[SPECIAL CORKESPONPSNCE.] Ottawa, March 17.���It was rather a strange coincidence that the bitterest fig*ht that was ever waged in the railway committee of the House of Commons, began on St. Patrick's Day. It was rather flattering* to the Boundary Creek district that it should be the subject of this wordy warfare. For the first time, the portly fig-ure of Sir William Van Home was seen in the committee room, and for the first time his voice was heard ag*ainst the granting- of a railway charter. Usually such matters are left by the Canadian Pacific Railway company to Judge Clark, to whom I made reference in a previous letter. But the C. P. R. are so anxious to shut out any competition in the Boundary Creek district, that the great and only Sir William made his appearance and addressed the committee. If Sir William were not a better railway man than he is a public speaker, he would never have become the president of the Canadian Pacific Railway company. If the C. P. R. company had been anxious to use arguments against the Corbin charter, Judge Clarke would have addressed the committee; but arguments being* difficult to find, Sir William showed himself to the committee. He talked for half an hour; he said nothing-. He intended to impress the committee with his importance, not by his speech. Did he succeed? Time will tell. The further consideration of the Kettle River Railway bill was deferred until next Tuesday. The bill was in charge of Mr. Hewitt Bostock, M. P. He contented himself with introducing Mr. 1$. V. Bodwell to the committee.' Mr. Bodwell's speech was carefully prepared. He boiled down all the arg-uments in favor of the road, as there was only a short time at his disposal. He was congratulated on all sides, and such a; competent critic as Mr. J. S. Willison, the manag-ing* editor of the Toronto Globe, claimed that it was the strong-est and most businesslike statement that was ever delivered to the railway committee, who generally hear with impatience the arg-uments used by charter promoters,and seldom applauding any one. The Rev. George R. Maxwell, the erudite and erratic member for Burrard, arose, not to speak, but to inform the committee that Sir William Van Home was present to oppose the granting* of the charter. Sir William was granted leave to speak. His portly, lumbering* form made its way slowly to the front, the members of the committee wondering* why the railway mag*nate, the railway czar of -the Dominion, should consider it necessary for him to personally appear in opposition to the granting* of a charter -for seventy-five miles of railway. Sir William regretted that he was forced to appear before the railway committee for the first time, particularly because he was opposing- a gentleman and one who was a bona fide railway builder, not a subsidy-hunter nor charter- monger. Mr. Corbin, to whom he referred, built and operated railwa3rs successfully. But Sir William would be unfaithful to the Dominion and the C. P. R. if he did not raise his voice against the granting of a charter that would divert trade from the Boundary Creek district into American channels. Sir William held that Boundary creek was the richest mining district in the known world; that if the Corbin road was built it would take $100,000,000 into the United States within the next ten years. Sir William called Mr. Bodwell's arguments humbug and was promptly oalled down by Mr. Bodwell. Sir William treated the facts in connection with the case with the same slight consideration that his company gives to the people of Canada. He told the committee that Americans owned the mines in Boundary creek, that they wanted an American road to build up their own country, but his most remarkable argument was that Corbin had the best route and could build twice as cheaply as the G.'P. R., and could operate twice as cheaply. If the government wished to ruin the C., P. R. it would grant the Corbin charter. The C. P. R. would make every sacrifice to secure the Boundary creek trade. Mr. Corbin was asked to speak; and tie made a short, businesslike, gentlemanly statement that appeared to carry inore weight than Sir William's bluster. When Mr. Corbin concluded it was 1 o'clock, the time for adjournment. Corbin will get the charter. T maintained so all along, and notwithstanding Sir William's personal opposition, I maintain so still. The committee were -with us to-day, overwhelmingly with us. It is hard telling what influence the C. P. R. will use in the meantime, but my opinion is that they can neither bribe nor bulldoze the committee into granting the C. P. R. a monopoly in Boundary creek. i7�� ��& $,'< ^ji> Irif ?tf '/if '/if '/If THE KETTLE RIVER RAILWAY. Editorial hi Toronto Globe of March 18th> The Railway Committee of Parliament should have very little difficulty in coming-to a conclusion on the application for a charter for the Kettle River Railway. It is understood that the company asks no bonus or any other public aid towards their enterprise ; the section otcountry which it is proposed to serve is badly in need of a railway : two circumstances which make a strong prima facie case why a charter should be granted. A proposition to build, a railway in this country without public aid is so pleasingly startling and is altogether so welcome an innovation that instead of meeting those who make it with any thing resembling-hostility we should at the very least give them every opportunity of carrying out their project. The argument is used that the proposed railway will connect with the American systems, which will make Spokane or some other United States city the natural entrepot of the Boundary country, giving American merchants and manufacturers an advantage over their Canadian rivals there. It will be seen that Mr. Corbin, who is the leading spirit of this project, and who already owns a line running across theborder into Rossland, produced evidence that 90 per cent, of the goods he carries into that town and neighborhood is of Canadian origin, and he argues from this that the same would be the case with the goods carried to the Boundary country. The Boundary country, which this projected railway will traverse, has immense deposits of ore, some of it no doubt low grade. But away to the north of it, up the various forks of the Kettle river, is a country which is only now . being invaded by prospectors. The head water of these forks, it is asserted, has never been explored by the white man, and, so far as there are any records, even by the red. The fringe of it that has been prospected shows so encouraging a distribution of minerals that every season further inroads have been made into it and hundreds of claims have been staked. If the realization has any relation to the promise there should be plent3r of business for a railway, and if it is carried on to Okanagan I^ake a southern exit would be given to a large section of farming and ranching lands which border on that body of water. Parliament should take precautions that the Canadian clients of the road shall be able to use it on as good terms as its American clients, and the company's offer to give as low rates to any Canadian as to any American smelter should be accepted and made secure, and, indeed, any other terms that would be advantageous to the community through which it runs, and that it would be fair to impose on the railway, should be exacted. Parliament's only other duty is to make sure that the promoters mean business and will give the country the railway facilities it heeds at the earliest possible moment. THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. ��� 1 Til NOTES FROM OTTAWA. [SPECIAL CORKESPONDENCE.] Ottawa, March 22nd.���Those interested in the passage of the bill incorporating the Kettle Rivers Rail way Company were disappointed again today. A local bridge company had a bill before the railway committee, and as there was considerable opposition, the two hours at the disposal of the committee were spent, sp that the Kettle River bill was not reached. However, arrangements were made whereby the Kettle River bill is the first on the order paper for Thursday, and it is confidently expected that a vote will be reached on that day. The Boundary Creek delegation, who are anxious to g-et home, were not the only persons disappointed. The C. P. R. officials were present in greater numbers than at the preceding meeting. Sir William Van Home, Vice-president G'Shaugh- nessy, Judg-e Clarke and Mr. Tait represented the big corporation, and they were as anxious for the fight to reach a conclusion as anyone. Sir William, not satisfied with addressing the railway committee, has written a letter. It was addressed to the editor of the Toronto Globe and expresses the most profound astonishment that Canada's greatest daily should dare to support the Kettle River Valley road. The Globe replied in an editorial that was, if a^'thing, stronger than the leader in which it first advocated the granting of a char- . ter to". Mr. Corbin. The Globe's position on this question disposes of the absurd contention that it is in anyway under the control of the C.P.R. Although the Globe supported the giving" of the Crow's Nest railway to the C.P.R.., it did so for public reasons and not because its policy was dictated by the C.P.R. The strong fight it is making in the interests of the public for the Kettle River road conclusive^* proves this. Sir William's speech before the railway committee, opposing the Kettle River Railway charter, is being ridiculed by the leading newspapers of Ontario. The Toronto Telegram puts it this way: "Usually Sir William Van Horne talks to the railway committee through his lawj'er, but on Thursday last he talked through his hat !" I am still of the opinion that the Kettle River Valley Railway charter will be granted, i Mr. J. E. Boss has been here for a j week. He has purchased machinery- i which will be shipped immediately and j used in the development of the Stem- I winder and Brooklyn mines. The ma- j chinery includes two boilers and two j hoists, with all other incidentals. Mr. ! Boss tells me that the development of j. the Stemwinder and BrookU'u will be ! activeh* pushed this summer. Mr. Andrew Kelly, the vice-president j of the Brandon & Golden Crown Com- j pany, is in Ottawa. He is anxious to j see Corbin secure his charter. j t I saw Mr. Johnston, one of the own- ��� ers of the Gold Bug, in Montreal. He i says that they will work the mine as j soon as a railway is assured. j Mr. Rufus Pope, M.P., Mr. Turner, and other shareholders in the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill, were also seen. They a;re well satisfied with the development work being carried on on the properties and are working" to secure the Corbin charter. SUMMIT CAMP. On the B. C. the shaft is down 130 feet in splendid ore. The company is also drifting from the shaft. The B. C. was located in 1896 by A. R. Fing- land and W. Shaw, and has perhaps the best showing-s of any claim in the district. Assays run nearly 20 per cent, in copper. The claim is under bond for $60,000. On the R. Bell there is a shaft 45 feet in depth and a crosscut of 14 feet from the shaft to strike the ledge. About 200 feet south of this shaft is another 80 feet in depth. From this shaft it was intended to crosscut to tap the ledg-e, but it had to be abandoned on account of water. This difficulty will be overcome when machinery is installed on the claim. The R. Bell was located in May 1895 by John Kehoe, and has since been stocked. The ore in the R. Bell is similar in character to that on the B. C. The Cordick, an adjoining" claim to the R. Bell, was located by J. Cordick in 1894. About $700 has been expended in work on this claim, consisting- of two shafts 45 and 18 feet in depth, and considerable outside work. The Cordick has been crown granted. The Ontario was located by W. Shaw in. 1895. Sufficient work has been done on the claim to entitle the owner to a crown grant. At present a shaft is being" sunk. Previous work consisted of prospecting for the ledg-e. It is claimed that the B. C. ledge runs through the Ontario. This view is evidently held by Mr. Shaw, the owner, as the claini is not on the market. The Wake was located in 1895 by Thos. Wake and Jas. Atwood. On this claim considerable open work has been done, giving good surface showing's. The Duplicate is a relocation of the Victoria, made in 1895, and owned by J. McNicol, W. Shaw and W. B. Rick- ards. The claim has an excellent location, but no work to speak of has been done on it. Adjoining and between the Duplicate and Josie is the Triplicate, a fractional claini located October 1897 by W. Shaw and J. McNicol. On this claim there are good surf ace showings. The Josie. was located in 1896 by J. W. Young* and is owned by Rog*ers, Young* and others. On the claim a shaft has been sunk 90 feet. Some of the ore taken from the Josie carries native copper, and is looked upon as a very promising* property. In the estimates placed before the legislature last week, the proposed expenditure for the administration of justice in the province is set down at $295,608, and that for educational purposes $280,622. This has been the trouble in British Columbia, too much justice (?) and not enough of education. A system that requires a greater expenditure on constables, jails, etc., than teachers and schools, must be wrong* somewhere. a Business �� e �� EH 9 9 9 A Typewriter is a Necessity- it pays to buy the Best.

Quite a number of prospectors are g*o- ing into the district and up the West Fork. .'; Frequently letters come to this office from eastern points and the old country, asking for information about British Columbia, what the chances are for a young- man in this country,etc, British Columbia is a hard proposition to describe on a postal card or in ah ordinary letter, and the average person has not time to devote to a full description of the resources of the province. As to the chances for a young' man in the west, much depends on the young .''man..'. If he is the kind that travels on his shape, he will probably come under the care of the police, sooner or later, unless he has sufficient pull to g-et a government position. If he has a coat that will come off when a. job is offered, the chances are very g-ood for three meals a day. A communication appeared in the Vancouver World the past week which indicates a sore head on the part of the correspondent. In railway matters, the residents of Boundary district are almost unanimously in favor ������' of a charter being granted to Corbin. The dramatic entertainment given in Rendell's hall was one means by which money was raised to send a delegate to Ottawa to look after the railwav in- terests of the district. Those attending the entertainment appeared to be satisfied with the amusement, furnished.. In reg-ard to the other part of the communication, the World correspondent may have given the 'matter, a more careful study than the majority , of the residents of Greenwood.

Assays from the new strike on the Tenbrbck, Deadwood camp, run from $13 to $17 in gold and copper. The Tenbrock is an adjoining claim to the Mother I^ode. The ledge matter is about 50 feet in width. J. B. Moody, formerly of Mount Vernon, Wash., has accepted a position in the store of Rendell & Co., Greenwood. Mr. Moody was for a number of years clerk of Skagit county, and a prominent real estate dealer in the boom times on the Coast. W. M. Williams, general superintendent of the properties controlled by J. P. Graves of Spokane, has been making an inspection of the Old Ironsides in Greenwood camp the past week, and is highly pleased with the work being done and the showing on the claim. He says that Boundary Creek gives promise of being a great mining camp. Geo. W. Rumberger of camp was in the city this has finished the survey claims in that camp, and start development work on an adjoining claim to the Brook^n, Phoenix and Old Ironsides the snow leaves the Greenwood week. He of all his expects to the Idaho, , as soon as has been considerable work done on the Idaho, consisting of a shaft down nearly 30 feet, and several open cuts, one of which is 110 feet in length. Scott McRae is doing assessment work on the Ah There, in Deadwood camp. The Ah There is a south extension of the Greyhound, and is owned by Scott McRae and Harry Morgan. On the Red Kagle, in the Rogers group of claims, south of Fisherman creek and on the east side of Summit camp, a winze is being sunk about 80 feet from the mouth of the tunnel, to strike the ledge. Forbes M. Kerby, M. E}., was in town Wednesday. He is at present surveying the Hartford and J; and R., in Wellington camp, owned by Jones and Rogers. These claims adjoin the Golden Crown, and have had three assessments done on them, with prospects of developing into premising properties.

The latest news in reference to railway matters appeared in the Spokes- lnan^Review of the 30th of March. It was stated that Hon. A. G. Blair, inin- ister of railways and canals, had spoken in favor of the Corbin charter, and would support it. This would insure -the passing- of the bill. The Kaslo Board of Trade also favors the Corbin ���charter. The following" is the dispatch from Ottawa : "The Kaslo Board of Trade yesterday unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing* Mr. ��� Gorbin's application for a charter to the Kettle River Railway company. The resolution was wired to Ottawa. It states that the Kaslo Board of Trade strongly dissents from the resolution of the legislature of British Columbia, and ���expresses its accord with the resolutions of the boards of trade of Nelson, Rossland and other interior towns. In transmitting the resolution to Representative Bostock at Ottawa, President Buchanan wrote : "We remember the struggle we had in former years to secure the right for the Nelson & Fort Sheppard to come in and we are willing to speak a word tor a sister community now opposed in its wishes by the same influence, and ���oh'.the same ground that we were opposed then. Of course, we are anxious that provision should be. made for advantageous rates over Corbin\s road to British Columbia points, and we are also in favor of every encourag-ement being extended to the Canadian -Pacific railway to complete at the earliest possible moment their connection into the Boundary country." Ik the Provincial legislature, on Mr. Helmcken's motion opposing* the granting* of a charter to the Corbin system, the vote stood 20 for and 10 ag-ainst. Mr. Williams of Vancouver and the Hon. David Higgins voted for the mo tion, otherwise the vote was a straig-ht party one, the government supporting*, and the, opposition opposing the resolution. Mr. Graham, member for East Yale made the strongest speech ag-ainst the resolution. He said in part: "Very g-ood reasons could be shown why the Kettle River Valley railway should be g-iven a charter and built into the Boundai-y country. He reminded the house that in a great many instances it had granted charters for railways to cross the international boundary. He instanced the Great Northern railway company's, connection with New Westminster, the Canadian Pacific railway connection at Mission, the Red Mountain railway from Rossland to North- port, and the Nelson & Fort Sheppard railway from Nelson to the boundary. In the case of the Boundary district, he said it was urg*eiit that the Kettle River railway receive a charter at once. He said that the requirements and possibilities of the district were such that in a very few years no single line of railway would be able to handle the- traffic of that section. He predicted that if the Kettle river road was built into Boundary there would be an immense increase in the revenue of the district." That org*anic specimen, the Vancouver World, says, in its last issue : " Ivet it be known far and near that those who are desirous of giving away the natural wealth which this province possesses, and the people's inheritance are the Opposition." And this has reference to the attitude of the Opposition on Mr. Helmcken's resolution calling* upon the Dominion .government to refuse a charter to the Kettle River Valley Railway, which seeks to enter the Boundary country from the .south, and asks not a cent of public money nor a rod of the " peojDle's inheritance." The Opposition opposed the putting through of Mr. Helmcken's resolution until some information could be obtained on the subject; but, with a sig-nificant solicitude for the interests of the C. P. R., the g*overnment insisted on the legislature "going it blind " and passing the resolution, anyhow.��� Columbian. IT IS IMMENSE. A. A. Booth, deputy U. S. mineral surveyor of Spokane, and Peter L<ux, an experienced Colorado miner, returned to town last evening* after a trip to Torodo creek. They are intensely enthusiastic over what they saw. there. " The mineral formation is marvellous," remarked Mr. Booth. "We saw'four great ledges during* our brief stziy. The little work already done indicates remarkably extensive and rich deposits of g*old-bearing ore." " If one ledge in. ten is as rich, as the surface prospects indicate, the district will surpass Cripple Creek," added Mr. L/u::.���Republic Pioneer. J. A. Coryell and T.

He stole a horse from Mike McPhail, a boy who recently arrived here. The fellow also stole a tent, a saddle, cooking utensils and a rope from other persons. He was evidently bent on a prospecting trip. the politicians who are opposing them may not get what they want at the coming election. Mr. Turner and Mr. Higgins and Mr. Helmcken may be sent into retirement by the common people, who are sincerely tired of being governed by men who are only too willing to do the bidding of monopolists.���Nelson Tribune. OUR TIME COMING. The Boundary Creek people may not get the railway that they want as soon as they should have it; but perhaps The Dominion Franchise. The Franchise bill introduced b}r Mr. Fitzpatrick provides that the qualifications necessary to entitle aii3r person to vote thereat shall be those established by the laws..of that province as necessary to entitle such persons to vote in the same part of the province at a provincial election ; and that if the provincial lists are more than a year old new lists shall be prepared for the Dominion elections. This arrangement seems to be simple, inexpensive and fair. Thursday was dog tax day, and the the collector did a large business, nearly all the curs in the city being transformed into valuable animals. THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. COUNCIL MEETING.

The speech of Sir William Van Home, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway company, before the private bills committee, should prove to be a splendid advertisement of the Boundary Creek mines. He said that "Boundary Creek *was the richest mining* district in the known world," and that if the Corbin charter were granted the "road would in the next ten years, take $100,000,000 out of Canada." A pretty g-ood recommendation for the district itself. It is often the duty of a newspaper, to criticize the public policy of an administration or the public acts of an official. It is also necessary at times to mention the names of officials in, criticizing- their public acts. During* the absence of the editor at Ottawa, The Times has not said a word in reference to the private acts or character of any one. In the public interest it has freely and independently referred to the public acts of officials and censured when censure was needed. If this can be construed as indulg-ing in personalities, then an'experience of a quarter of a century in newspaper work has been thrown away. Some arrang-enients should be made by which the mail could be sent on from Grand Forks to Greenwood by the morning-stag-e the day following- its arrival at that place. I^ast fall the people west ; of Boundary mountain were g*iven to understand that a daily mail would be carried between Grand. Forks and Midway after the 1st of Jan- iiar3r. Afterwards this contract was modified, making- the service daily to Greenwood and tri-weekly to Midway. The mail^ for some reason unknown to the public, is held over a day at Grand Forks and then forwarded to Greenwood. This is not only an inconvenience to Greenwood, but also to the people of Midway and other points north and west of that place. Something* should be done by the postoffice inspector to remedy this. What about a convention ? Whose duty is it to make a move in the matter ? Is each one afraid of his neighbor ? " Are all the electors possible candidates and afraid of injuring- probable chances of election ? What is the matter -with the mayor calling* a meeting* for organization purposes? Someone should move in the matter, and now that the mayor is home, he could call a meeting* of the electors for the purpose of appointing* a committee to correspond with other polling* sub-divisions in the district with the object of organization for the campaig-n, and a convention being- held at an early date. A meeting* should also be held in Mid- wajr division and a committee appointed. The two divisions could then communicate with other parts of the electoral district and by the time the legislature is prorog-ued the constituency would be thoroug-hly organized, and in a position to elect the convention choice. There is not any too much time for org-anization purposes, should the election be held in May, and if held this month, it will be impossible for a candidate to make a thoroug*h canvass of the district. The action of the government in opposition to the Corbin charter, should be sufficient reason for every one interested in the district doing* their utmost to defeat the Turner administration ���./',������'...'.���...:.: ��� T The White Front Store Has a complete stock of Groceries* Hams and Bacon, Canned Meats, Clothing, etc,, of every description, suitable for Prospecting Outfits; Just make your order out on a slip of paper and we will have your goods securely packed (just as though you were waiting) all ready for you.

A fence is to be built at Midwaj*".around the g-ovenimeiit building*s, at a cost of $200. Cascade is to g*et a lock-up costing- $400. A sum of $700 is set apart this \rear for building* a school house at Greenwood. This is supplementary to the $S00 voted last year. The resident physician at the hospital receives $300. Altogether, Bounclarv district is down in the estimates for $600 for public works, $700 for a school building* and $300 for a doctor, while the administration of justice will cost for the same district $2,100, or $600 for public works and $2,100 for justice. The item for <������� 4* .*���' Is prepared to supply the trade with first-class .Bottled Beer nianufactured by the " Ivion Brewer}* Company, I/td.," of Rossland.

FISH ERf Columbian Steam Bottling Works, near the Saw Mill, Greenwood TT justice does not include three constables, one each at Midway, Greenwood and Grand Forlcs, which will raise the justice column about $2,500 more, or a total of justice of about $4,600, and $600 for public works. The $600 might just as well be placed under the head of " administration of justice," for $200 of it is for fencing* a jail and $400 for building* one. Now this district is not a quarrelsome one, and we could g-et along* very well without so much justice arid a little more public improvement. Public works will probably be g*iven more attention in the supplementary estimates, and this district will likely g-et a good appropriation for roads and bridg*es, or at least a fair share of the $24,000 voted for that purpose in E}ast Yale. For educational purposes, Cascade' Cit5r is down for salary and incidentals, $640 ; Grand Forks, $1,340; Kettle River, $742; North Kettle River, $640 ; Midway, $742, and Greenwood, $700, making* a .total of $4,904. It is hardly conceivable the dense ig*- norance which prevails among-st the residents of the Coast respecting* the Interior of the province. Allowing- for even the low averag-e of intelligence which the members of the present legislature are credited with, it will scarcely be believed that a member moved "that the House required information so that it could know whether the Corbin line crossed the boundary or not." Another member opposed the charter because Corbin had not first come to the provincial legislature and been granted "permission to expropriate Crown lands." tt would be a difficult matter for a land-grabber as keen even as the C.P.R. octopus to find a quarter-section of Crown land on the route Corbin wishes to follow.

The regular meeting-of the Boundary Creek Mining and Commercial Association was held Wednesday evening, Mr. J. W. Nelson in the chair. Minutes of previous meeting read and adopted. The secretary read resolution drafted by committee appointed at last meeting of association, in reference to redistribution advocated by the Rossland delegation, and on. motion of Mr. Black seconded by Mr. McEean, the committee was thanked and discharged. A communication from Mr. Ross, delegate to Ottawa was read. Mayor Wood, delegate of the association to Victoria, reported. He had advocated legislation compelling those applying for charter commencing construction of road from Penticton as well as Robson. The government had stated the intention to withdraw land grant and give a cash subsidy of $4,0C>0 per mile. Work would be commenced by 1st of June. A clause making this binding would be inserted in charter. He had done all he could with the business men on the Coast, in favor of the Corbin charter, but they appeared to think that a charter to Corbin would be injurious, to; coast trade. Had a promise from Hon. G. B. Martin that an appropriation would be made in aid of the Greenwood hospital: also that either a ferry or bridge would be built oil the West Eork before high water. He had also written an article which appeared in the Vancouver World, explaining- our position in regard to railway matters, showing the necessity of a railroad being built into the Boundary Creek country this season. From what he heard in regard to redistribution he believed that the proposed bill would be a gerrymander. On motion of Mr. Black, seconded by Mr. Pallett, a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Wood. Account of Rendell & Co., for $24.50, hall rent, was ordered paid. v The secretary stated that he had not yet received list of members from Mr. E. Jacobs, a former secretary of the association, so could not make collections. Mr. Wood stated that he thought railway construction would be com- menced within six weeks, and that the association should, if anything be more energetic than they have been. The association would have plenty of work to do during the summer. He also suggested that name be changed to Greenwood association. If other towns in the district would form similar associations and work in harmony, much good might be done for the district. Mr. Black informed those present that he would be only too pleased to receive the names and fill in applications of voters free of charge. He also stated the qualifications necessary for voting at provincial elections. Moved by Mr. Wood, seconded by Mr. Eamont, that association be a committee to register those not now on the voters' list, and that each member does his utmost to secure the registration of voters.

Description | The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907).
