A Weekly Paper published in the interests ot the Boundary Creek Mining District. i^ vol.. iv GREENWOOD, B.C., SATURDAY, JULY 16,1898. 97 ; i9 SK': A CLOSE CONTEST The Turner Government Will Not Have a Working Majority in the House, Strong Probability That the Opposition Have Carried a Majority of the Seats, Owing to the irregular mail service between Grand Forks and Greenwood it is impossible to give any definite election news at the time of writing. Sufficient particulars have been ascertained however to state that there is a strong probability that neither party will have a working majority. It is even probable that when the full returns are known the government will find itself in the minority and will be forced to tender its resignation. There have been a goodomany surprises. The most regretable result of the close campaign is the defeat of' Donald Graham. The desertion of his own friends at Armstrong*, the use of the people's money to bribe the people and the service rendered the government candidate by former prominent oppositionists under promise of government jobs and government positions are responsible for his defeat. Several opposition candidates were elected on Vancouver Island and F. J. Dean succeeded in defeating Geo. B. Martin, the chief commissioner. Flsewhere is published the results as far as obtainable. Mr. Martin's election was never in doubt, notwithstanding the bluster of the government supporters. Mr. McKane never had the slightest chance of carrying the constituency. In Greenwood election day passed off quietly. The majority of the voters polled their votes in the forenoon. Andrew Leamy was the deputy-returning officer and J. Leamy poll clerk. F. Miller and C. W. H. Sansom acted as scrutineers for Mr. McKane, and James Kerr and Duncan Ross for Mr. Martin. The government workers had several teams and plenty of money. The teams hauled opposition voters to the polls, while the money gathered in the barroom voters. The ballots were counted by 4:30. Martin's vote was 69 and McKane's 35, a majority of 34. One ballot, on which McKane's name was written, was allowed. Of McKane's voters, 10 came from Grand Forks and Rossland; at least 10 were the result of the sub-treasurer's influence, and the balance were those who voted because of prejudice or considered that it was the proper thing to vote for the government because its return to power was certain. Midway responded nobly. Thirty-five votes were polled; three marked for Martin were considered spoiled, 27 were counted for Martin and only 5 for McKane. Grand Forks also did well, giving a majority of 13 for ?\Martin. Cascade City gave 6 majority for Martin, Ross- 'land 97, and Trail 5, making a total majority of 177. NOTES. We told you so ! Good Old Midway ! It's time for a change ! Never (?) Speak kindly of the Golden Twins. McKane's name is Dennis the Left. What will the charter mongers do now ? Poor, forsaken, guardianless, Frnie Miller ! Where, Oh where is Cyclone Nelson, Q. C. ? And Turner & Co. will go into moss culture. The government defeated ? Beastly bad taste ! Sixty-nine good electors and true in Greenwood. Windy Walkeni can play the jumping Jack at home. What's the matter with Jim Martin? Nit. He's all right.'' A majority at every polling booth speaks well foi James Martin. Mac, you are always switching the Grand Forks Miner at the wrong" time. Bid a fond farewell to the mortgage tax, the Miners' tax and the gerrymander. J. C. McLagari will have some difficulty in determining where he is at for a few days. Brown fired too many shots from his trusty. Winchester away from his own constituency. Selfish Victorians got a surprise the last Dominion election ; they got a bigger surprise last Saturday. If all the opposition had fought as hard as F. J. Deane, there would not have been a government man returned. It wasn't an earthquake or an explosion in Greenwood Saturday evening. It was just the rooters when they heard from Midway. THE CITY COUNCIL. 0k ->tf The maintenance and continuance of the Greenwood hospital was the subject which occupied the attention of the city fathers at their regular meeting on Monday evening last. His worship, Mayor Wood, presided, and Aldermen Galloway, Paton, Barrett and Phaleh were present. The discussion in reference to the hospital was started by .the following letter from Mr. F. M. F. Munns of the Anaconda mines : Greenwood, B. C, July 11, 1898. Gentlemen.��� As you represent the interests of Greenwood city and the community at large, may I be allowed to draw your serious attention to the fact that the hospital, through want of funds, will close its doors at the end of this month. I can hardly think that the residents, both in the town itself and the adjacent mining camps, quite realize what this really involves, should any epidemic arise, which a young,town and a mining camp is very liable to. I have myself seen (taking Coolgardie, Western Australia, as an instance) the appalling results of typhoid fever, where all the hospitals were overcrowded with patients, and the godsend it was to have such a place to go to, where one would be properly cared for and nursed, and as this affects not only the residents of the town but the miner and prospector, I feel sure that if the matter were placed before them, showing the enormous advantages of a local hospital, they would readily respond. F. M. F. Munns. Fvery member of the council acknowledged the very serious nature of Dr. Jakes' decision, and innumerable suggestions were offered as to the best method of securing a steady revenue for the institution. Alderman Phelan minutely told how in the lumbering districts of the east similar hospitals were maintained by agents selling tickets tp the many men employed in the woods and the sawmills. He thought that with such a large district to draw from, there should be no difficulty in securing the sale of sufficient hospital tickets here to ensure a steady revenue. All felt that what was needed was to rouse the mineowners and miners to see the necessity for the hospital and ensure its continuance by contributing vigorously to its support, securing in return the best of medical attendance and nursing when needed. A committee, consisting of Mayor Wood, Alderman Phalen and Mr. Munns, was appointed to interview Dr. Jakes to see what steps should be taken. After the consideration of some minor routine business the council adjourned. '.- . THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. ��^gp GREENWOOD AND DISTRICT. Geo. R. Naden leaves to-morrow for Vernon. E. Widmark and family have left on a holiday trip to Europe. Arthur and Chas. Rendell are expected back, from New Foundland in a few days. The Rosslander, a weekly Rossland paper has been absorbed by the Daily L/eader. Hedley Chapman, traveler for the Ames.Holden Co. was in Greenwood this.week. * Stanley Henderson, a Vancouver In surance man paid the district a visit last week. ' Thos. Allice a well known Victoria drummer paid Greenwood a business visit this week. Rev. Mr. Oswald held his initial service in Greenwood Sunday evening and preached an eloquent sermon to a large congregation. W. B. Rickards of Rickards, Beiiiier- niaii & Co., J. McNicol and Forbes M. Kerby were among the Midwayites, visiting the city this week. Aid. W. B. Paton returned on Monday from a trip to Rossland, Nelson and other Kootenay points. He also visited Spallumacheen and Vernon. There were many thirsty mortals in Greenwood Saturday and Sunday, the Election Act and the Sunday Closing Law being responsible for the liquor famine. J. E. Hooson, provincial constable at Rossland, carried the four ballot boxes necessary for Boundary creek on horseback from Bossburg-, and returned on Saturday night. ,. Mr. Arthur Mowat, a son of Sir Oliver Mowat, L/ieutenant-governor of Ontario, who arrived in Greenwood last week has decided to remain here. Mr. Mowat is well pleased with the outlook for the city and district and.it is his intention after looking- around to invest in real estate and mines. DEN OF RATTLESNAKES. A. R. McDonald returned yesterday from a visit to the Boundary Creek country says the Rossland Miner and was making- the hair of his friends stand on end with a recital of the experience of a surveyor who had an exciting- time while in a den of rattlesnakes. The surveyor is employed by the C. & W. and was alone on a big rock slide at the lower end of Christina lake. The knight of the transit and level was taking a sig-ht throug-h a level when the ominous sound of the rattle of a rattlesnake was heard. Then other rattlers were heard, until it seemed to him that there were regiments of the crotalidas family around. One look showed him that many snakes were advancing upon him from all directions. With a yell he ran from the spot leaving his instrument. So lively did he move that he lost during his flight his hat and pistol. In a short time he returned with several of his companions, armed with poles, and in a few minutes they had dispatched 30 of the rattlers. The rest g-lided away into the rocks and so escaped the hunters. sses ssss $�� 2E5- ��$��� 5S��5 *f*.' ��� IS THE 2E5 ass- '$& a�� :'"3ses tiC'r?

IS: 'f* '. The mail service between Grand Forks and Greenwood is a disgrace to the postoffice department and to the postmaster at Grand Forks.: It would not be tolerated for a single day in any other district except Boundary Greek ,'.4 where the people appear to have.be- ' come calloused by g-overnniental neglect and indifference. The attention of Postoffice Inspector Fletcher has been repeatedly called to. the travesty on mail service which is being carried on in this district. He frequently promised to have the matter reformed but did nothing. If the postoffice inspector is supposed to do anything except to draw his salary he should be at once instructed to place the mail service in this district upon such a footing that will give the people some measure of relief from the tantalizing inconveniencies and the serious losses that are the natural consequence of the haphazard methods of handling the mails at present in vogue. The' post master at Grand Forks assumes that his chief duty is to cause the people of Greenwopd as much trouble as he possibly can. , , On Friday week there was delivered at the Greenwood postoffice a letter bearing the Greenwood post mark of July 7. It bore the Grand Forks post mark of July 1st. This letter reached Grand. Forks in two days from Montana and it took six days in traveling from Grand Forks to Greenwood, n distance of 20 miles. On Tuesday last Monday's Spokesman-Review arrived; Sunday's Review did not arrive. On Wednesday there was no letter mail and no Rossland papers. On every other day the mail shows the same incompleteness and bear the same ear marks of careless handling. The people of Greenwood would be quite willing to subscribe for a substantial superannuation fund to the Grand Forks post master if the post- office department would guarantee a regular system. . Complaint after complaint has been forwarded to the department without any consideration or redress. We hope that Mr. Hewitt Bostock, M. P., will take this matter up in the interest of his constituents and that he will not be satisfied until the irregularities cease. , His Honor Judge Spinks came in from Rossland Saturday evening- and spent Sunday in Greenwood. ^^ic^rzc^^isc��aca3^ff2CJiU,ir--3c�� .rr^-j.-j: sitti^^c-ie.

The result is close, it is true but the opposition have secured 19 seats while the g-overnment have only 15 seats. Two independent government supporters, have also been elected. The elections in Cassiar have not yet been held. It is reported from the Coast that Hon. D. W. Higgings and Hayward are going to contest the election in Fsquiinalt. A recount may- decide the election in favor of that constituency as the opposition are only three behind. In any case the election is likely to be voided as the most open bribery is charged against those working for the government. In North Victoria, T. W. Paterson the opposition candidate was defeated by 8 votes. Here to bribery and corruption is charged. It is even reported that 20 Frazer River fishermen were taken to Plumper's Pass and that they voted for the government although their names did not appear on the voters' list. Fven the, government supporters conceded the seat to Mr. Paterson and he -��� is determined to make a ,. fight for the seat to which he is justly entitled. The government cannot expect to carry on the business of the country. Fven should the two independents give Mr. Turner a loyal support and Cassiar return two government members which is-'extremely doubtful under the circumstances, the government would still be in the minority after the election of a speaker. Premier Turner ought to resign at once. He is not likely to do so but will cling- to office hoping by promises arid bribes to win some opposition members to his side. We do not think such a course would be successful and the election recounts are likely to decide in favor of the opposition. Colonel Baker was elected in Fast Kootenay b3r a majority of only 15. It is r.quite possible, now that the Turner government' has lost' prestige in the province, Cassiar ma3r return two opposition members. In that event, the opposition would have a working majority. Messrs. McTavish aud Calbreath, the opposition candidates in the riding, are both residents of the district, and are well known and popular men. C. F. Tisclall headed the poll in Vancouver, R. McPherson second, F. C. Cotton third, and Jos. Martin fourth. McDonald, one of the government candidates, lost his deposit. .

The following are the opinions of the leading party journals: News-Advertiser, (Oppo.):���-The elections for the two seats in Cassiar are yet to be held, but even allowing that the government carried both of them and had the support of the two Independents it would only have 19 seats or just half the house, as there is little doubt that the opposition will carry both seats in Cariboo. Fven should the government not resign in such a contingency, it could not avoid defeat as soon as the House met. Assuming that the opposition allowed it to elect a speaker, the government would immediately be in a minority of one on a motion of want of confidence and meet with immediate defeat. It is not, however, at all certain that it will carry both the seats in Cassiar under the circumstances, while we do not see how Mr. Henderson, the Independent member for New Westminster, could refuse to support the opposition on a vote or any one of the questions on which he has admitted he is in sympathy with it and not with the government. In any case the government cannot carry on the business of the province and we can only await the developments which constitutional methods will bring about. The Colonist, (Govt.):���At the present writing- the returns indicate that the government has been sustained by a good working majority. Lyater returns may affect the result, but we see no reason to doubt that the Hon. Mr. Turner will administer the government of the province as premier during the next four 3rears. The returns contain some surprises to both parties, and the Colonist concedes that it was greatly mistaken in j its estimate of the probabilities in several constituencies. The opposition polled a larger vote than we anticipated. ...' Vancouver World, (Govt): While the- returns are not yet to hand it is safe to predict that in a house of 38 members: the government will have a majority, on a want of confidence motion, sirffi- _ cient to ensure its permanence. This, '$.'+ after all, was the main issue. It matters little now how constituencies went as long as the great heart of the province is right. To have placed those who sought the honor in power would have meant destruction and in opposition they can effect little harm if they cannot do much good. All the vast sums of money poured out by their backers were practically thrown away. If Mr. Deane is declared at the head of the poll there is no doubt whatever that his election will be successfully ^protested because of the glaring audacity that marked his sup. porters'conduct. It will take a little time yet for the smoke of battle to clear away, but the government has gone the hottest fight that ever fell to ���,��� the lot of any administration in British Columbia, and won-���that is enough. Columbian, (Oppo.):���The grand result, therefore, of Saturdays's elections is that the Turner government has been virtually defeated, in any event; for its large' majority has been shorn from it, at the least, and the prospect of it being able to hold on to power, if the final results give it all it can now possibly get, are very slim, indeed. To have achieved even such a result as this is, in the circumstances, most gratifying to the opposition, and a matter of sincere congratulation to the province. Handicapped by the rotten representation system of the government, and their grossly corrupt and slanderous campaign, it was much, very much that the opposition should have accomplished what they have, at the very least, accomplished in the elections��� the virtual defeat of the Turner government, rendering them powerless for further mischief, and assuring their complete exile from power at an early date. Times, (Opp.): There is very little doubt that the government has been defeated. The result in any event will be close, but at the moment of writing ��� the returns give the opposition about one-half of the house , with final returns in half a dozen constituencies yet to be received. Should these divide evenly, as they are expected to do, the government will be in a minority-of; from 2 to 4 votes. The opposition, therefore, can count with complete- confidence on a majority over the government of from four to six votes when all the elections have been held. y?crrir,r.wr.cvzx, S.

The latest addition is an electric lig-ht plant and a water system, which will be installed by B. M. Smith of Revelstoke. "The poles are being- taken from the woods and workmen are constructing- the dam. The pipes follow the creek for 3,000 feet and there secure a head of 200 feet, giving a pressure of 100 pounds to the square inch on the business streets of the town. The water '��� will be pure and >fresh as "it comes j*;& larg-ely from mountain spring-s, and |p the natural flow being- ample for two I j| larg-e fire'hose to run an indefinite I | period. This assures protection from \ If fire for the town and an excellent [ If supply of water for domestic purposes. \ v^ The people are enthusiastic over the |\ convenience and safety this will afford fi ' them.

Both/arc and incandescent lig-hts will be installed., "This is one of the most remarkable towns in the history of Kootenay, or the Pacific northwest, for rapidity of growth and permanent improvements. The town is only twenty days old, yet there are more substantial and well- built houses than in any other town ever built in the northwest. A weekly paper will appear Saturday, making- the fourth issue, the first being- printed before there was a house in town and while the surveyors were cutting- trees for lines. Now comes an electric lig-ht and water plant, costing- many thousands of dollars, the larg-est wharf on the lake, two daily mails, but no post- , office. "There are- a thousand men in Brooklyn and vicinity who g-et mail at this point which is kept in a soap box outside the News office. lOach man is his own postmaster. The letters are left on the News desk and are bundled and taken aboard by the oblig-ing- pen pusher. " Three immense lumber rafts have been unloaded here, the total being- 750,000 feet of lumber, which has been put into buildings. "There has been considerable excitement here to-day on account of the provincial elections, a g-reat many of the people going- to the several polling- places at Deer Park, Trail, Rossland and Nelson. There are several here who are hunting- up the stray voters and sending them to the proper voting places. "Brooklvn has an ideal site for a city. The lake at this point is two miles wide and the view is unobstructed for many miles up and down. High basaltic cliffs wall in the waters aiid .scarcely a ripple is seen to disturb the smoothness of the surface. The hills are not heavily wooded and away up the mountain sides can be seen little green benches, park like in appearance many of them having little mountain streams which come tumbling down, falling hundreds of feet over cliffs of rock, dashing into foam and burying themselves in the bosoni of the lake. These open glades are excellent pasture for the deer and many can be seen at all times quietly grazing, for as yet the sight of the sportsman has not alarmed them sufficiently to drive them to the deep forests. Wishing and boating are amusements all indulge in, as the trout are plentiful and bite freely. lOvery evening <pleasure parties are organized to sail or row to Dog creek, where^ trolling is always rewarded with a good catch of rainbow trout. E}very night the neV wharf is lined with boys and workmen who catch large numbers of white fish which are good eating. ]��CiiaggftffffKWWPM<gaowjtt!ra-naB^.��^ | i | Hammocks, Palm Leaf Fans, Skipping Ropes, Pocket Compasses, Magnifying Glasses, Children's Wagons, Children's Carts, Base Balls, Etc, AT SMITH & McRAES/l Books, Stationery, Wall.

It was a matter of keen disappointment to those anxious to secure ,g"ood government in this province, that a larg-e number of residents, of the district <-neglected to have their names reg-istered on the provincial voters' list. Many of the comparatively recent arrivals in the district, appear to be laboring- under the impression that if their names are placed on either the ���municipal or federal lists,: they will also appear on the provincial list. [ It should be remembered that a separate reg-istratioii is necessary for the provincial list. We sug-g-est that all those interested in having- a larg-e voters' [-list in this district, provide themselves with blank forms of registration and insist upon reg-is.tering-'every one properly qualified whose name does not appear on the present list. All applications should be sent to John Kirkup, collector of votes, Rossland. Owing- to the very close election just held, leaving-scarcely a working- majority, a new election ma}1, be" necessary at anv time. Keuce the necessity of securing- the registration of over a hundred residents of the district whose licLines do not appear on the present list. ODDFELLOWS INSTALLATION. Boundary Valley L,odg-e I. O.

Boundary Valley L/odg-e is rapidly increasing- in membership having-the second hig-h- est percentag-e of growth in the province. The Greenwood Hospital, It is hoped that the committee appointed by the city council will succeed ih making- some arrang-eirient whereby "���the Greenwood hospital can be kept open. If the miners and mine owners could be aroused to the absolute'necessity of having- an institution where the sick aud the injured will be properly cared for' the solution would be an easy one. Unfortunately however, the people most directly interested have become so accustomed to having- available the best means for the care of the sick that they do not appear to appreciate the importance of'the advantag-es bestowed upon them by Dr. Jake's enterprise. The closing- of the hospital would forcibly bring- their attention to the necessity for having- it opened but it would be . more' satisfactory if the people would do their duty without resorting- to such a drastic measure. We draw the reader's attention to Mr. Munns'letter. He speaks from experience in mining- districts in other countries. All the surveyors took a holida3r on Saturday last, and voted. Forbes M. Kerby came down from Welling-ton camp Frida3' evening- and went on to Midway, and ran opposition lines Saturday. Sydney M.

The first fatal accident in connection with the operation of Boundary Creek mines occurred at the Snowshoe, Greenwood camp on'Thursday mornings last, when Hugh O'Thomas was struck by an ore bucket which inflicted injuries so serious that he died four hours afterwards. About four o'clock in the morning" the bucket was sent up from the drift with about 40 pieces of steel. It had not traveled far when it became un- nobked and plung-ed down to the bottom of the shaft where the deceased and John Pritchard were at work. O'Thomas' was reaching- for his candle at the time and was struck on the head by the bucket. Pritchard escaped unhurt. '-''":'��� Dr. Foster was sent for and he attended to the injured man. He was joined by Dr. Jakes later but the medical men could do nothing- as the skull had been badly fractured near the base. Hug-h O'Thomas was about 29 years of ag-e. He was a native of North Wales and lived for some time at New Rockland, Quebec, where his parents still reside. He came to Boundary Creek from Rossland and worked at the Snowshoe about a month. The funeral took place on Friday from Gulley's undertaking- parlors and was largely attended, the members of the local Court of the I. O. F., turning- out iu a bod3', the deceased having been a Forester in good standing- in a court 'in Quebec. THE PENTICTON RAILWAY. The reports from Penticton are anything- but encouraging- to those who believed that the holders of the V. V. & F. charter were about to make a" bonafide effort to construct a railway from Penticton to Boundary Creek. Up to the present the preperations made were of the most farcical nature. A few men, a half a dozen horses and a couple of scrapers were sent to Penticton for the purpose of constructing 100.miles of railway. The object of these molest preparations were to influence the votes of the electors on the coast who aire anxious to secure direct communication with the Boundary Creek country. As distance lends enchantment, the credulous coasters were congratulating - themselves upon the fact that bonafide construction had been commenced at Penticton. The terms; under which the cash Ido- nusof $4,000 a mile is to be granted to this road, active and continuous con- tmous construction has to begin by August 1st next. But with the Turner government controlling the parliament of the province such terms did not alarm the shrewd railway men who have control of the V. V. & F: charter. They knew from the history of other B. C. railways that the surest way to secure further favors and concessions from the Turner g-overnment was by violating- the Acts of "the provincial parliament and disregarding the conditions imposed by Acts granting.railway subsidies. They knew that the non-observance of the conditions of the Ivoan Bill would be an inducement with the Turner government for granting an extension of time and additional subsidies. Now that the Turner government does not control the parliament of the province the railway promotors may find it expedient to increase their force at Penticton. They need not expect any extra consideration from the party that has just been victorious at the polls. The conditions imposed by railway acts must be observed and if the promotors of the V. V. & E). desire to earn their subsidy they must not disregard the conditions imposed by the Act under which the subsidy has been granted. The defeat of the Turner government makes probable the early construction of the Penticton railway. . J. F.

The meeting then adjourned to meet this evening at 8:30. THE SOUTH HALF. Since the south half of the Colville Indian reservation has been opened there has been a considerable exodus from Republic. The majority of the experts who have visited the new mining district consider it a most promising one. The formation is similar to the northern region and the ores are of the same general character. If is said that the ores yield better values than at Republic. The hills are steeper and loose stones make climbing difficult.' The rush has been principally directed towards the Sans Poil river. The district here has been called the Sans Poil mining district and its centre is about 25 miles from the town of Wilbur. The ore is generally galena but many of the properties are copper and gold. Several prospectors from Greenwood, are making a trip through thesouth half, among them being Otto Dillier. STAR LIARS IN THE WEST. Under the above caption, the pungent pen of John Ross Robertson of the Toronto Telegram pays the following compliment to the press of B. C. We are too modest to think that the Telegram included The Times in its list: "British Columbia decides the fate of the Turner government on Saturday. It will be a good day's work for the province and for the country generally if the people of British Columbia should rescue their affairs from the hands of the present administaation. " Whatever may be the result of the election, the end of the campaign must be truly welcome to all attentive readers of the British Columbia papers. The press of British Columbia is notably brilliant in spots, and generally deserves to rank among- the Cflories of our common country. It must be the mountains which stir the imagination, but esteemed western contemporaries have been hurling laminated rocks of falsehood at each other's heads, and a diligent perusal of the campaign lies leaves the eastern reader firm in the faith that both sides are sure to win next Saturday." pmmFmmtmiwmmLmmmm In connection with " THE TIMES" we have now one of the most conv plete !G OUTFITS I fL t in the interior of the Province, With I I '^IKsKH new power Presses, new Type, and a J i WBf i stock of modern Printers* Stationery/we j I W^ 2 are in a position to fill any orders for $ $S\ Job Printing %as reasonably, as satisfac torily, an$ as expeditiously as can be done in Spokane or on the coast, A merchant who uses " cheap and nasty " Stationery and Printing does his business a serious injury ������it is dear at a gift, Let us fill your next order for Letterheads, Billheads or Envelopes \ then compare our work and prices with others, We guarantee you satisfaction. s>-��-4*��>e*4e>a-<o>*-4a. f "���!��-���-����>*-���-�� ��>�������������������-���. ^V4, ^l'- &l'- iV* ->!���? ���?&' ifc ^A? oundary Creek Printing Publishing Co,* Ltd,/ GREENWOOD, B.C.

I: %���:���.'; THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, tsl ��� '. fe'. RAILWAY NOTES. B $������ 1/ ,.<r' �� '} m .Mr There are many conflicting rumors regarding the purchaser of the Spokane Falls &. Northern Railway Co. The latest is that "Jim" Hill is the purchaser and that the line will be operated by the Great Northern. Mr. Corbin himself is yery reticent about the subject. All that he admits is that the line has been sold and that he received a satisfactory figure for it. Whether the sale of the Corbin system will affect the railway situation in this district is a question of considerable doubt. That one of the American transcontineltal lines have secured the control of the system is certain. It is equally sure that the Boundary Creek trade is an incentive to any company building in here and that in all probability another effort will be made to secure the charter that was refused during the last session of the Dominion parliament. It is quite possible however, that the Great Northern or the company in control of the Corbin system will leave the C. P. R. in undisputed possession of Boundary Creek provided it secures from the C. P. R. similar concessions in some other part of the continent. " Mr. Corbin has decided to remain in Spokane. He has probably made a a few millions out of his railway venture. A special messenger arrived with dispatches for The Boundary Creek Times reached Greenwood late last ���night with the news that another bale of hay had been shipped from Vernon by the C. P. R. steamer Aberdeen, that the bale had been safely landed at cPenticton' and that it was to be used for the purpose of sustaining life in the horses which are being used in the active, bona fide and continuous construction of the Penticton-Boundary Creek railway. Good progress is being made on the Robson-Boundary Creek road. A large force of men are at work on the wagon road to Christina lake. This road goes through a very mountainous country and is difficult to build. When constructed men will be placed at Midway and other points in the Boundary Creek country. Mr. Rice and his party of surveyors are now camped on the North Fork. Another party of surveyors are near Christina "L/ake. ^Brooklyn is still growing and is today one of the liveliest towns in B. C. There are plenty of hotels and saloons and business men are establishing headquarters. There is a large pay roll as a great.many men are working on the long tunnel close to the city. Mr. W. F. Tye, chief engineer, has filed a plan of the survey of the road in the L/ands and Works department, Victoria. Wm. Winter and H. Booner, of the firm of Winter, Parsons & Boomer, railway, contractors, have brought their outfit over the Crow's Nest line, where they had a contract, and will begin work on the road between Robson and Midway.

Having only the most primitive apparatus for fighting fires the residents of Greenwood should lose no opportunity to lessen the chances of a conflaga- tion. A night watchman; always alert while on duty, is one of the best safeguards. To business men a good night watchman is well worth the amount necessary to secure his services. Businessmen and others should willingly pay for the services of such an officer. The greatest danger from fire is at night arid a watchman may be in a position to save thousands of dollars for a businessman. The city council should also contribute a share of his salary as the officer will be called upon to maintain order. A Bank For Greenwood. There is a rumor current that the Bank of British Columbia has decided to open a branch in Greenwood and that one of the buildings to be erected by F. S. Barnard will be used for that purpose. The Bank of Montreal for some, time contemplated opening a branch here but was awaiting the advent of a railway before taking definite steps. It is quite possible that should the rumor be correct with reference to the Bank of B. C. that the Bank of Montreal will carry out its intentions at an earlier date. The Bank of Montreal would have an advantage over its cbmpetitor since it already has business relationship with the merchants of the district through the Vernon branch. Up West Fork. Some rich strikes hove been made in the vicinity of the West Fork this summer. McBoyle who was prospecting for Messrs. Mortimer & McMann located a claim two miles above Beaver Creek. A sample assaj' from this claim gave $30.40 in gold. On Ball Creek towards Camp McKinney a prospector named Kelly located a claim from which has been taken some very rich looking specimens of free milling gold. RAILWAY.

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).

The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day. |
