Vol, V, GREENWOOD, .'EG, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1898, 113 No; 9 AT THE END OP TETHER. FTER reveling in the saturnalia of waste and mismanagement which has characterized the street work since its inception, the members of the municipal council awoke on Monday evening* to a realization of the fact that money secured by virtue of the street by-law had been all but expended and the work contemplated is anything but completed. The figures of the treasurer appeared to dumbfound the worthy aldermen, who evidently had been laboring under the impression that $13,000 odd dollars could not be expended,even by the system under which the street improvements were carried on. As the majority of the aldermen were anxious to attend the English church concert, the meeting was held at 7 o'clock. The concert apparently was an incentive to punctuality for a quorum was present at the time mentioned. Mayor Wood presided and Aid. Galloway, Paton and Phe- lan were present. Aid. Kerr who had been absent from the city reached the council chamber shortly after eight o'clock and Consequently was spared the agony of listening to the treasurer's tale of financial woe. J. Holmes who had been driving the team that, hauled\ the street cars, got mixed up in one of the numerous wrecks that lend excitement to the work of making the Government street cut and escaped with a badly damaged foot. Mr. Holmes claimed that he was injured while carrying out the instructions of the o superintendent and modestly asked for $30, two weeks'pay. The superintendent will be asked to report on the matter to the city solicitor who will advise the council regarding the proper course to pursue. Then the council were startled by numerous and heavy bills for the care of a man who had been working on the street and who fell ill without having the necessary means to pay for attendance. First Dr. Foster presented a bill for $40 for professional services ; then J. Moore wanted $42.50 for nursing the man for 17 days. The Commercial Hotel asked for $69 for the patient's and nurse's board, and Miller Bros, asked for $8.90 for drugs, making a grand total of $160.40. Aid. Galloway didn't believe in paying these accounts without a rigid inquiry. He moved to refer them back to the finance committee and this course was adopted. Accounts from other sources were also turned over to the finance committee for inspection. After these accounts had been disposed of, Mr. Geo. R. Naden, the city treasurer, made his appearance. He was armed with a formidable array of figures and at the request of the council, he told a very interesting though disappointing story regarding the expenditure of money borrowed for street improvements. Mr. Naden informed the council that after discounts, exchange and incidentals had been accounted for the street loan netted $12,700. Of that amount $10,531.47 had been expended up to Oct. 27, leaving at that date a balance of $2,169.53. Since then men had been employed, nails had been purchased f. o. b. Rossland for $149.- 20 ; bills from the Russell Hardware Company and D. Mc- Duff aggregating over $100 had to be paid and the council had contracted for 100,000 feet of lumber at cost of $1,500 ; of this over $1,000 was for sidewalks. Taking these accounts into consideration but ver\r little money would be left from the street loan. The announcement was a startling one but after studying the matter for a short time, the brillant suggestion was offered that Peter should be robbed to pay Paul by a new system of bookkeeping. The suggestion involved the misappropriation of monejr from the waterworks loan for street improvement purposes. Whether the council would have disregarded the clauses of the Municipal Clauses Act to adopt the suggestion must remain an undecided question because the careful treasurer quietly informed the council that in this instance Peter was almost as poor as Paul and after allowances were made for debts already contracted there would be only about $1,900 left, not more than enough to dig trenches and lay the pipe. The city solicitor then came to the rescue of the council with a section which had been excavated from ari obscure corner of the Municipal Clauses Act. This action gives- authority to the council to borrow the difference between the sum mentioned in the loan and the amount realized by the sale of the debentures. This amount may be borrowed without the consent of the electors. Mr. Black was instructed to telegraph Mr. Hogg with, a view to securing this additional amount. The city engineer was also instructed to prepare an estimate of the; cost of the uncompleted work and if the council can secure the additional $2,500 referred to, an effort will be made to complete work now underway. . The city solictor informed the council that they' had no authority to appropriate money for school purposes. The trustees will be furnished with this information. This completed the programme for the evening's entertainment and at 8:05 o'clock the members of the council were hastening- to seek consolation at the English church social. . '���' i��/5- ' ��sfe ' ..its. ''& ?'& ���>!$ ��� THE TREASURER'S DUTY. In the absence of a city auditor the citizens of Greenwood look to the treasurer to protect their interests. The treasurer's personal interests in the city are so important that he can very readily afford to antagonize the council in the performance of his duty. The suggestion made on Monday night that money should be taken from the Waterworks I/oan for street purposes was a very improper and alarming suggestion to offer. The fact that the streets have not been graded up to that point outlined in the engineer's first estimate, is not a serious matter ; it is a serious- matter that the council or any member thereof should even suggest the robbing of the Waterworks Loan for street purposes. It is of the highest importance that the system of waterworks should be the very best. People care but little to see every street in Greenwood perfectly level, but they are exceedingly anxious that they should have a water system that will give them the very best protection against fire. Every dollar available from the Waterworks L>oan is- urgently needed for that purpose and no other ; indeed, if there were a few thousand more dollars available there would not be too much for a good dam, a sufficiently large- reservoir, and for the necessary pipe, hose, etc. Under the circumstances the treasurer should refuse to honor any order, or pay one dollar, that has for its object the misappropriation of the Waterworks Loan. The law and public opinion will back him up in thus safeguarding - the most important interests of the city. At this juncture we feel sure that the citizens will be interested in again reading the engineer's estimate of what ought to have been done with the money borrowed for street purposes : Estimate of the Cost of Street Gnawing and Sidewalks, Gkeenwood, B.C. : Sold Street,'grading-, S500.

"ISO*1 ^mmmmmmmmwflwjmrommn^ WILL EXPERIENCE TEACH? During his recent trip oyer the lines of the C.P.R., President Van Home made a persistent effort to enlist the co-operation of the boards of trade, in his second'attempt to shut the Corbin railway out of the Boundary Creek district. I^ast year, when the Corbin charter was before parliament, this trick was successfully worked in Vancouver and Victoria. The merchants of these cities, while enjoying the benefits of the competition of American transportation companies themselves, -denounced as traitors to the Dominion all who contended for the same advantages for Boundary Creek. As there is reason to believe that the Vancouver and Victoria boards of trade will this winter repeat their protests against ihe granting of the Corbin charter, the press and boards of trade south Koo- ��enay and Yale should give them warning that any such action will be resented. . . There.was.a time when, the stores of Nelson advertised the fact that they handled no goods from the coast. If coast merchants do* not wish to see these advertisements multiplied and spread through southern Kootenay and Yale, they will think twice before becoming a party to any conspiracy by -which, in return for concessions to themselves, they deliver the mining and commercial interests of Boundary Creek over to the monopoly of the C.P.R.��� Nelson Tribune. A. S. Black returned last week from a visit to Nelson.

Another special meeting of the city council was held on Thursday evening when it was decided to make the attempt to borrow $10,000 by by-law. All the members of'the council were present excepting Aid. Barrett. Mr. Shaw the city engineer estimated that it would cost over $5,000 to complete the work now under way without breaking any ,new ground. Some of the aldermen objected to going on a personal joint note to secure money immediately. Aid. Phelan believed that all the money on hand should now be expended on waterworks and let the streets go until more money could be procured. Aid. Parry endorsed this view. Aid. Paton said that it was useless to disguise the fact that people were dissatisfied and may not pass another by-law. Aid. Galloway had plenty of faith in the people. They wouldn't want the streets left in an unfinished state. He thought the city got fair value for the money spent. After further discussion Aid. Kerr gave notice that at the next meeting of the council he will introduce a by-law to raise a futher sum of $10,000 for street purposes. The shaft on the Pheasant in Greenwood camp is now down 21 feet. There is a nice showing of ore at the bottom indicating that a body of considerable dimensions has been reached. Work on this claim will be recontinued shortljr. , On the adjoining claim, the King of the Hills, Messrs. Tholl and Brown are running a tunnel on what - appears to be the lead lately struck on the Pheasant���though this is uncer*- tain. It is their intention to work all winter. Development on these claims will go far to prove if the large ore deposits on the Snowshoe and Rawhide extend in a north-easterly direction or not.

They have come with a view of establishing- a newspaper and prin ting office. Already their building is under construction which is on Main avenue opposite the Townsite Co's. office and from the rep- ���v utation of these gentlemen we would .Uij ' judge that Cascade will be able to boast of one of the newsiest sheets in -the Boundary Creek country. The name will be the Cascade City Record. It is rumored that another paper called the Cascade City Searchlight is to be established here shortly under the management of Messrs. ' Nisbet & Sanders of Kaslo. ' A. C. Williams is putting up a stable near the Customs House. Mr. Williams has established a daily stage line between here and Grand Forks and it is his intention later to run twice a ���day to Grand Forks with a daily to Bossburg. Messrs. Wallace & Miller have opened a clothing and gents' furnishing store in Ira Black's new building. Another wholesale liquor house will be opened here by Gagner and Roy. -Contractors report that there is a great scarcity of brick. There is an abundant quantity of good clay in this vicinity and there is no reason why this would not be a great location for a brick yard. Mr. H. L,. Moody the owner of the new townsite, Christina j at the foot of , the lake, came back from Rossland where he had gone to put his lots on the market. Mr. Moody reports that a general store will be opened by Stewart & Semple at Christina, and that the Moody hotel is nearly completed. Captain Richtie is putting up a hotel on Second Avenue. W. M. Wolverton of the Pioneer store is erecting a warehouse. William Forrest of Gladstone was here last Sunday and reports that the ��� owners of the John Bull have made a deal with an eastern syndicate whereby the owners of that property will give Yi interest for $30,000 development work. Messrs. Bowness and W. W. Welsher are registered at the International hotel. These gentlemen hail from England and both have had a very varied and extensive experience in mining in South Africa and Australia. Since their arrival in Greenwood they have visited the Republic group, Mother Ivode, B. C, Ironsides, Knob Hill and several other properties and are more than assured that the mining industry in this district has an extremely bright future before it., Tb^ propose staying a considerable -time in this section.

The Toronto Globe had a strong editorial in favor of the road and other eastern newspapers are taking up the matter. On the coast there is a general feeling that it would be a mistake to allow the passage of similar resolutions to those of the Board of Trade of last year. Mr. A. G. McCandless, a prominent Victoria merchant, voices views of most of the business men in a letter which appeared in the Times a few days ago. Mr. McCandless saj'S : , "To the Editor:���Now that the citizens are awake to their interests in municipal matters, let them also consider something equally important, that is railway connection with the mainland. When I say the mainland I do not refer to British Columbia only. When will Victorians realize the fact that the}' have nothing to expect from the C.P.R. but opposition, and opposition of the worst kind? While professing a friendly feeling for Victoria the C.P.R. are doiiiir everything in their power to injtire us. And whj' not? Their interests are centered in Vancouver. A by-law exempting them from taxation has just been passed in that city. When Mr. Van Home was in Victoria recently he thanked the people for fighting the battles of the C.P.R. in opposing Corbin's scheme to give Victoria railway connection with the Boundary country. Mr. Corbin in tends to make another application for this charter at no distant date; and when that time comes Victorians /must, be on their guard to see that no resolutions are passed either by the board of trade (of which I am a member) or by the legislature opposing Mr. Corbin. I say any Victorian who will vote to prevent Mr. Corbin or any other American from obtaining a charter which will give us direct communication with the Boundary country, independent of the C.P.R., is either a traitor to Victoria's interests or does not understand what he is doing." ( The Marguerite. E-C. Brown has been.doing considerable work on the Marguerite during the past summer and has secured some very high assaj's from the property. The Marguerite is situated in Providence camp and is owned by Mr.Brown, J., P. Harland and Dr. McMartin of New York. Dr. McMartin is expected here in a few days to examine the property and in all probability extensive development work w*ill be carried on after his visit. A shaft has been sunk on the property to a depth of 40 feet. At the bottom of this shaft a 20 foot ore body has been, crosscut. From the ledge $33.08 and $25.68 have been secured in all values. , The ore carries copper and gold and small silver values. There is now no hotel open at Oso- yoos. This is a great inconvenience to the public. As the government office for the district is still at Osooyos many people have to go there on business. Those from this section, consequently, have to stay overnight at Anarchist mountain, or wherever they can get accommodation,���in all cases many miles distant from Osoyoos.Q It will be a godsend to the public when the government office is removed from there. One of the old landmarks, of Boundary Creek was removed when Andy Symond's old cabin was taken away to make place for the Naden-Flood block on Copper street. This was one of the oldest, if not the first, of the buildings where Greenwood now stands. THE CANADIAN Head Office - - - TORONTO. Established 1867. CAPITAL : : $6,000,000.

In attempting- to float, a $10,000 loan for street purposes, the city council is either wilfully or innocently providing" themselves with a stalking-horse behind wnich""TheY^h^e to plunder the balance of the waterworks loan for street purposes. When the method of -spending- the present street loan is considered, there can scarcely be a member of the council credulous enough to believe that the property owners are g-oirig to endorse waste and mismanagement bjT passing another loan. Even if the propertj' owners 'were foolish enough to do so, does any alderman believe that they will be able to carry on street improvements when the money is obtained. .Taking the most hopeful view of the matter, it will be December before the council is in a position to borrow money. Iri Decernber last 3rear there were three feet of snow in Greenwood and the thermometer went down 20 degrees below zero. Does the council suppose that Providence is so enamored with the street work in Greenwood that He will provide better weather this year than any other year ? The only leg-al course, the only honest course to pursue was that suggested by Aid. Phelan and endorsed by Aid. Parry. The money now available should be spent in waterworks and for no other purpose. The Greenwood council has received no special dispensation to disregard every clause of the municipal act and administer municipal affairs in an illegal manner. Elsewhere we have urged the treasurer to refuse to pay any money expended illegally and Thursday night's special meeting of the council forces us to renew that request. The council should have remembered the old adage that it is good policy to let sleeping- dogs'lie. As it is they inadvertently acted in the public interest by arousing- the people to the importance of taking a greater interest in municipal affairs. The mayor has been petitioned to call a public meeting this' (Friday) evening when the council will doubtless be told some very unpalatable truths. ��� Reliance Loan Association. The following-is the local board of -directors of the Reliance Loan Association, whose representative, R. Masson Smith, of Winnipeg-, visited Greenwood this week : Robert Wood, president ; Thos. J. Hard}', vice-president; C. M. Shaw, C.E., G. Arthur Rendell, L. S. Moulton-Barrett, A. H. Sperry ; I.'-H. Hallett, solicitor ; R. F. Coates, valuator; W. JB. Paton, agent. The two Italians arrested by Chief of Police Ta3rlor last week were sentenced by Police Magistrate Hallett. The man who shot at the street men and who had a loaded revolver in his possession g-ot five months' imprisonment. He was taken to Kamloops by Officer Gardom together with some prisoners from Grand Forks. The other Italian will saw wood for the city for a month. The machinery is being placed in position on the Brooktyn. It is the intention of Mackenzie, Mann & Co. to continue sinking-on the propert}' in order that Mr. Robbins, their expert who is at present on the ground, may fully determine the extent and quality of the ore body.

Mr. Scott is at present with the Fernie branch. The Canadian Bank of Commerce has four branches in B.C. ; these are at Vancouver, Cran- brbok, Fernie and Greenwood. Fernie is the coal town of the Crow's Nest. The Crow's, Nest Coal Company are operating- here. Senator Cox, who is president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, is one of the heaviest shareholders in the Coal company. The bank has 47 branches in the east and their own agents in New York. Work is now being done to secure a crown grant for the Bullion in Greenwood camp. This claim adjoins the New York and is owned by G. W. Mc- Mynn, F. M. Kerby and Stuart Bros. The last work done has shown up a good lead of ore, on a contact of lime and diorite.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. nE-HEnanmBaoaaDar BANKING EXCITEMENT; Two Chartered Banks Opened Branches in Greenwood on the Same Day, An Exciting Race for the Business of Greenwood and Boundary Creek, The business men of Greenwood re**- ceived a severe but pleasant shock as the}'-came from their homes to their places of business on Wednesday morning-. On Tuesday night, the affable cashier for the Bealey Investment & Trust Company carried all the responsibility for the cashing- of cheques, the discounting- of notes and other documents representing- the convenient article of money as far as the business of Greenwood and Boundary Creek was concerned. On Wednesday morning- the Bank of British North America had a hastily prepared sig-n stretched across the L,e Plant building- on Copper street���a sig-n which announced in brief terms that this strong financial institution was ready to do business in Greenwood. Around the corner on Greenwood street, the Cosmopolitan restaurant building was also decorated with a similar sign. It told the surprised residents of the city that the Bank of Commerce was doing business. The Bank of British North America officials had been in the city for a few days and most of the people knew that they were sizing up the situation but few expected that they would open a branch for some time. The Bank qf Commerce people did not arrive until Tuesday afternoon and scarcely any one knew they were in the city until they saw the sign on Wednesday morning. They went to work immediately upon their arrival, secured a building and were doing business sixteen hours after their arrival in the city. When it is considered that both institutions are backed by millions of paid up capital and take a leading place among unbreakable chartered banks of Canada, their Greenwood offices on the day of opening were amusingly plain as far as their interior fittings went. A Times representative, as he wended his way to breakfast early Wednesday morning was astonished to see Mr. W. Godfrey, manager of the Vancouver branch of the Bank of British North America, cashing a cheque on the billiard table in the Leplante building, receiving- money on deposit, and opening accounts with merchants. He appeared to enjoy it too because it is not the first time he figured in an exciting bank opening. The Bank of Commerce had equally crude arrangements. The tables upon which "Danny" Hicks had placed delectable morsels to whet the appetites of his patrons has been shifted to make a counter and behind this Mr. Scott was doing business. The incidents leading up to such an unusual excitement in the town of ' Greenwood are not many but they are interesting in the extreme. '<��� On Sunday evening Mr. W. Godfrey, the Vancouver manager of the Bank of British North America, and Mr. W. T. Oliver, manager of the Rossland branch of the same institution, came over from Rossland. They were accompanied by Mr. James Martin, M. P. P. They lost no time in making themselves acquainted with the business men and after visiting some of the mining properties at ' once appreciated the advantages Greenwood offered as a banking centre. Mr. Godfrey placed himself in telegraphic communication with the directors and soon received a favorable reply in reference to the opening of a branch. He and Mr. Oliver were quietly making arrangements to open up in a few days but intended to furnish the building with the usual elaborate bank fittings. On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. H. H. Morris, manager of the Vancouver branch of the Bank of Commerce, and Mr. Scott, the manager of the Fernie branch, arrived in the city. They rented the Cosmopolitan restaurant building and were making preparations on Tuesdav- night to open Wednesday morning. Mr. Godfrey at once began to enjoy himself. He is a veteran at such business and before eight o'clock Wednesday morning he had a corps of carpenters at work while the announcement was made that they were ready for business. The Bank of British North America has enjoyed a few of those thrilling episodes in the usually quiet banking circles. Some few years ago, other banking institutions announced with a flourish of trumpets that they would open branches in Rossland on certain dates. The Bank of British North America said nothing. They quietly sent a man to Rossland, who hung a shingle from a barber shop, and was" ready for business. He had a few dollars in his 'pocket but fortunately his first client was a prominent Rossland businessman who opened an account and made a substantial deposit. That day thousands of dollars came pouring in and the accountant slept for three nig-hts on a large amount of inone3r, awaiting-the arrival of a safe. The Bank of British North America got the best business in Rossland before the other banks opened in elaborately fitted offices. The Bank of British North America and the Bank of Commerce had an exciting race for Dawson City but the Bank of British North America won by about two weeks. The race in Greenwood was a dead heat,, neither having any advantages. The fact that two chartered banks have opened branches in Greenwood in preference to any other point in the district is rather an- insurmountable argument in favor of the now generally recognized fact that Greenwood is, by long odds the most important business center in the district. The banks will not only place the town on a surer footing but will also greatly facilitate the transaction of business particularly in relation to the mining industry and the carrying out of mining deals. There are now two chartered banks doing btisiness in Greenwood. There are none in Grand Forks. The following telegrahed from the latter point to the Rossland Miner consequently will be greatly appreciated : Grand Forks, Oct. 27.���[Special.] ���A. M. Knee, a banker from the Slo- can country, arrived in this city yesterday from Greenwood, having gone to that town with a view of starting there. He is, however, of the opinion that Grand Forks will niake the best business center,, and has accordingly purchased ' a lot on Bridge street and will open a bank at once.

A special meeting of the city council was held at Aid. Barrett's residence on Tuesday evening. The object of the meeting was to discuss ways and means to finish the street work. Mr. Naden, the treasurer, was present and informed the council that counting wages and everything up to Tuesday evening a balance of $1,559.98 was left from both the street and waterworks loans. It was decided to discharge all the men excepting sufficient' to work the cars. Mr. Godfrey of the Bank of British North America was present at the request of the council. . He advised them that the bank would be willing to advance any money on the joint note of mayor and aldermen until such time as they could dispose of the additional debentures to be issued. The suggestion was made to sellthe rails used in the tramway after the' Government street cut is excavated. In the event of Mr. Hogg not caring to purchase additional debentures it is probable that the council will borrow $2,500 from the bank. Every one in Boundary Creek district will regret to learn that Dr. Jakes is seriously ill. Ivong trips and up day and night attending to the sick at last proved too much for his constitution and he was reluctantly forced to give up. He is suffering from congestion of the lungs and.fever. Dr. Westwood of Grand Forks is attending to Dr. Jakes and his patients. When the doer tor recovers he intends taking- a length}'- vacation and will probabl}r go south for the winter.

JAMES a SWORD, Manager, Branch Office, ROSSLAND, B, G THE TOWN OF CAVITE. Most people of Boundary Creek will remember J. P. Harlan. Until a few months ago, he was a popular assayer in Greenwood when he caught the war fever which was then raging in his native land. He hurried to Spokane and on to San Francisco. He succeeded in enlisting in a Dakota regiment which was sent to 1 he Phillipine Islands. They arrived there in time to be too late to take a hand in the capture of Manilla and Mr. Harlan had not when last heard from an opportunity of displaying his valor in the cause of Uncle Sam. He sends a long letter to his uncle, E. C. Brown, of Greenwood and the following extracts will probably be read with considerable interest by his many friends. Mr. Harlan writes from the town of Cavite under date pf September 9th, and says : , " This is a bright, sunny morning in the dingy dilapidated town of Cavite. We are quartered in an old Catholic monastery founded by the Dominican friars in the year 1643. The monastery has been an imposing structure, well built and still well preserved ; but time and neglect have had their potent influences and the building- looks as if it had seen troublesome times. The walls are thick and strong, built of red brick and cement. The building is full two storeys high. The roof is made of red tiles laid in corrug-atibns. The outside walls were well plastered and whitened but they are now mossg-rown or crumbling away. The architectural design and the ornamental furnishings are peculiarly- attractive. The chapel is the larger part of the structure. On the exterior at the main entrance are colonnades with small niches containing carved images. The interior of the chapel is over 150 feet in length and is in the form of a cross. The ceiling- is arched and at the intersection of the cross is an arched dome. , The height of the chapel proper is greater than that of the walls, as the arched ceiliru>- extends into the irable. All the wood finishing is native mahogany. The beams are artistically hand carved. On the sides are alcoves holding-sculptured images of saints and madonnas. In the Moor at ..many different points are marble slabs engraved with names of the honored dead. The bones are in small tin, boxes beneath these slabs. The altar was a beautiful and expensive piece of workmanship. A large pipe organ in/the balcony completed the interior furnishing. The building at one time presented an imposing appearance but poverty, neglect and the ravages of war have succeeded in mutilating it to such an extent that it is to-day but a sad reminder of its once gorgeous splendor. It has been stripped of almost everything movable. The insurgents are responsible for the greater portion of the havoc but since we landed here the soldiers are fast demolishing the remaining portions and are using everything burnable for firewood. Wood in this vicinity is a rare article. I am now writing on a pan el-of a confessional box. A soldier knocked it to pieces. I succeeded in rescuing a panel which makes a very servicable writing desk. It is an exceptionally fine piece of mahogany. We sleep in the halls and rooms next to the chapel. This portion of the structure was built in a hollow square. The large open court is now our kitchen. The chapel has been converted into the commissaries' department, a portion having been set apart for the use of the band. What a use for such a historical building ! But rumor has it that heretofore the highly decorated walls of this stately building have not always been ,. witnesses of holy scenes. Some Americans have failed to treat the structure with reverence and have even broken into the tombs. Cavite itself is not a place that an American would choose as an ideal summer resort. Yet its very quaint- ness attracts interest. It possessed a military grandeur at one time. The fort and barracks must have had a formidable and imposing- appearance; but they too have suffered from sad neglect. The town is adjacent to the fort. It was until recentl3r occupied by-the Spaniards but the native insurgents are now in possession. The streets are very narrow and irregular; All the houses are two storej-'s. The ground floors are stores and the upper floors dwellings. The windows are a combination of latticed work surrounding- transparent shells cut about four inches square. They do not allow the same amount of light that glass does. The stores are not like anything an American has been accustomed to. A great variety of fruits appear to be the principal commodity. The trading- places are more like close booths in a market place. In addition to the numerous tradesmen who do business under cover, the streets are lined with fruit venders. They carry their baskets or sit on the narrow walks and sell to the soldiers. There are no street cars in Cavite. Most goods are carried on the head but a small Chinese pony, no larger than a Shetland pony does duty in conveying people from place to place. He is hitched to a two wheeled cart, higher than himself. Four men and a native driver get into this vehicle. The pony gallops all over town with his load and apparently never tires or sweats about it. Heavy merchandise is drawn by water buffaloes. They are very docile. They are hitched to a two wheeled dray and haul heavy loads. They must be allowed to go into the water very often or they become weak." [Mr. Harland makes some very interesting observations concerning Manilla which will be published in the next -Ed.] issue. CORRESPONDENCE. The Boundary Creek Times publishes communications on matters of public. interestr but disclaims aii3r- responsibility for the opinions expressed" in this column. Greenwood, Oct. 28th. To the Editor : May I ask through the medium of your valuable paper, ''Who is looking after our sanitary affairs ?" Surely at a time when nearly everybody is feeling sick we cannot be too careful. When we come to consider the variety of uses our drinking water is put to, it is a wonder everybody is not down with fever. To-night, on Government street just at dusk, a Chinaman was busy washing out cuspidors ; and only a few weeks ago, on Copper street, in the middle of the day, another Chinaman was busy using- Twin creek for a worse purpose. Now these Chinamen are employed by white people. I am inclined to ask, What is the difference ? Surely our authorities ought to keep a strict watch on this sort of thing. Fred. B. Holmes.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1898-11-05 |
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). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day. |
