GREENWOOD CITY, B,C��� SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1897, 52 3 No, 26, �� l:X MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. HI} first election in the city of Greenwood has been fought and the people have settled down ~^to the humdrum of everyday life. The fight was not a very heated one and engendered no ill-feeling-. The only meeting- of the short campaign was that held in1 Rendell & Co. 's hall on Friday evening-, when a large audience listened to addresses from the Mayor-elect, candidates for aldermen and others. Duncan Ross was voted to the chair. His Worship the Mayor, who was called upon for an address, said that as the meeting had been convened for the purpose of hearing- the views on municipal affairs of the candidates for the office of aldermen, he had come to hear rather than to speak. He would, however, take that opportunity of thanking- the electors of Greenwood for the honor they had done him in electing him without opposition their first mayor and for the many congratulations and kindly expressions of their goodwill he had received since his election. Coming to the business for which they had met, he referred to the importance that attaches to the position of a member of the municipal council. There exists the necessity for strict economy in connection with the affairs of the city, but he'hoped that all would work together in that unity which is essential to success in their efforts. Mr. C. Scott Galloway, the first candidate to address the meeting, said that they would have to carry out the business of the city in a straightforward, economical^and energetic way. There were several questions they would have to deal with, one of the most important being that of water supply, both for fire protection and domestic purposes. This would, however, be better discussed in council than in public meeting. With regard to street improvements, whilst something is required to be done now to the streets, he thought their permanent improvement would have to be left to the next council, which will take office early in 1898. The biggest and most important matter to decide was how to get money to spend on the city. So far as he knew, Greenwood as yet has no power to borrow money. He was not aware how far the government controls their actions in this matter. The question was one to be dealt with by the council, but he thought little could be done during the current year. c Mr. J. Hamill thought the question of water supply should be discussed publicly. The matter would have to be very carefully dealt with, ways and means being fully considered before taking action. Dealing with the probable revenue the city would receive for a time, he gave figures which showed the position approximately. They could not at first expect to have a margin left above running.expenses. He referred to the difficulty a mining town, no matter how good its prospects, usually experiences in borrowing money. He would be guided in this matter by the wishes of the ratepayers ; if a majority of them favored borrowing he would support it but not otherwise. As to improvements he favored spending the revenue derived from taxes in different parts of the city as near proportionately to what they contribute as possible. They were fortunate in being for the present relieved by the provincial government of the necessity for providing police protection for the city. He would like to allow taxes and license fees to remain much as they now are, and to ascertain the wishes of the rate-payers in the matter of borrowing money for public improvements. As far as possible he would like to avoid going into debt and would keep out of wild schemes of all kinds. The coun cil would be able to use its influence for good in advancing the interests of the district, especially in connection with roads and railways, and in bringing before the outside world the importance and value of the mineral resources of Boundary Creek. Mr. Leonard S. Moulton Barrett agreed with much that, Mr. Hamill had said. He would endeavor to keep down taxation, and thought that whatever public improvements were made should be permanent ; would largely favor con-' centratirig their efforts in improving the part of the city already populated ;������ and thought it early yet to introduce a system of waterworks. Mr. Archie McKenzie after pointing out the importance of municipal affairs, expressed himself in favor of taxing more heavily than residents absentee land owners who had bought town lots for speculative purposes and who contributed little or nothing to the cost of public improvements. He would take the sense of the ratepayers respecting water- , works, and discuss it with them how best to raise money for carrying put such a scheme. He had nothing to add to what previous speakers had said about public improvements which he would like to see carried out to such an extents as . was practicable, having regard to their limited resources. Mr. M. J. Phelan considered the most important question (was whether the city should borrow money or not. While opposed to running the city hopelessly into debt he favored borrowing money enough to bring in water for protection against fire, but not for a house to house supply. He deprecated local sectionalism and said that he would vote for expending money wherever necessary in the town, and like many others he had come to Greenwood to make his home and he had every confidence in its future. If all worked in harmony the3r would make it one of the finest provincial towns in B. C. He would support in engaging a competent engineer to furnish complete estimates of the cost of the proposed waterworks,; then let the council estimate the probable revenue, and if it could be shown that the scheme was feasible and they would not throw the city back financially, he would support it. The increased population they would gain ere long would assist in paying the interest on a loan. He was sure the townsite owners would do their share. ��� Mr. J. W.'Powell would not favor borrowing money. He thought the proposed waterworks unnecessary at present. He had not found difficulty in insuring his buildings against fire and for the present he could get water from Boundary Creek. He was willing to be as liberal as any one, but he thought the town too young to get into debt. Once in debt it would be a hard job to get out of it. Mr. G. A. Rendell had always been confident Greenwood would be a good town. While he fully realized the necessity for water supply for fire protection purposes, he was not yet in a position to express an opinion as to whether they could carry out the projected scheme. For the time the council will have all it can do to pass by-laws and other necessary preliminary- work. For his part he had always done all in his power for the benefit of the town and he would continue to do so. The mayor here stated that he wished it to be understood that he intended to go for all he is worth to build up the town, which he wanted to see go ahead. The council could go into the question of public works, figure out their cost and then if they found themselves able to undertake them, to carry them out in a business like way. Excellent short speeches were made by Messrs. 3��. Jacobs, C. J. McArthur, G. R. Naden, I. H. Hallett, Thos. Miller, Mr. Blizzard and others, but lack of space prevents their remarks being reported. THE EJECTION. Prompt!}r at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning Returning Officer A. S. Black opened the polling booth and Mr. -\T' rr L ��Wk.V THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. Ralph Smailes polled the first vote. Up until four in the afternoon when the polls were closed, the majority of, the electors came voluntarily to the polls, none of the candidates putting forth any great effort to secure votes. The register of votes showed that there were in Greenwood 99 men qualified to exercise their franchise at the first municipal election and of this number 87 voted. the result. At four o'clock the polls were closed and G. A. Guess and Duncan Ross were appointed scrutineers. The ballot papers as they first came out of the box would indicate that Mr. Barrett was going to head the poll but he gave place,to Messrs. Hamill, McKenzie and Rendell. These three kept pace with each other until the last when Mr. Hamill secured the advantage and headed the list with a vote of 71. For him also was intended the only ballot of the 87 that was considered spoilt, the elector marking a cross over the name instead of in the space on the side. The result was as follows, the first- six being those eletced : John Hamill.. R'l .......71 Georg-e Arthur Rendell 67 Archie C. McKenzie..... .......... ...............60 L-. M. Moulton Barrett........... ... . 57 M. J. Phelan... .....50 C. Scott Gallowaj'....:... .. . 43 Cyril J. Bales.. 37 J. William Powell! .......19 The result appeared to give general satisfaction, for the friends of both the victors and the vanquished joined in the celebration which followed. A POLITICAL SCHEME. If those who ought to know are correct in their opinions, the provincial government have succeeded iri inducing a wealthy corporation in the city of Victoria to invest some of its money in up country newspapers. The Kam- loops Standard which boasts that the provincial government is a conservative one ; the recent purchase of the Rossland Miner ; the establishment of a new paper at Nelson and sundry changes that have been made in connection with other Kootenay newspapers, are said to be results of this scheme. It will be remembered that previous to the last election Hon. Theo. Davie, now Chief Justice, dropped considerable money in buying provincial papers. The present government are more fortunate if they have succeeded in inducing millionaires to put up'the cash. More Building. In addition to the building already mentioned in another column of The Times, Messrs. Olson & Phelan have, decided to erect a large warehouse at the rear of their store. They are receiving- some heavy shipments and must secure more space. The Greenwood Mercantile Co. will also do some building. It is their intention to erect a stone foundation under their block, giving- them larger space for their goods. The contract for this work has not yet been awarded but probably will in a few days. While Boundary Creek is a mining district, the soil is very productive and with irrigation produces some remarkable roots and vegetables. At Boundary Creek City they are enjoying strawberry shortcake, the strawberries being the second crop this year. Mrs. Holbrook of the Providence hotel picked several pints this week.

The Nelson Tribune, in referring- to Hon. G. B. Martin's speech at Grand Forks, very clearly points out that the Chief Commissioner's remarks placed the government in a peculiar position. When the famous railway bill was introduced, the government, vehemently denied that the subsidy from Penticton to Boundary Creek was intended for Mr;. He in ze. After quoting- the Chief Commissioner's remarks, the Tribune says : ��� . v ... " If G. B." Martin was truthful he would have stated that when the premier announced his railway policy he had not sufficient courage to say whether or not F. Aug-. Heinze would be allowed to retain both the land subsidy and the cash subsidy. He could have informed the people of Grand Forks that the legislature had no confidence in the government in its dealings with F. Aug. Heinze, and that for this reason the majority in the legislature voted for the amendment moved by Mr. Graham. In making the statement which he did at Grand Forks G. B. Martin has put premier Turner in a bad position. He says in short, that it was the government's policy that Heinze should have both land and cash subsidies. He further says that the legislature rejected^ the government's policy. If this were so why did not premier Turner resign?" ', No objection can be taken to the Tribune's observations except its acceptance of Mr. Martin's error that it was Mr. Graham who moved the amendment. As we pointed out before, the amendment was moved by Mr. Sword. Money Must be Borrowed. But little fault, could be, found with the argument used by a number of speakers at the public meeting to the effect that the city should borrow no money, provided ,such a course were practicable. Under present conditions however, it is simply impossible to conduct municipal affairs unless money is borrowed on the credit of the city. According to the Speedy Incorporation Act under which Greenwood was incorporated the council may levy and collect a road tax for the whole year, 1897, in the same manner and to the same extent as if the Corporation had existed from the first of January 1897. The g-overnment may return to the city a rateable part of the real estate tax collected upon property within the city limits but even with those very indefinite plans of securing money, the city will not have sufficient funds for ordinary current expenses. Licenses heretofore issued shall be valid until expiration of the period named in the same, so no revenue except from new licenses can be expected from this source. The aldermen should at once realize the fact that municipal government cannot be carried on without funds and one of the first acts of the council should be the passage of a by-law to borrow money. There is considerable red-tape connected with money by-laws so that if action is taken at once, it will be nearly three months before the city is in a position to go into the money market to borrow. The Railway; The report that Heinze surveyors are in the field and are determined to complete the work of surveying the line of railway between Trail and Penticton within the next three months will prove welcome news to the people of Boundary Creek. A survey is far short of a railway but it is a beginning and it probably means that Vice-president Shaughnessy of the C. P. R., and Mr. Heinze made some arrangements during the former's recent visit in Kootenay. Mr. Shaughnessy in an interview than said that in a few weeks the people would know that the C. P. R. appreciated the importance of the Boundary Creek district, and probably that knowledge is to be gleaned through the actions of Mr. Heinze. Further particulars regarding the movements of the railway magnates will be awaited with interest. The people of this district have nec- essaril}'- their preferences regarding- where a railway comes from and who will build it but after all the great desideratum is a railway arid they will welcome one from any quarter. The C. P. R. and Boundary Creek; Vice-President Shaughnessy was interviewed upon his arrival at Vancouv- and said among other matters that he is confident that in the E}ast and West Kootenay and the Boundary Creek section of the Yale district, British Columbia in its southern possessions has an inheritance which will yet rival the greatest bullion yielding countries of the world. You can say, said Mr. Shaughnessy, that ..the Canadian Pacific Railway will do all in its power to aid in every way the efforts of the miners, the prospectors and the traders of Kootenay in general to make it the richest and most prosperous section of Canada in the great west. Asked as to his views concerning the probability of railway construction west of the Columbia river in the direction of Boundary Creek and Penticton, Mr. Shaughnessy observed that the subject was an important one, and was. now receiving the attention of the executive at Montreal. The necessity for such an outlet as Boundary Creek was demanding had forced itself upon the Federal and the Provincial Government as well as his company, and such action would be taken at an early date as would result in the carrying of a line of railway west from the Columbia river. DISTRICT NEWS. J. W. McFarland left for the coast on Saturday last. - Trios. Walsh left on Wednesday on a business trip to Spokane and Rossland. ���'. A. H. Harrison, who has bonded the B.C. mine in Summit camp, came in yesterday from Jtrairview. - D. A. Holbrookleft early in the week for the reservation. He is negotiating for the sale of several of his valuable mining properties there. Hon. D. W. Higgins arrived in Ross- land on Monday and in an interview with the Miner, he spoke very encouragingly of the Boundary Creek district. The residents of Grand Forks have forwarded a petition to the Attorney- General, asking that a deputy-registrar of the County Court be appointed.for that city. Voorhees & Davis, traveling musicians, entertained a large audience at Rendell & Go's, hall last evening. The concert was one of merit. A dance was given after the concert. The Townsite Company intend straightening Boundary Creek where it runs through the addition. Several men will be put to work in a few days. By excavating a straight bed for the creek an additional fall for the water can be secured. Court Boundary, No. 3576, LO.F. S THE ABOVE COURT meets at Greenwood ^ ever}' Thursda}" evening-.

Hig-g-ins in reference to the collection of votes for the provincial list for this district. Hon. Mr. Hig-g-ins writes from Grand Forks under date Aug-ust 28, his letter being; as follows : To the Editor���My attention has been called to the following- notice at the Recorder's office in this city: "Memorandum���The next court of revision will be held on Monday the 2nd day of Aug-ust next. After revision the list will be closed and such , closed list will be the voters'list for the ensuing-year. Application to have names placed on the voters' list must be. sent in to the collector sixty days before being- entered on the list. (See Chap. 38, B. C. Con.) ���I,. NORRIS, Collector of Votes for the Fast ������.. - Riding-of Yale Electoral Dist." The statement by Mr. Norris that "After revision the list will be closed and such list will be the voters' list for the ensuing- year "is incorrect. - The system of reg-istration in force in this province is continual. It is true that a court of revision is held in August of each year but the lists are never, closed. Any duly qualified person may send to the collector of votes in the district in which he resides an application to have his name placed on the voters' list, and after the name of such applicant shall have been posted for, a period of two months without an objection having- been filed the collector is required to insert the name on the voters' list. (See Chap. 38, B. C. Con.) There is no such thing as a " closed " list under our system. " If Mr. Norris' construction were to prevail no names could be added after June 2 of each year and thousands of qualified voters would be disqualified at the next election. If collectors in other districts have misread the law simil.arily there will be no end to the confusion, disappointment and illeg-ality next year. ��� . . Immediate steps should be taken to properly instruct Mr. Norris and all other collectors who may labor under the same misapprehension. D. W. Higgins. Section 38 of the B. C. Consolidated Statutes 1888, to which Hon. Mr. Hig- g-ins refers clearly lays down the duty of the collector of votes. He is to receive from any person offering- the same a notice of claim to vote and to insert the name of such person in the list which shall be posted up in the office of the collector. The collector is liable to a fine of $50 and imprisonment if he neglects to do so. If Mr. Norris' contention holds good, many hundred voters will be disqualified. Fortunately the law is against the instructions Mr. Norris has issued, presumabry at the direction of the Attorney-General's department. An effort should be made to at once place on the provincial voters' list, the names of the many who have qualified during- the last two .months. Kvei^ British subject 21 years of ag-e who has resided 12 months in the province and two months in the district of Fast Yale is entitled to have his name placed on the list.

Thb Boundary Creek Times celebrates its first anniversary; with the publication of this issue. The year through which it has passed has not been without encouraging- features. The subscription list has grown, the ������ advertising-; patronage is increasing, and we have no complaints to offer regarding the amount of job work received. GJ-reenwood business men have sufficient interest in the city to patronize home industry and consequently they do not send out to get their printing done. We do not want to destroy any sentiment that may surround a birthday but we cannot let the oppor- ity pass without gently hintingv to those who had sufficient confidence in The Times to be subscribers from the first and to pay in advance, that their subscriptions are again due and. that we will be pleased to acknowledge the receipt of two dollars. The Times has great confidence in the future. It ought to grow up with the city and district whose interests it has always striven to advance. Greenwood is in the heart of one of the greatest mining districts in the world and during the year capital will come in more freely, railway construction will be commenced and the growth of the cit/y will be rapid. The Times is now a healthy youngster considering its age and it will have a splendid opportunity to grow during the next year. . We desire to thank our friends for their liberal patronage and also beg to request them not to forget the subscriptions. GREENWOOD NEWS AND GOSSIP. Alderman Hamill intends leaving on a business trip to Armstrong early next week. , Mr. Ralph Smailes, of Rendell & Co., has almost, completely recovered from his recent illness. Messrs.

There are living- in the city of Greenwood to-day representatives of three great nations, whose countenances are by no means pleasant to look upon. Until last Tuesday morning- they were happy and contented free miners but now they are suffering-from bitter disappointment and disgust. Their troubles arose over a certain mineral , claim called the Vancouver, situated in Deadwood camp and registered in the Recorder's office at Midway in the 0 name of Fred Young- of Rossland. The Vancouver is a promising- claim; it has good surface showings and the assays therefrom are hig-h. The Vancouver was located on the 31st day of Aug-ust, 1896, and the 31st day of Aug-ust, 1897, having- come and g-one and there being' no assessment work done on the property, several free miners determined to re-locate the claim. Now each of the re-locators were ig-norant of the intentions of the others. Midnig-ht of the 31st came with a cold, cheerless rain and an Egyptian darkness. In the vicinity of the Vancouver were three groups of drenched men. One of the parties drove in posts and raised the stirring- notes of the ,. Marseillaise to keep his own and his companions' courage up. From another corner of the claim came sounds of driving-posts and also the "Star Spang-led Banner." Both the French and Americans were greatly startled when " God Save the Queen," penetrated the mist and the darkness and to find that they were not the only ones who were engaged vin the work of relocating-the claim. The morning- of the 1st was as dispiriting- as the preceding- evening-, but the mineral richness of the Vancouver acted as an incentive to the chilled men who spent the night in the mountains. They went to Midway to record and were greeted by Recorder McMynn singing- with a strong- Scottish accent " Will Ye No' Com' Back Agin." In their enthusiasm regarding- the re-location of the property, the parties in question never stopped to consider whether the law furnished a way by which an owner could protect his prop erty without doing the assessment work. When they were busy decorating the property with posts, one hundred dollars of the lawful money of Canada was lying snugly in Mr. McMynn's safe. It had been deposited with him in lieu of the assessment work oh the Vancouver. There are several disappointed men in Greenwood and it is anything but safe to speak about the Vancouver claim in their presence.

They are all being kept busy and have work in sight for some time. During this week several Greenwood residents came to the conclusion that this was a good enough place to build in and consequently the material for houses is being hauled to different parts of the city. Alderman Hamill has decided to erect a three-storey hotel on his lot at the corner of Greenwood and Copper street and adjoining his other block. The hotel will be built and furnished in a manner that will ensure for Greenwood one of the best hotels in the whole district. Work has already commenced and the ground is being excavated for the basement in which the heating apparatus will be placed. The building will occupy the whole of the frontage on Copper street and will run back for a distance of 70 feet. Alderman Hamill has already leased the building for, a year and he is to have it completed within sixty days. The lot is centrally located and is . an excellent site for a first class hotel., W. Miller, merchant tailor, has given the contract for a store and residence on Copper street. The carpenters , are already at work on this building. W. S. Fletcher, the druggist, has decided to build for himself on Greenwood street, next to Olson & Phelan's store. He will erect a two story building; the contract will be given in a few days.' W, W. Gibbs has let the contract for a residence and assay office on Greenwood street. Work has already commenced on this building. Mr. Ostroski's residence is nearing completion, as is also Mr. JOawder's. Both are neat and well built structures and will add to the appearance of the city. Mr. Thos. Miller, Mr. Powell and others are also doing some building. Good progress, is also made on the jail and court house. Besides these there are others who are contemplating building operations this fall so that carpenters are most j hopeful.'' Greenwood has plenty of carpenters of her own however, and those on the outside will-likely be disappointed if they come here seeking employments l Old Ironsides Machinery. The large hoisting machinery and drill plant has arrived at the Old Ironsides mine in Greenwood camp and men are hard at work getting it into position. The Burger Bros, and A. Call had the contract for hauling- the machinery from Bossburg and they succeeded in getting it to the mine in g-ood time and good condition. The plant was purchased from F. R. Meu- denhall, Rossland, the general western manager of the Jen ekes Machine Co., of Sherbrooke. The boiler is of 60- horse power. Mr. J. P. Graves, the general manager of the Old Ironsides arrived in Greenwood on Wednesda}'. Sonse Rich Specimens. Mr. G. H. Collins, the manager of the Brandon & Golden Crown Co., has brougiit down from their mine several hundred pounds of wonderfully rich looking- samples. Some of these will be sent to Toronto, Montreal and other eastern cities and will there undoubtedly attract considerable attention. That V what talks at the WHITE FRONT these days.

All the mineowners and others interested in the development of Boundary Creek ' district should make an effort to have an exhibit at the Spokane Fruit Fair. Judg-ing- from the lack of interest at present evinced in the matter, no exhibit will be sent, or it will be of such a commonplace order that it will not do justice, to the district. Iyast year the same lack of interest was displayed and were it not for the energ-y and perseverance of Mr. J. C. Haas Boundary Creek could have made but a poor showing- at Spokane. Thanks to his efforts, the exhibit was second only to that of the Fort Steele country; it received the encomiums of the press and mining men and did much towards attracting- attention to the district. Mr. Haas also remained near the exhibit arid furnished inquirers with valuable information regarding- the dis- ���' trict. ' ���'���"'.��� If the residents of this district will present an interesting- object lesson to the thousands who will attend the Fruit Fair, the benefits to be derived will well repay the trouble and expense. Boundary Creek produces a wonderful variety of ore and nothing- so soon attracts attention as a nicely arrang-ed mineral exhibit. The people of Grand Forks are collecting- ores for the Spokane Fair and unless the people of Greenwood are alive to their interests, those who go to Spokane need not be surprised if they find that the Grand Forks exhibit includes ore from camps in this vicinity. A Larger Force of Men. Mr. J.- P. Graves, the manager of the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill Companies, paid only a hurried visit to the properties leaving- ag-ain on Thursday morning-. During- his stay however, he gave instructions to put more men to work and on Thursday 15 men were employed. It is reported that the company have decided to spend $20,000 on the Ironsides and Knob Hill. From all appearances the properties justify the exj^enditure of any amount of money and they are likely to become two of the largest producing- mines in the country. Fach contains enormous bodies of ore. A REPORTED CHANGE. The Vancouver World is the authority for the following : ' It is reported in Victoria that Mr. Scaife has resigned the editorship of the Province and will shortly leave for England. Rumor has it that W. C. Nicol, a brig-ht young journalist, well known in Hamilton and I^ondon and who was for some months joint owner of the Kaslo Kootenaian, has been offered and has accepted the bosition." Mr. Scaife has been seriously ill for nearly a year and this will probably account for his resig-nation, if the report be true. He is one of the ablest journalists connected with the provincial press, and his many friends in the prdfession will wish him a speedy recovery and success in the Mother I/and. Another Dividend. The Cariboo Mining-, Milling & Smelting- Company, of Camp McKin- ney, has declared another dividend. The dividend is for two per cent, and will g-ive about $16,000 to the stock holders. The dividend is paj'able next Monda3', September 6, and the transfer books of the company will close Sep tember 4, and re-open September 8. This is the sixteenth dividend declared by the company, and when paid will make a total of $173,000 in round numbers which the company has paid its stockholders. Some of the earlier dividends were only 1 per cent. The mine is reported in a prosperous condition. The new air compressor, which was recently installed, is working- in a satisfactory manner, and it is the expectation of, the directors that other and larg-er dividends will follow in the near future. , R. H. Hamilton, of the Wholesale firm of Hamilton & McMillan, Vancouver and Naksup, and R. Carley, representing M. R. Smith & Co., biscuit manufacturers and Pehdray'sSoap Works, Victoria, paid Greenwood a business visit yesterday. From all reports mine owners in Slo- can are g-etting- discouraged at the low prices for silver and unless it rises to 60 cents many mines will probably shutdown. Some of the owners are talking- of reducing- wages but others would rather close their mines than take this course. Provincial Secretary's Office, Aug-ust 18th, 1897.

SURVEYORS AT WORK. Heinze will build. After countless rumors reg-arding- railway con struction, the latest information appears to be reliable and is exceeding-ly gratifying- to the people of Boundary Creek. A despatch from Trail states that Heinze has decided to complete the survey from Trail to Penticton in less than four months. There will be two parties of perhaps 18 men each and they will commence surveying- from the summit on the other side of Christina L,ake in order to avoid the heavy snows. One of the survey parties is now at Dog Creek in charg-e of E^ng-ineer Sullivan and as soon as they are under way he will return and organize the second party. It is the intention to complete all maps before winter closes so that active construction can beg-in in the spring-. G The despatch states that Heinze Pass is the new g-ateway across the divide to Christina lake, through which^ the Penticton road will be surveyed. It was so named because Mr. Heinze's engineers discovered it, and thereby overcame the greatest obstacle in the construction of the entire road. At the same time it made accessible a. country which had hitherto been considered almost useless for railroad purposes, because of the high mountains. In fact, the Canadian Pacific railroad surveyors at one time reported it as impassable, and did not even outline a probable route through it. The lowest pass they succeeded in finding was 7500 .feet, while Heinze's engineers discovered an opening which repre-c sents a climb of only 4000 feet. The whole country is a succession of hills, and, a large portion of it is altogether unexplored. It is a peculiar break in the mountains, running in just the opposite direction from the one sought, that will let the Penticton road through. From Robson the Columbia river turns from its northeasterly course and runs almost due west for perhaps eight miles before it takes a course northwesterly for the same distance, broadening into what is called l/ower Arrow lake. From this lake to Christina lake is a distance of about 30 miles, and just in -the center of this area, is the divide from which flows Dog creek, to the northeast, entering Arrow lake, and McCrea creek, to the southwest, into Christina lake. It is along these ..streams that the most difficult portion .of the Penticton road will find its grade. The Canadian Pacific railroad engineers, instead of following the south tributary of Dog creek, ran their line along one running almost due west, with the intention of reaching Kettle river, but the high grades were in the way, and no pass short of 7500 feet could be found. Heinze's men made two trips, with better results. Naturally they were looking for an opening in the mountains east and west, but instead they found one running due north and south. They called it Heinze pass and it is 13 miles in length. When the mouth is reached a sharp turn is made, and the distance is re traced on the other side of the mountain, until the head of McCrea creek brings the road on a gradual decline to Christina lake. Then the most difficult section of the whole Penticton road is covered, and the road runs down the east side of Christina lake to Cascade City, across Christina creek, and along the north bank of the Kettle river. From the North Fork at the mouth of Pass creek, the road will cross to Boundary creek, pass through Greenwood, down to Midway and on to Penticton.

The electors of Greenwood are to be congratulated upon the result of Saturday's election. The Times will be disappointed if the. aldermen-elect will not give the city a progressive and efficient administration. All of them are successful business men, and if they will only conduct the civic business as," each conducts his own the electors will have nothing to fear. Aid. Hamill is no stranger to municipal work, having been for a number of years a member of the municipal council of Spallumcheen. His experience should prove to be of the greatest benefit at first. Aid. McKenzie also had municipal experience in the East, where the work is similar to that in the municipalities . ��f''.this province. There are many matters that require careful consideration and we believe that the new cduncil will approach them in the proper spirit, having only the interests of the city at heart. A New Steamer. A steamer is being built at Okanagan landing which, when completed, will be utilized for carrying freight by way of Okanagan river and Dog lake from Penticton to Okanagan Falls. The steamer will be a stern-wheeler of light draft, 90 feet in length and 18 feet in width. The distance is about twelve miles, and as an appropriation has been made by the Dominion government for cleaning and deepening the river the steamer is likely to prove a success and will ensure a more speedy conveyance of freight to Boundary Creek points. Boundary Creek Ore. During- the week mining men and others have discovered the advisability of securing a building in which could be displayed specimens of Boundary Creek ore. Such a display would result advantag-eously to Greenwood and the whole district. If properly labeled it would also furnish intending purchasers with a great deal of information concerning the ores of Boundary Creek. Probable' the city council will take up the matter and see that it is carried to a successful issue. Hon. Joseph Martin and Smith Curtis of Rossland visited Christina Lake last week and bonded the St. Elmo from Mr. Hutchinson for $50,000. ����� <����� ��� 4*>o+a*+*w>-Q*o>*<i��o*��t>-^a>o*��>a<&m*ok-o-4at>*-a-4B>-e-'t*>-*-4��>*m**r A" e ��� V * A '' ��� T Winchester, Marlin and Savage Rifles.
