The recent trial of Joshua Bell for the murder of Annie Allan was full of painful and sickening revelations. It told a story of the underworld full of the play of'the worst of human passions Here was a man of good appearance, of good health, of more than average intelligence, a victim to his own uncontrollable passions. He had seen much of life's hard features, had mixed with the roughest element of society but held, he claimed, in his heart a profound love for the woman whose life he took. Out of his love grew jealousy, out of jealousy grew hate^and .^out^jof^hate^grew,^ murder.. He had allowed his mind to dwell on the matter for months and years and when the moment was ripe he demanded the sacrifice. A soldier in the army at an early age he had doubtless learned to look on life with little reverence. Twice that we know of now, he had held a fellow's life a trivial affair, and whether in defence of his own or not, had attempted to take it. Inured to life's worst, the good in him had been suppressed, and it only' required the exigency to find him ready for the worst of crimes. And yet there must have been much of good in Joshua Bell. He could not have feigned the emotion he displayed when describing Annie Allan's death. Strong men like he, with hardened hearts, do not shed tears for effect. He doubtless loved his victim but unschooled in the art art of self-control, he sent her to a swift and terrible death, when persuaded she would not marry him. And so the mandate of the court must be met. Nothing remained forjudge and jury but to do what ihey did. The lesson of Bell's life is written in letters so large that they who run may read.

This was an action under tiinployei er's Liability Act for the loss of an arm.- It is understood that the compensation sought was S3500 but that a settlement was made for $600, It was eleven o'clock Thursday eve- nieg when an expectant throng frat crowded the court room to its fullest extent heard the -words uttered that meant so much to Joshua Bell. At twenty minutes past five the case had gone to the jury who for over five hours had been consulting with only such seriousness as men charged with so great a trust might consult, over the nature of the verdict they should find. During all these hours men and women sat and stood patiently awaiting the verdict. Joshua Bell. who must have lost all hope when he heard the judge's charge to the jury, if not before, was in his cell. The officers of }he law stood about now and then responding to calls from the jury room when this cr that piece of typewritten evidence was called for. A few minutes before eleven a tap was heard on the door of the jury room. An officer opened* the door and the crowd knew by his looks that the jury was ready to report. A profound hush fell upon the crowd that had been growing restless and0holding consultations in whispers1 here and there. The'jury returned to their seats'.-." The prisoner was-again placed at the bar. The judge took.his seat on the bench. The face of the prisoner looked no more serious than that of judge or jury. A man's life was in the balance and he whose life was being weighed felt the burden no more than they who weighed it. The jury roll was called and in quiet hushed voice each answered to his name. Upon being asked if they were ready to return a verdict, the foreman arose and amidst a silence that was awe itself said: "We find the prisoner guilty of the crime charged, but strongly recommend him to the mercy of the court." The judge evidently felt most keenly the solemn "obligation -laid-upon -him, for it was with deep emotion that he proceeded to pass the sentence that doubtless meant the extinction of a human life. Asking the prisoner to arise he said in effect in slow measured tones: "Joshua Bell you have been tried for the murder of Annie Allan and a jury of your fellows have according to evidence submitted found you guilty of the crime charged. I do not think they could have done otherwise. They have recommended you for mercy and I shall forward this recommendation, but I would advise you not to rely too much ou any clemency being shown, but to spend the time left you in getting your temporal affairs iu order and in preparing for the future. The sentence of the court is, that you Joshua Bell, for the crime upon which you have been convicted, be taken to the place whence you come and thence taken to the place of execution and that on the 13th day of January uextyou be hanged by the neck until you are dead." Joshua Bell stood apparently less moved by the sentence than many who heard it pronounced, and after shaking hands with the attorney who had plead so valiantly for his acquital was conducted by the officers to his cell below (stairs, while the crowd passed out of fny court -join silent and awed like 'i{n, -jStelize they stand in the ofgeath'. vs '-jich had lasted four days rder of Annie Allan, in 2th last. The ted by Ernest | id Forks, while A. M. V reenwood defended against terrible odds for the life of his client. The only close at hand eye witness of the tragedy was Annie Swan, who described in detail the events of the three days pieceeding its culmination in which the murderer and his victim were concerned, and most particularly of the last morning. She told of the conversation and events that led up to the wretched affair, of Annie Allan's attempt at escape, of Joshua Bell's stabbing her to the heart as she lay on the ground. Another eye witness to part of the affair, but from a distance, corroborated tne story of the struggle, and told of seeing the hand raised that struck the fatal blow. Other witnesses told of having heard Bell threaten he would kill Annie Allan did she persist in her refusal to marry him, and the accused confessed that only a short time before her death she had again refused. The story told by the prisoner in his own defence was that the woman's death was the accidental result of a play'ful struggle for the possession of his pocket knife., He allege-S that the. knife,; was tn-rhe- hand of Annie Allan at-the titnei and that she accidentally in the struggle stabbed herself to the heart. Medical testimony was submitted to show that the fatal blow was struck from above the deceased and could not have been inflicted, from its very nature, by her own hand. It transpired during the trial that Bell had shot two men in Montana, neither of whom had died, in one instance being acquitted, in the other being convicted with a short sentence. The prisoner was at times deeply affected while telling his version of the terrible story, verifying in appearance the devotion he claimed he felt for Annie Allan, whose life he took in a .moment-.of-hate.-**^^-^^^*^---- -*^^-=^-.-, The jury in the case consisted of: George Chappie, foreman, C. H. Archibald, F. W. McLaine, Wm. Green, Neil Lamont, Arthur M. Wilson, Randolph G. K. Stuart, Henry P. Large, Edward Hardy, J. S. McDonald, C. W. H. Sansotn, Wm. Bonthrun. Those who listened to the evidence in the case must approve the findings of the jury. MY FRIEND FROM INDIA. \ met pfesfev The was fi Phoe. Crow.

"My Friend From India" is an excellent comedy, full of crispdialogue and amusing situations. Manager Walker has gathered together a dozen clever actors and actresses who give an entertaining performance. Special credit is due Mr. Earle Sterling for his portrayal of the title role. He was ably seconded by Mr. Chas. DelVicchio as the ambitious but illiterate Kansas City pork packer. Mr. William Yule played two widely different roles���an Irish policeman and an amorous missionary���with splendid humor. The ''Tilly" of Teab la Force was a highly amusing characterization. Her dialect toast was much appreciate.?. The other members of the company gave creditable delineations of the roles assigned them. Walker's comedians gave such thorough satisfaction that their return on Nov. 1st will be awaited with pleasure.

"Mr. R. L. Borden, in one of his policies," said Sir Wilfrid Laurier, "suggest that we extend the Intercolonial to tiie Pacific coast, and he asserts that our Grand Trunk Pacific will cost $117,000,000. or even more than that. From 1868 to 1902, a period of 25 years, the working expenses of the Intercolonial amounted to $92,600,000,and the receipts to $84,000,000. If the interest is added, and calculating it at about $2,000,000 a year, then the loss to the people of Canada by government operation of the Intercolonial during this 25 years was almost 560,000,000. If this loss has been endured by the peo pie of Canada, how mucn will it be if the line is extended to the coast? "They had heard a good deal in the past of the folly of public ownership. Sir John McDonald and Sir Charles Tup'per had condemned it, and now at this late date the Conservatives were asking to revert to it in this'exaggerated form.���Sir Wilfrid's special.

If we understand the position of the Toronto News aright, it supports the policy of government ownership of railways in a general way. It professes also to see merits in Mr. Borden's criticism of the Grand Trunk Pacific project. In its issue of Sept. 23, in an article on "The Railway Policy," it has this to say: '"The general attitude of the Conservative party towards Mr. Borden's declaration for State ownership of. the transcontinental railway is remarkable. Outside of Mr. Borden himself and one or two western conservative journals there is hardly any advocacy of the leader's policy." Now these remarks of the News are unquestionably justified by the facts. The most influential elements in the Conservative party refuse to countenance the government ownership platform, for any other than purely election purposes. Mr. Borden is angling for a certain vote supposed to exist amongst citizens of socialistic views. The Montreal Gazette, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Mr. E. B. Osier and other leading lights of the Conservative party are perfectly willing to receive these voters, but will take precious good care never to permit the platform to take legislative form. They have before them the illuminating lesson of the Manitoba Conservatives catching the prohibition vote and then telling it to go hang. But why is it that we find the Conservative party unwilling to seriously advocate the policy of its leader. The answer is found in the same editorial from which we have quoted. The News tells us that, at the last session of Parliament, the Grand Trunk promoters demanded and received from the government an "enormous betterment" of the contract entered into the previous session, and that thereupon Mr. Borden "' *hiet"th^sit-uationT'witK'a bold declaration for public construction of the whole undertaking. He told the country that if.we had to meet nine-tenths of the cost, meaning probably nine- tenths of the liability, it would ' be better to meet the other tenth also, and own the whole road; and that the people must choose between a government-owned railway or a railway-owned government." If the editor of the News, who has given the question of railway transportation close study for many years, does not understand what Mr. Borden means, can only guess what he "probably means" then we ask what in the name of common sense is the average elector going to say about it? The two statements thus epitomized by the News are Mr. Borden's platform at this election. He repeats them in erery speech, and they are repeated, with parrot-like reiteration, in the Conservative press daily and weekly from coast to coast. The first statement of Mr. Borden's is: "If we have to pay nine-tenths of the cost, why not pay the other tenth and own the road?" Mr. Borden may vary the expression slightly, but that is what he means and that is precisely what he wants the country to understand he means. We challenge the News to deny this. There is no "meaning probably" something else and entirely different about it. People are not fools. They know the impression that Mr. Borden is asking them to accept, and they also know that his statement is not only not true but is the exact opposite of the truth. Because the contract clearty provides that verv much less than one-tenth of the cost shall be actually paid by the government. About ttih there is not the slightest doubt, and to reverse the fact is simply an act of dishonesty. If the statement is not untrue then it is obviously a stupid interpretation of the contract. In either case Mr. Borden is not worthy to lead the conservative party. The solemu deliverance about the.necessity of choosing between a government-owned railway and a railway-owned government is a jingle of words, clever no doubt but ancient (having long been used by the Kansas populists), and somewhat obscure. But the News, as an independent journal, is at liberty to use them a dozen times a day if it thinks fit. But we protest against their use by genuine old-fashioned Tor}*- newspapers like the Mail and Empire, the Montreal Gazette, the Ottawa citizen and others which for eighteen long years supported a government (and how support an opposition) at Ottawa owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway if ever a government or an opposition was owned by a railway on this footstool, excepting, of course, the absolute, undisputed and undisputable ownership of the Conservative government-of Manitoba by the Canadian Northern.���Winnipeg Free Press. more years of it may mean for Canada ��� they can only conjecture. Eight i years of Liberal rule has g-iven Can- apa confidence at home and esteem abroad. What Laurier has begun, the people will see Laurier continue���a policy of great development and growth. When trade is declining, credit becoming prejudiced, public debt increasing, party promises broken and corruption permedthig the administration of* affairs people naturally look to a change of government for redress, but when the opposite of :i 11 these obtains the mind of man is loo logical, despite the sophistries of i lie placeseeker to make any change. It would be contrary to all laws of self- interest; or public policy to * shift governments at such a time as this. No motive appears tor such a course, save the motive of the'ambitious one,'out of office and power, to again get.back into control. But the people may be depended upon to serve their 'own interests rather.than seek to aggrandize ihe ambitious fellows, tired of being in opposition. THE WAR. Some Conservatives are giving utterances to views favoring construction of a government road across the continent. This is not their party policy. Sir Charles Tupper said in the House of Com- mons in 1897: ' 'Whether Liberals or Conservatives were in power I would deplore in the strongest manner any attempt in this country, by any government, I care not who they are, or who they are composed of, to construct another government railway. RETIREMENT OF HON. A. G. BLAIR. The Dominion of Canada loses much by the retirement of Hon. A, G.-Blair from his important position of chairman of the Railway Commission. Men of Mr. Blair's ability and experience are few in Canada. His retirement first from politics was a loss to his party and the public service and his present withdrawal from his high official position is an equal loss to the administration of so important a public trust. Mr. Blair gives no intimation as to his immediate plans but they must be definitely known and appear favorable to admit of his leaving a position that would appear congenial and for which he was so eminently fitted. The hope of the Conservatives that he would join their ranks and assist in the' party's redemption appears doomed to disappointment. The terrible tragedy of the east still goes on. Slav and Jap are still in the work of-killing. Men are falling by thousand's but neither side shows signs of Weakening. Battles that last a week or more are rare in ihe world's history. It remains for these hitter days of Peace Congresses and dreams to witness a blood}' battle extending over a period of S or 10 days, day and night almost. The story of the battle of Liaoyarig was 'a' surfeit of blood to the reader, but Liaoyang 'has been eclipsed by Mukden. And still the armies are at it. Scarce time to bury the . dead. No time to mourn the 50,000 dead. Russian pride and ambition one the one hand, Japan's struggle for existence on the other are exigencies that admit of no delay, and so while the faces of yesterday's dead still lie white on the field to-day is dealing death to thousands more. The plains and passes '"of Manbhuria are being drenched, with blood, blood shed in atonement for the blunders of men who never see the battlefield.. For nearly nine months now this libation of blood has been pouring out to the god of war and no sign yet appears to indicate the offering at an end. On sea and on land the advantage has been with the Jap thus far. The wonder is that his successes have been almost uninterrupted. It will be greater wonder should they continue. Russia surely' must soon win something large or the spinto'f;1t'ffa_troops'' will be broken. After all what a blind, stubborn | fighting machine the Slav must be to go on day after day, week after week, unflinchingly against an enemy that appears to be his better. Neither side has right to complain of strategy. Neither side anything to be ashamed of in the matter of the army's bravery. The whole civilized world looks on and yearns for peace. Japan appears willing to catch the first symptom of couciliatio'n by her foe, but Russia wounded and smarting, confident in her millions says, "Victory, and not intervention, alone will satisfy,'.' MOTTOES WITH MEANING- LIBERAL VICTORY SIRE Advices from all parts of the Dom inion point to a decisive victory for the cause of liberalism and progress in the coming elections. The Laurier ministry will be returned to power with an increased majority. Incited by the party's clean and progressive past, the people are determined to continue the same policy and progression into the future. The nature of the Liberal party's policy the people now know, the measure of what four We reproduce below the mottoes that were inscribed on the'-banners that decorated the walls of Massey hall, Toronto, on the evening of the 14th inst., the occasion being a reception to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We regret that we cannot reproduce the speech of Sir Wilfrid or describe the enthusiasm of the event. The former was peerless among the utterances of the campaign thus far and the latter hitherto unpar- alled in the staid City of the Lake. "Good Times." "Listen to the Hum.". "Sec Our Tall Chimneys Now." "Ciieap Postage and a Surplus." "Do You Feel 'em iu Your Pocket?" "No Soup Kitchens Under Laurier." "Maintain the British Preference."

No attempt 'will ;be made to discuss the general issues of the campaign in this address. Since receiving the Liberal nomination in January last, I have visited many parts of the riding and made myself thoroughly acquainted with its requirements. This work will be continued until election day but owing to the large extent of territory to be covered it is a physical impossibility to visit all sections or personally interview all the electors. I therefore avail myself of this oppor- tuni ty to a*k for your suffrage. Permit me to direct your attention to some matters of local importance. Yale-Cariboo fully Warrants the expen diture of public money in its^develop- ment* ^^h^govewtnenJ.JhW.-^ite^y^ done much in' this direction;. It has granted aid to several lines of railway; government owned telegraph'and telephone lines have been constructed; the necessary moiiev has been voted to secure telephonic communication through the rich Nicola and Similkameen districts, and telegraphic communication between Vernon and Kel- pwna. In order .that the practically inexhaustible mineral, timber and agricultural resources of the district may be fully developed, this policy of governmental aid must be continued. It is important that* Yale-Cariboo shall return as its member one who can direct the attention of the goventnent to matters of vital importance to the district and who will support the government in its aggressive policy of development. It is particularly important that the electors of this riding should show their appreciation of the government's broad, statesmanlike plan of constructing another transcontinental railway which will be the chief factor in opening up the northern portion of .the riding. Branch lines to connect/with the southern transcontinental lines will surely follow and the whole interior of the province will be opened up. Briefly, my policy, so far as Yale- Cariboo is concerned, is a policy of development of all its important sections. With a leader whose record fills with pride all people of this country, irrespective of party affiliations; supporting a government whose eight years_of' wise, progressive administration has placed Canada in a proud position among the nations of the world, and at the same time has more closely connected the ties which bind us to the mother country, and fully endorsing a policy which means so much to the western portion of the Dominion, and more particularly to the District pf Yale-Cariboo, I await with confidence, your verdict.

This time the organization will present the particularly funny and 'remarkably successful comedy "Brown's in Town," a farce,which ���made famous its author.Mark'E.Swan. Mr. Walker, for-this new production, has strengthened his cbmpany very materially, retaining all 'his most capable people, but adding several clever' players. Among these acquisitions is Mr. George. Berry,, a., talented actor, who played with "Brown's in Town" in all the large cities of America With a strong-company and a great comedy it is''not taking* any risk to predict an evening of unrestrained merriment.

The Liberals are in the building so long occupied by the solid, substantial, reliable institution the Bank of British North American; the Socialists have their ' home in the old JSscalet restaurant room; where every 'man* got what he could pay for, no more and no less; while the Conservatives are housed in the room where King sold cigars, that ended only in smoke.

Below we present to our readers the second annual report of the Providence Mining Company. The features of this report are very creditable to the management that property and very encouraging for the district, In anything, results are what are demanded, and in mining affairs no results appear quite so satisfactory as [���ofits and dividends. The report of the Company's second year ends with Sept, 30th last, since which date another dividend of 10 cents a share has been paid the'stock/* >lders. One particularly pleasinf, feature of the report is the small amount charged up to office salaries a total for the year of only $740.55. At present the company |iips the ore without sorting, the output of 944 tons for the year averaging in value $72.48 per ton after freight and treatment had been deducted. The net profit on this was $27.61 per ton after deducting all costs and charges of every nature, The net profits for the year were $26,066,15 being over 16 percent net profit on the entire issued capital of the company. As much of this stcck ccst a very small ft of its par value it is evident that the stockholders have a property of which they may justly feel proud. The property never looked any better than at present and its >spects for frequent and increasing dividends are excellent, The acquisition of the neighboring property, the Dimond, would appear to have been very wise on the part the Directors and we only wonder that they have not embraced other claims in their ownership. It is desirable that mining companies should fortify themselves well th adjacent ground before the effect of their work has resulted in enhancing neighboring ground too much, ?

G-ENTIvEJMEJN : I beg to report having completed my audit of your books, vouchers, etc. for the year ending Sept. 30th, 1904, and now hand you herewith certified balance sheet and Profit and Loss account. ;������"'.' I have pleasure in reporting-having-found your-books in excellent order, all statutory requirements have been complied with. Your Directors have supplied me with all the necessary information'. I consider they have made ample-provision for depreciation. They have also written off a fictitious asset represen+ed in your ledger under the title of "Discount on shares" amounting to $16,437.50. The Balance sheet as now presented to you is, I consider an exceedingly conservative one, and you nre to be congratulated on having Directors who take so conservative a view of your affairs. The only omission I have to report is with reference to the dividend paid in October, 1903, there being nothing in the Minute book to show that this dividend was authorized by your Directors. Evidently a mere oversight.- \ By refering to the Profit and loss statement you will notice the total net returns for ore shipped amount to $68,424.84. The entire direct and indirect charges including depreciation amount to $42,358.70 leaving a net pr-ofit.on the years operations of $26,066.14. Of this amount you have already been paid $14,801.00 in dividends and the $16,437.50 above referred to over absorbs the balance. Respectfully, submitted, .15.

E. C. McDERMID, GENTLEMEN : During the year just ended we have shipped 944 tons of ore at a net value, after deducting freight and treatment, of $68,424.84. ���'The average value per ton, after the same deduction, is $72.48. Last year the values were $100.00 net, showing a difference of ��27.52, per ton. This loss has been principally in gold, if not entirely, the silver values being about the same as last year. -���The total cost of-miniugrafter both direct-and-indirect-chargesriiiGluding-deprcGiation-' written off machinery, taxes, liability insurance etc. was S44.S7 per ton. Or a net profit on 944 tons at $27.61 per ton, amounting to S26,06d.l4. Of which $14,SOO.OO has been distributed amongst the various stock holders iu dividends. After charging off, as you' will see by the balance sheet, depreciation on surface improvements, mining machinery, mine equipment and mine development. The amount of work d.-ne during the year was. as follows: 650 feet drifting, 91 feet sinking, and 119 feet of raising. There was much more work done, in what should properly be called cross-cutting through faults, and rising through faults, which I have not entered up in this, but have charged direct to stoping. The faults are still here, we have not yet got through ''hem. nor from general appearances will we do so for some time to come. They come in from the south, striking to.tbe north, and dipping to the west, throwing the ore shoot in a northerly direction at each fault. The north end of the mine still continues to be the profitable end, the best ore being there and less disturbances. The faults seem to become smaller as they work northerly, or at least as far as present experiences shows. We have an ore shoot ou the number four level, or the lowest level in the mine, 343 feet long. It cannot be called an entire shoot, as there are spots in it which become barren, and other spots where it pinches down to an inch or so, but at no point does it entirely pinch out, therefore I call it a continuous ore shoot, and still the ore continues in the North end. In the south it is cut by a dark grey rock dike, which I would call gabbro. We have not penetrated this dike to any extent, merely gone far enough to determine its character, strike and dip. From indications on the surface, 1 should judge that the dike is of considerable extent. Still I believe in drifting through it ore can Ik* found on the south end. The dike is very hard, and it would be very expensive to cut through it by hand work, therefore for the present we have left it alone. , Ore in Sight. It is very hard under present conditions ;i t the mine, to estimate the ore in sight. In the first place the size of the lead varies very much. Varying all the way from a foot to one and a half inches, with an average not exceeding six inches. This to gether with the hard rock, is one of the great reasons the cost of mining is so high. There is a fault of about 14 feet running the entire length of the stope. We have cut through this fault in two places and found the ore. In two other pi ices instead of finding the ore. we found what I believe is a spur of the dike of porphory. which lies between the number three and number four levels, which cuts the vein, faulting the vein for SO feet. The amount of ore that would be in sight depends entirely on the extent of the spurs through this dike. If the dike were regular, it would be possible, to estimate the ore both above and below the dike, between the two levels. But being what we found it. not regular, it would be merely a matter of guess for me to state the ore in siirht. as there is but one openin-*-*- on the ore between the number three aud the number four levels. Still there should be several hundred tons of ore between the two levels, of :i grade similar to that which we have shipped during the year. Greenwood, B. C, October 10. 1904.

Mr. Stevenson will succeed Mr. Fishei in the Greenwood branch. McRAE VS. C. P- R. The case of McRae vs Canadian Pacific Railway has been engaging the attention of court today, and is not finished as we go to press. This is a case under the Employer's Liability Act. Mr. W. H. P. Clement of Grand Forks represents the plaintiff and Mr. C. D. McNeill of Vancouver for defendants. TAX SALE OF MINERAL CLAIMS. If vou want any crown granted mineral claims on which the taxes are unpaid, don't overlook the fact that all such are advertised for sale at Rossland on November 7th next. The sale is not advertised in the Times, but we insert the above that claim owners may learn of it. LATEST WAR HEWS. The latest news from the seat of war in the east indicates some slight Russian gains followed by a general lull. The Russians are reported to be entrenching themselves north of the Hun river, and both armies, are being disposed for another great struggle. Heavy rains are proving a great hindrance to military operations. An Associated.dispatch from Mukden yesterday says: The cessation of hostilities, enforced by the bad weather, even it the Japanese offensiveness has not really been, exhausted, gives both armies a chance to breathe and to pull themselves together and would seem to insure as much benefit to one side as to the other. When, operations commence they will assume an entirely new phase with new dispositions and new objectives. Practically last week's battle has ended and it goes into history as a Russian defeat. When the operations are resumed a new battle will begin. The re-appearance of viceroy Alexieff at Mukden today for a conference is not particularly reassuring, as such conferences in the past have not been fruitful of success. GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT. The Grand Jury in its presentament to His Lordship Chief Justice Hunter on Monday last, called attention to several matters of a public nature. They took occasion to express the hope that a former recommendation in regard to the improvements of the courthouse grounds could be carried out. The Jury spoke in very favorable terms of the condition of the Greenwood public school and of its effective management by Mr. Sears and Miss Martin. In regard to the hospital of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace the Jury referred to the great improvements made there during the present year and to the efficient service it was rendering the public. The Sisters' Hospital is an institution of which all may be proud. To him unfortunate enough from._sickiiess���.or^accident,to1need1.the. very best of ministration the Sisters' Hospital offers a veritable heaven. Intelligent care, conscientious devotion to duties that must be most exacting and incessant kindness to all, regardless of class, creed or color, are characteristics of this institution at once a home and a hospital. The Rev. J. P- Knox, pastor of the Greenwood Methodist church, in a recent interview spoke in highest terms of the management of the hospital. He had just returned from a sojourn there where he had been lying ill with typhoid fever.

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. |
