THE joukmhv. ��� The car "Metapedia" left Nelson yesterday morning and crossed the river to West Robson, where it was attached to the regular west-bound:train. Arriving at Eholt, a majority of the party left the car and boarded a special engine and went up as far as Hartford Junction, where carriages were in waiting, and they drove through Phoenix, noting the improvements therer*-and.-=came-=down-*-late-=-in - the afternoon to this city, where tliey remained all night. The evening was spent visiting the smelter and the club. Early this morning the party were astir and strain was taken for Midway. After returning a trip was made out on the Deadwood spur to the Mother Lode mine and after luncheon the party left for Grand Forks, where they will be picked up by the regular eastbound aud will spend to-night in Rossland. ATil,K WITH TH-. MANAGKK. General Manager McNicoll was seen yesterday- evening by a Times man with whom he chatted pleasantly for a number of minutes. He said that it was his first trip to Southern British Columbia since 1891 when he visited Nelson and spent five days there fishing. He had hoped to have visited the Boundary before now but business had kept him always along the main line. Of the trip he said: "I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Greenwood presents an air of prosperity to the visitor that is refreshing. 1 noted at once .how well kept your streets were. In fact this one thing has been a subject of discussion with the party. We look t<> Greenwood becoming an important mining and smelter centre. Naturally since the company has spent such a vast .sum of money in railroad construction throughout the Boundary we are all anxious to know how the mines will turn out. When they comineuce shipping to the smelters we shall be- satisfied. I can assure you that the policy of the company will be to keep pace with the mining development. We are-going to do our best to encourage it, and just as soon as a mine wants a spur and can ship ore. it wili go in." Asked if the company pro pose extending the line in the near future west from Midway, he replied: "1 can tell you one thing, for some considerable time past'., the.'company has had out west of Midway'":.rid-in the Siinill.aineen district parties of surveyors. They have been looking over that section and making-report'-aud when conditions warrant it tlie road will be continued west." Mr. McNicoll said he had nothing.of interest locally to announce. He asked a number of questions about the mines' and camps generally of the Times man.and expressed satisfaction at the information given him. AN IMPORTANT ANNOUXCKMEN'T. Another member of the party interviewed was R. Marpole, the general superintendent of the Pacific division. From him it was learned, and the Times is the first paper to official ly make the announcement, that the Imperial. Limited service will start front Vancouver on June 10th.. At.thesame time a new schedule will go into effect on the southern branches, enabling a through connection with Greenwood by the Crow's Nest Pass line and the Arrow Lakes steamboat service. .At present passengers for Green wood coming in over the Ct'��>y's Nest are foreed to stay over night at Nelson, Hind from western poi 11 ts.1',on ,the, 'inai 11 jjtiie over night at West .Robson. .Tliis ���i.-ito be obviated by a change, hi the. running time, and passengers will come right through the sanie evening, arriving at Greenwood, at 11:20 p. i'n., instead of in the afternoon as at present. The outgoing train from this point will leave here at 11:30 in the morning. Regarding-the ballasting of the balance of the line between here and Midway, he said that it would be finished as soon as possible, but hot in time to run any excursion there as he had hoped ori the Queen's birthday.

'���."'. _-_oxdon, May 17.���The closing days of the drama at Mafeking .have been marked by intensity of dramatic interest as unexpected as it is out of proportion to the forces engaged. The news that the half-famished garrison was not only able to repel an attack, but to inflict such heavy loss in killed and prisoners as reported in the dispatches from Capetown, announcing the capture of Commandant Eloff, the grandson of President Kruger, and 90 of his men, makes Great Britain more than ever proud of Colonel Baden- Powell's little band and increases to _a_^__\___.__=_P_i��_L--___^^ their relief. L,oni>ox, May 17.���The war office has received from Robert's the following dispatch dated Kroonstadt, Wed- nestay : "Rundle yesterday 'occupied Meqtiatlings Nek and Modder Poort without opposition. Hunter has entered the Transvaal, and has advanced within ten miles of Christiania. Methuen has succeeded in reaching a point 15 miles, ou Hoopstead road without seeing the enemy. Natives and local whites have confirmed the previous reports of the disorganization of the Free Staters. The situation here is unchanged." Pkktokia, May 17.���An official bulletin announces that the federal troops stormed and occupied the forts around Mafeking on Saturday morning, aud the same night the federals were surrounded, losing, as far as known, 7 killed and 17 wounded and a number of prisoners. The British casualties are said to have been 50 killed and wounded. It is reported that the advance guard of the force proceeding to the relief of Mafeking from the south was repulsed Tuesday. London, May 17.���A dispatch from Lorenzo Marques, dated today, says that Commandant Elofl", grandson of President Kruger, with a patrol, entered Mafeking. Colonel Baden-Powell opened fire on the burghers, killing 17 of them and taking Kloff and *X) of his men prisoners. LOMH-N, May 17.���In the committee room of the House of Commons this morning Sir James Kitson, Liberal, announced that Mafeking had been relieved. The war office, however. wa�� uuable to confirm the announcement. A dispatch from H. C. Shaw, counsel for Rendell & Co. in the damage suit against the city, announced that Mr. Justice Martin, al'ter listening' to the arguments ou law points in the case* had confirmed the award of the jury and given judgment .for Rendell A. Co., with costs, against the city. The case arose in connection with the lowering of the Copper-street grade opposite Rendell & Cd.'s block, at the corner of Greenwood aud Copper streets. Rendell A Co. had secured a grade from the then city engineer, and the block was erected on this grade. Last year the*.council decided to do certain work on Copper street, and the street was lowered at least 18 inches below the grade given to Rendell & Co. The firm protested, but the mayor, who had assumed direction of'the street work, was obdurate a.id insisted that the street should be lowered. Rendell & Co. .then instituted legal pro- ceediugs, and the case came up in Rossland before Mr. Justice' Martin and special jury. The- jury award .36,500 damages, but before judgment could be given, the judge desired to hear the law points in the case argued. This was 'done at Victoria this week when judgment was given as stated above.. Miller Bros., owning the opposite corner, have a similar suit against the cityj^bi^tactipii-was.'defefred, awaiting decision in the Rendell case. The trial will now be proceeded with unless the city take steps to effect a compromise. There is more talk of au appeal, but the consensus of public opinion in the city is to the. effect that sufficient money has already been expended in unsuccessful'.litigation, and that the wisest.course.is .tu i-mleav��u' tu settle all disputes iu si 11 amicable manner. -.BORROWED'IN AMERICA.'--.

Cbc PUBLISHED BY The Greenwood Times Printing and Publishing Company, Limited. 11 unca:* Koss EmvoR. SATURDAY, MAY .l��l", Witt, OPINIONS OF THE EAST. Eastern I/iberal newspapers 'who know Martin are not at all enthusiastic about his candidature. The Montreal Witness recently published the following scattering condemnation and the Toronto Globe re-prints it in full: "Mr. Martin's policy, is, of course, a demagogue one, appealing to thc provincial prejudices of the people of British Columbia as against the Dominion aud Imperial interests, to the interests of the minors as against the mine-owners, and to the prejudice.-, of the I'.-iro- peans against the Asiatics. His policy includes Government ownership of railways, which is perhaps a good, but is as yet an impracticable measure; construction of a new railway from the co;ist to Kootenay mining districts, a policy intended to catch the electors of Kootenay district and the coast; exclusion of all Mongolian labor, which is in contravention of British treaties, and cannot, therefore, be enacted; resistance to encroachment on the Provincial rights of British Columbia by he Dominion Government, a d-jcla ration of war against 1 he Imperial and Dominion Governments for keeping British Columbia legislation against the Japanese within the limits of the treaty obligations, and an eight-hour labor day .to catch the mining vote. There can be no doubt that this policy ���is popular with th'e unthinking classes who arc strong in.numbers in-British ���Columbia. And it is quite possible that -vit'i Mr. Martin as-premier serious trouble maybe caused to all Canada by his rnlership. It i.s one of thc dangers of our system of appointing political partisans to governorships that now and then one of them occasionally, from political prejudices, .uses the royal prerogative as thc Queen herself oi* the Governor-General would not think of using it." we think the. report in the* Vancouver World of .the Tvfartih-Cui'tis Jmeetiug here takes the cake.'' In twen*|y-threfe lines.'devo.ted.to*' a report of what Mr. Duncan Ross is "alleged to have; said, j there are over twenty-three misstate- i ments, not the least of whicli is one to ! the effect that Mr. Ross called Mi*. j Martin a government wrecker. Any i one wlio was at the meeting will remember that it was ���: Mr. Martin-hiru- I self who claimed to have been a gov- eminent wrecker and a successful one: Another point made by the World report is that Mr. Ross "declared he would prefer J. Roderick Robertson, mine-owner, to John . Houston, a laboring-man's friend. Mr. Ross said nothing of the kind; but what he did, and did successfully, was to show lhat-Mr. Joseph Martin staled at a public meeting at Ymir that he (Martin) would just as soon see Mr. Robertson elected as Mr. Houston. We don't think it is much use trying to correct such a palpable liar as the World is, but it is just as well to let tht: public know what we think about our mendacious contemporary. WHAT'S IN A NAME ? NO PARTY LINES. The best element of Victoria Liberals pursued a sensible course last night. They met the best element in the Conservative party and then and there decided that their lirst duty was not to pari}* but to country. They.decUledthat it was more in the interest of the province to release it from the clutches of Martin than if was to exploit party interests. They forced the candidates opposing thc Martin government to adopt a similar view and in the city of Victoria there are no party politics "but Liberals and Conservatives have united with one object in view���the destruction of Martinism. There is nothing in Martin's record nor in his platform which calls upon Liberals as a party to support him. Martin considers himself stronger and of more importance than the Liberal party. At Greenwood he made his position clear. He declared he did not want the support of the Liberal leaders, it would do him more harm than good, He was running on his platform. I/ib^rals~Svho~b"elieve"that a season of Joe Martin would prove disastrous to the province are bound by no party lines to giving him support. They are perfectly free to vote for his opponents. Mr. Cotton has appropriated the name of "Provincial Party" for the remnant of that great combination formerly led by Semlin. We say "appropriated." We believe, however, he has stolen it. At the-last general election, when federal party lines were suggested to and refused by Hon. J. H. Turner, he called his party, in lien of a better name, the "Provincial Part)-," and their central committee rooms at Victoria were so labelled. The matter is, however, of very little consequence in itself, because a party led by Cotton means F. C.-Cotton all the same as a part)- led by Martin means Joe Martin. A man down in Georgia was asked what he would call his baby. "Durned if I know," he replied; "we've used up most all the good names we. know of on the dawgs." The great difficulty at the present time in designating parties is the number of them iu the lield, a condition of affairs which forms the only logical argument for straight- party lines. MACKINTOSH CANDIDATURE. As has been announced, Hon. C. H. Mackintosh has returned 'from the east. According to the Rossland papers he was accorded very enthusiastic receptions both at Trail and Rossland upon his arrival. It is understood that he will, now .enter upon the canvass with great vigor. He. will speak at Rossland tonight and at Trail tomorrow night, and will then come into the Boundary. Jn all probability he will speak iu Greenwood on Thursday night, although we have no definite in formation on that point. ��� The people of this district, whether unanimously in his favor or uot, will be very pleased to see and hear Mr. Mackintosh, and he may be assured of large and respectable audiences and a good hearing. THE VICTORIA CROSS, NO LICENSE LAW. c The discussion upon' the disallowance of the Liquor License Act of 1809, has developed the fact that there is now no liquor license law in force in this province at all outside of municipalities, and that any one who sees lit can sell liquor when and where he pleases so long as he keeps outside municipal government. This curious fact is caused as follows: The former liquor license act was Chapter 122 of the Revised Stbtutes. It was repealed by Chapter 40 of the statutes of 1899, which substituted a new scale of fees for those in the old act, but did not provide for licenses, that whole subject having been dealt with by Chapter 38 of the same year (1S99) which Chapter 38, is now disallowed. The question of the granting of licenses to sell liquor is therefore in the sa.me position as if no'legislatiou at all had ever been passed upon the subject, with the result as stated above, that any one who may see lit may sell liquor any place in the province outside of a municipality. Thus is exemplified, another of thc beautiful uncertainties of the legislation for which Hon. Joseph Martin, thc Attorney General, is responsible. Dispatches from the seat of war announce that Rev. Father O'Leary, with the First Canadian contingent, has "been���reeom mended ���-^for^-the���-V-ictoria. Cross for heroic conduct on. the battlefield of Paardeberg. This good priest is much belcived by the regiment. Though sixty-eight years of age he stood the arduous journey to the battlefield and during those trying days before Cronje's surrender was always in the firing line, ministering to the wounded and dying? When the history of the war comes to be written there will be told many tales of gal- lantry aud heroism, but none more inspiring than that of the noble Father O'Learv. EDITORIAL NOTES. AT Reyelsloke the premier told his audience that when he was called on to form a government he asked Mr. Diuisniuir to join him. At Kaslo he told his audience that he could not a.sk any of the members of the old house to join ihis government because they had all taken part in the demonstration against the ''lieutenant-governor. Yet Mr. Dunsmuir was one of these. There is this peculiarity about Joe Martin, that he does not care whether his stories hang together or not. He assumes that tlie people are fools and. will not take note of any discrepancies.���The Province. A LYING REPORT. For an example of downright lying aud deliberate falsification of facts, AT Kaslo Premier M'trtin said of Ralph Smith, M. P. P., that "he believed Mr. Smith had something to do with the labor, organization in Nanaimo." Oh, cheerful Joseph! He might have asked Mr. Curtis, wlto would have informed him that Mr, Ralph Smith is president of the De- minion Trades and Labor Council and is known from. Victoria to Halifax as one of the most prominent and independent: labor leaders in tlie Dominion, We: gave -Mr'; .Hartin credit for more tact than to endeavor to discredit Mri Smith's "position in the labor world. IT is understood that John Kean is going to contest the Slocan riding as the "business man's" candidate, and some of liis Conservative friends are trying to force the figl.it on those lines against- Bob Green. Such a course, if adopted, would be suicidal. Bob Green will- have ,a' walk-over in. the Slocan. He is-.even more popular than he war- last election, and certainly Kean is not a stronger candidate than was Retallack, Kt-an is probably a good i'uan in many ways, but no man in Slocan riding can win with Green in the field. -; ** ' This is the Vernon News' -comment on W. J. Snodgrass, who is the Martin candidate opposing Price Ellison : "Mr. Snodgrass was formerly an American citizen, having spent most of his life ill Oregon, where he was at one time a member of the state legislature. A few years ago he came to. this province and engaged in the sawmill and hotel business at Okanagan Fallsi Later on he became proprietor of a stage line between Penticton and Grand Forks, which he still continues to run. He is said to be a fluent speaker and an experienced campaigner, being well, versed in American political methods." Tin:'!'i." is a growing idea in Eastern Canada that a good many of the Canadian hoys who are now soldieiing in South'Africa, will either remain in that country in good : government positions or will be-taken into the Imperial regular army as officers. Those Who come out bf the fray alive and well will deserve the best that is going, but "at the same time we cannot help thinking that the laud of their birth offers as good opportunities* as can be had in the world.

Mack,-the general manager of >the ButcherBoy Gold and Copper "iMtiiing* company, returned to .tlie city today from the mine and told a Times representative that the whole face bf the drift at the .100 foot level is ��� in solid ore. Mr. Mack brought samples down with him to have assayed. The ore is typical Deadwood camp ore that cannot be distinguished fiom that of the Mother Eode near which properly the Butcher Boy is situated. ' There is a 100-foot shaft on the property and from the bottom of the shaft a drift has been run 30 feet west before; the ore body was encountered. ' This >drift- will be continued to cut through-the: ore vein. The showing at the Butcher": Boy is so encouraging that arrangements are being made for the purchase of a hoist and pump, of sufficient capacity to develop the property to the 1,000-foot level.

The Camps Will Be the JYlecea of i Operator This Summer. R.Malcolm is down from the West Fork. He is heavily iiitere&ted in that section, owning claims on Dry, Beaver, China aiid Cranberry creeks. He told the Times this nioruing that tlie West Fork will be thie Mecca for the prospector, mining operator and expert this 'summer.' There isAplenty of work being started along the various creeks that empty into the West Fork. He says that on the big properties, such as the Caruii and Washington and Idaho mines, development at depth is being delayed for want', bf completion ' of the main wagon road tip the West Fork.;'These: mines7now need machinery, especially, pumps, :atid until the road is built it is impossible to continue work at depth on account of the water. He confirms the report of the big strike of ffl^ena. on the Rambler and Standard fSajb'tio.n claims. These fractions were located less than fifteen days ago. They have opened up an eight-foot ledge of galena which iias been traced-for nearly 2,000 feet, he says. It is a true fi-isure vein. Assays from ore taken out of surface open cuts gave returns of $70. -The claims are ..on..Dry .creek, arid are o.vyned by Rambon and Kennedy. Many strikes are reported from Boomerang creek, where men ' are also clearing ground for ,a townsite. On the Highland Chief on Beaver ��� creek exceptionally rich quart", ore is being encountered.

As there are about 25,000 free miners in the province, and as hitherto these certili<:ates have expired 12 mouths from the date of issue, the matter is one which is of the greatest importance. At a special meeting of the Waterloo mining and milling company recently held in Spokane, it was unanimously decided to increase the capital stock by 250,000 shares, making the capitalization 1,250,000 shares. The increase is to go into the treasury, and has been made to permit of the further development of the mine.' A large part of the stock was represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, and the decision to enlarge tlie capital was made unaiiiniouslY. The. mill restarted crushing and there is sufficient ore on hand to keep it running several days. ���Four bricks of gold bullion, worth together about $5,000, were, brought down from Eoomis, in the Palmer, mountain district, by .Messrs. Theiss aiid Goodall last week, and* represent the first month's cleanup of the Black Bear mill at Eoomis. The mill was started about April 1, and the results represent just a month's run. How many,mines are there in the world that the ore can be measured by the. acre?: There are a. few in the .Boundary district that are already attracting attention, and one of them, the Knob Hill hi Greenwood camp, has $li;5bd,000-worth '���of ore in sight- above its tunnel level. ,, . .

It is interesting to note ho.w Canada's production of fine copper last year��� most of which came from this province, compared \yith ti\at of certain other well knqwn c6pperTp.roduciqg cqii,-* tries of the world., the' PoiT-jtiion }n }899 produced ��|,73Q .P. Hg tons of the metal, as compared with Montana's output of 106,650 tons, and with, the remarkable yield of the world-famous Calumet and Hecla mines of Montana, which last year shipped no.-less than 41,000 tons. The famous Rio Tinto mines of Spain, with the management of which W. A. Carlyle, late of Rossland, is now connected, also made a splendid copper yield last year, the output being 34,37.0 tons. ^Moreover, Canada's, total yield of last "year was on the other hand that of ..British South Africa, where copper-producing mines in Cape Colony and Namaqualand together prdduced 6,490 tons, or slightly less than the Canadian output. Meanwhile Newfoundland, which is steadily increasing its copper output, gave a yield of -2,700 tons in 1899. There is an excellent ch^ce for. work being resumed at ai\ early date on the Enterprise group in Long ~L, il<e Gamp.

This information was sent by telegram to, Jerrv Cameron yesterday. The Bengal group in South Dead- wood camp has been surveyed. Rumors are current that work will be resumed on the Oro Denoro about the'lSth inst. The Gold Drop mine is putting in a new air cylinder and grate bars for the compressor. R. S.

Mackintosh's opening; The Times was abused in the past speech of the campaign at Rossland ; for urging upon the electors the im- ���'Inconsiderable interest is being mani- >"f*fe_,.ed in the two boxing bouts that are scheduled to take place ou the afternoon and evening- of the 24th of May, In the afternoon, at Midway, during- the celebrations, Danny Dean and Andy King are to box 15 rounds for the featherweight championship of British Co- ;��� -���-'liuiibia. In the evening-, at the Alhambra Theatre here, Jhi.ti.ie Woods and 'A. D. McDonald will go ?.���) rounds. McDonald is in tr.iinuig al Columbia, and Andy King, Dan nie Dean and J iin mie Woods are daily gelling into condition here. Both con tests give promise of being exciting. Of the four men,' King is perhaps the least known here. He is tho accredited feather-weight champion of the Northwest, aud i.s ;t rapid and scientilic fighter of the McCoy style. He is well known in Anaconda, Montana, where he has won an enviable reputation for his pluck. His last im- . portant contest took place on March 2nd at Harrington, Wash. His opponent was Dick Holleywood, the "Omaha Kid," who is a very clever man iu the ring. The Ontftha boy, however, was' no match for the Montana lad, for King had hiui whipped in the second of what was -to have, been a 15-round contest, scoring five successive knockdowns. He has a reputation that Dean will find hard to overcome. Of the Woods-McDonald contest, it is evident that the Phoenix crowd are prepared to back McDonald to the finish. He is ex-champion middleweight of the State of Miuuessota, and while he did not show up to any extent-except perhaps for his hitting powers-in the last contest with Woods, he is reported as getting back into his old style, and with improved wind and less avderpois his friends confidentially look for his success, on the evening of the 24th. ou Monday night clearly demonstrated that the veteran has lost none of his force or adroitness. He not only succeeded in making his own position clear, but he has also exposed, the fallacies of his opponents. Mr. Mackintosh bad been accused of being an enemy of labor. Here is a portion of his answer to that charge: Perhaps Mr. Smith Curtis is not aware, although I. think he is, that when'the .struggle took place in connection with the printers' union in Ottawa, my newspaper, the Citizen, was the only one wliich stood by the union and paid union prices, [Loud applause.] Would Mr. Smith Curtis have acted similarly under similar con- Many will remember Hali Adali, the big Turk, who gave several exhibitions at the Alhambra last winter. He said when he left town he was going straight to "Gay Paree." Instead, he got switched off down to 'Frisco, where he is now having lots of fun in his lazy Oriental way. The "lumbering one of the desert," which by the way is not such an aristocratic title as the "Terrible Turk" or the "Sultan's % Hi.on," as he was wont to be called up here, says that the 'Frisco wrestlers (?) are just as easy as he found the Greenwood ones. He has tried conclusions with A. G. Olsen, who goes through ���life under the awe-inspiring title of the "Ferocious Swede," and downed him. J. J. Cameron, a bonny Scot, and Hans Klein, a tall Swede, have been giving him trouble, and incidentally receiving some of the Turk's hard-earned gate receipts at $1 per ��� minute. It appears that Cameron's accent was too much for the Lion, who failed to throw him in 15 minutes, for when Hali Adali secured his famous "jail" hold the braw Scotchman ejaculated, "Dinua ye ken, mon, ye canna doon tne"; and again, when" the Turk caught hold of the Caledonian's kilts, he howled " hoot mon!" so lustily that the Lion forthwith released his grip��� ���*""-a's"*also'-"his=purse-strtu��S;r��� Hans -Klein,- the Swede, earned $16.35 in the lirst bout and $5 in the second in a match with the Turk, who seeing his receipts being eaten up, made a special effort to stop the depletion of his.exchequer. At the chance.of making a few dollars out of the Turk, who looked easy, .one evening a valiant youth named Fitz- Gerald tackled him on the basis of a "plunk",a minute. He carried more whiskey in him than strength and though he is reported toy have tried hard, he only earned the7rnunificent sum of 10 cents before he was set on his head, and then smothered by the " lumbering one of tlie desert."

"lion. C. H. Mackintooh, Rossland, B. C: The Citizen newspaper was a strong union ofliee from cellar to garret, and under your control paid the highest wages. After your departure from Ottawa it became a non-union office. There is not a union man in Ottawa worthy of the name that will not always say you were always a staunch friend of-labor when mayor of Ottawa, You also proved a friend of the cause. C. S. O. Boudkeat,t, "Labor Advocate." Ladies and gentlemen, that telegram alone should be sufficient assurance for the mine-workers and wage-earners of Rossland riding. If there remains any doubt upon the minds of my hearers as to what position I always assumed towards the workingman, I read the following telegram from the city of Ottawa, sent by one who was intimately associated with me in public affairs: " Ottawa, May 14, 1900. " Hon. C. H. Mackintosh, Rossland, B. C: At a meeting held December 6, 1898, presenting you with au address from citizens of .Ottawa, following are two extracts, from said address: We are truly grateful for the manner in which you, iu and out of season, have responded to the calt of the working- men of Ottawa, always espousing their cause and at all times endeavoring to eschew the policy of an agitator. We recognized i'n you one of the leaders iu the advocacy of the great public issues affecting the working classes. The signers of address included twenty workingmen." Mr. Curtis will thus see that the interests of the working classes, as well as all other classes, are safe iu my custody. [Loud applause.] Again, iu discussing the eight-hour law, Mr. Mackintosh, after proving that he has alwajrs maintained that the law should remain, referred to Mr' Martin's position and said : Mr. Ralph Smith, whom Mr. Smith Curtis eulogizes as one they are anxious to welcome as a colleague in the provincial government, "distinctly repudiated Mr. Martin consequent upon his action in connection with legislation affecting the workingmen. Mr. Smith said : "I have been one of the men who cansiderecf in 1898 that Mr. Mttrtin would be a great agent of benefit to the province.' I changed my . in i n d. abou LSe pte.i.n ber ,_1899,J!A_vgjeer So have we.) I found that Mr, Martin was influenced by personal feejings ayaiust others to work defeat to the people's party. I only give two reasons. I consider if Mr. Martin had been prepared to carry out the broad principles he said he was, he should never have allied himself with the Turner party to defeat the redistribution bill. The next was the relief that was sought to be given the coal nutters of Vancouver . Island. ��� What did. Mr. Martin do? He combined with the corporation of the Dunsmuirs to defeat a measure to relieve the condition pf'.thiugs for the co'al miners." oYet, lio.w willing Mr. Smith Curtis is to for- get'jiall tliese things, to condemn me arid to eulogize the Hon. Joseph Martin. I submit then that the eight- hour law is being used for political, purposes ; I contend that it is a crime against the'province and an outrage against common sense for any public man to utilize the misunderstandings aud tribulations of his neighbors for the purpose^of/advancing his own selfish interests. I can look all classes in the face and say that this will not be my policy ; (applause); that I will uot pander to either prejudice or passion ; that I will use what intellect Providence has endowed me with towards building up rather than pulling down. Mr. Mackintosh was equally forcible in reference to the impraetibility of government ownership of railways in this .province, and quoted from Mr. Martin's speeches in Hansard to show- that the premier when in Manitoba strongly urged selling a government- built railway to the Northern Pacific. Mr. Mackintosh's speech was by far the best delivered during the campaign. Whether he wins or loses he is sure to make it interesting for his opponents. egotism of the mayor. Domineered by an autocrat, the -city council took the. position that neither property owners' nor business men had any rights, that their property could be damaged with impunity and that they were not entitled to redress. Much to the consternation of the municipal fatheis and their legal adviser the court takes a different position and asserts that the property of the individual cannot be sacrificed when municipal fathers revel iu blunders. While it is unfortunate that the ratepayers must pay the penalty for electing-men who have a peculiar penchant for inist:*_kes,still Messrs. Rendell & Co. are to be congratulated on the result. They were driven off one street and their property damaged by what the council was pleased to call street improvements, and no sooner had they erected a handsome block on another street than the municipal boss came along* and delibetately gave instructions to materially damage this also. If there were no- redress for the property-owner, ho sensible business man would undertake the erection of expensive blocks in the city. The lesson is __ bitter one, but it was necessary to teach those iu anthorit}- that private rights must be respected. This year's council can in no way be held responsible for the blunders of last year. They should realize by this time that any effort to prove that wrong is right is only saddling further costs on the city. The easiest way out' of the difficulty is. the cheapest way, and every effort should be made to avoid further expensive litigation. <**> As THK cause of the Boers becomes more hopeless, their sympathizers in America become more persistent in their demands for intervention by Uncle Sam, with a view to saving the independence of the two South African -republics and putting a stop to the war before their final downfall. It is but natural that there should be much sympathy for the liners, but governments are not ruled by sympathy, and the administration may be relied upon to maintain its polity of keeping out of affairs which do uot concern it.

Counsel sought to have a new trial on technical grounds. THli) TURNING TIDE.. The arrival of prominent mining men in the city during the last few days, and their determination to , at once begin the vigorous development of the several properties iu which they are interested mean much for the city. The season of dull times is practically over, and soon the cit}' will be eujo}'- ing" the advantage of having a large number of men engaged in the surrounding camps. Not only is work to be resumed on the properties which were being developed previous to the crisis���which���practically-.destroy.ed_,the. milling market, but other properties of great.promise are to be opened up. The Winnipeg and the Morrison have already contributed their share in the shape of- pay-rolls, and the public generally will be gratified to learn that theowuers have decided to resume operations on a larger scale than ever. It is more gratifying to have new capital coming into the district, and the announcement that Messrs. Grecnough and Wren have decided to expend a large sum of money in developing the Great Hopes will prove ���particularly pleasant reading. Then, again, Mr. Mack has men employed both at the Butcher Boy and the Athelstan ; other owners are getting ready to work their properties. Tliese, with the big mines and the smelter, will give a large monthly payroll, so that tlje tide has practically turned and in a short time Greenwood will be enjoying greater prosperity than ever before.

Title | The Greenwood Weekly Times |
Alternate Title | [The Boundary Creek Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-05-19 |
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. |
