A decided improvement in business generally is expected after the election. "The Dominion elections which took place today, and the elections in the ��� United States yesterday, conclude a long series of elections both on this continent and in the old country. Elections have a tendency to make things unsettled in the business world, and all save the professional politicians are heaving sighs of relief that they are now over. Taking everything into consideration, the outlook for Greenwood is the brightest.

WATERLAND CASE. *<.#*.).*##.!.##*##*##���. ft#*^^ week. "Of course," he continued^ "we naturally look for a revival of trade in the fall, but there is something beyond this that accounts for increased trade and brighter prospects." The business man was only voicing the views of other merchants in the city. There is a decided improvement in Greenwood and a number of causes have contributed and are contribuiting towards such a gratifying result. In the first place, the natural tendency, for trade to increase as winter approaches is an important factor. Then in the city itself, while the building trade is not booming, it is much brighter than it was during the summer. -It is a peculiar fact���but nevertheless a fact���that during the summer when lumber is dry, other building material in good condition and everything is favorable, but little building goes on. When the cold weather sets in, shorter days come and work can be accomplished under greater disadvantage, many make up their minds that they need new residences or business blocks. Then again quite a number of men have been employed in the city during the last month. The lumbering business has picked up and woodmen are being kept busjr^ The employment qj a'farge"hiir-ibe'r"of men at the Laidlaw smelter has added to the payroll that is being expended in the city. Pros pectors have returned from the hills and are making Greenwood their future home. But it is in mining that the greatest improvement is shown. The great Mother Lode mine never looked better, a body of pure chalcopyrite recently encountered at the 300-foot level adding greatly *to the known wealth of the big property. This discovery has had an appreciable e_fec,t on the price of British Columbia Copper company's shares which, according to the Engineering and Mining Journal, are being quoted at .over $12 per share ou the New York Exchange. Superintendent Harry Johns is doing good work' on the Crown Silver, one of the properties owned by the Montreal Boundary Creek company. There is magnificent ore on the property, and new drifts which are being run are meeting new wealth. But little work has recently been done on the Sunset, the management being desirous of further, developing the Crown Silver. "On the Morrison a rich strike was recently made, and this property never looked better than it does ot the present time. E. A.

Prewar, (foreman), Thos. S; McPherson, W; R. Mclean, P,7B. Lys, George N. Gilchrist, W. M. McBride, E. "Vernon Thompson and David W. Rutherford. For the plaintiff, Mr. W. A. Macdonald, Q. C, and Mr. A. M. Johnsqu appeared, while the city was represented by Mr. W. A. Galliher. and; "Mr. Andrew Leamy. Mayor Hardy occupied a seat alongside of the counsel for.the city and watched the proceedings with much interest, ' After the ppehing remarks by Mr. McDonald, C." W. H. Sanson was called for the plaintiff.' He deposed that he had been city engineer from April to June, 1899,; Mr.-.Hardy** then being Mayor. The.plan produced was made by him, and snowed the locality of the overflow! particularity the Deadwood street crossing, the Alhambra tiieatre and the Miners' hotel. He had seen the work of filling in-Boundary creek at the Deadwood street crossing going' on, under the supervision of J. A. McMillan, city foreman, and in his opinion the direct cause of the overflow was the filling in of the bed of, the creek without making proper provision for carrying off such water as would naturally find its way into this bed, by building a'flu,me or culvert to enable the water tq pass through. He estimated the quantity of water running through Boundary creek at its normal state as about 1,000 miner's inches, while upwards of 600 wagons of earth and rock had been used in the filling. One of the most important features of his evidence was that while he was city engineer he advised Mayor H^rdy that unless a flume or cylvef _ v-aa put in at the*DeadwoQd street crossing, there would certainly be a flood or overflow when, the usu^l spring freshet came. This year, after the damage was done, the city had put in a flume such as should have been put in in the first place. Mr, C, -3��. Shaw, another former city engineer, followed giving much the sarae=evidencer-He-said"that*-"in^road' building one of the first principles was to perfect roads crossing old river* beds or ravines where water might gather, by putting in proper culverts or flumes. If such a "culvert" as Mayor Hardy, in his examination on discovery, had claimed was put in, had actually been put in, which he doubted, it would be of no.a vail, as the loose earth from above would sift down and form a perfect dam. ' A. Forbes Procter, C. P. R. engineer, gave evidence.as to the proper method of building a road across a dried up stream or water course, and to the effect that such a "culvert" as had been described by Mayor Hardy, was wholly useless. " Walter Waterland, the plaintiff, was next called, and detailed his experiences on the night of the flood. He estimated his loss on business, due to flood, at $1,800, damage to stock 51,000, damage to building S2,000. and loss of cordwood $200j, The original cost of his hotel had been in the neighborhood of $10,000, made up as follows: lumber $2,600, hardware $2,200, carpenter work $1,500, plastering $1,400 and electric light wiring $450. A somewhat lengthy cross-examipation by Mr. Galliher failed to break his evidence in any particular. This concluded the proceedings for the day, the court adjourning at 5:15 until 10 a. m. on Saturday. When court open Saturday, Robert Mauhen, carpenter, was the first witness examined, his statement going to prove that it would cost $2,000 to repair the hotel." ' Mr. Galliher, for the defence, then formerly admitted the incorporation of the city of Greenwood, and that the flooded area was within the municipality. - - *.'.-' Mr.'Robert Wood was the rText witness.;-An .important . feature in his evidence; was that he had in 1899, when Deadwood street was being filled in, interviewed the city engineer and pro- lested against filling in the old -creek in the way it was done, and had also warned Thomas Hardy, the mayor, but j had been snubbed for his pains. He had been down at the scene of the flood the morning after the overflow, and haying examined the scene thoroughly, gave as his deliberate opinion that the flood had been directly due to the filling in of the bed of the creek by the citv at the Deadwood street crossing. A lengthy cross-examination by Mr. Galliher failed to weaken his evidence. Mr. Macdonald put in the evidence of C. F. Alston, city engineer, taken on examination at Greenwood, and rested his case. For the defence, Mr. Galliher first called Sidney M. Johnson, P. L. S., who produced another plan of the locality in question, made by himself, and gave geneaal evidence of the surroundings. He also said that in 1899 he had surveyed lots-10 and 11. in the rear of the Alhambra theatre, for the owner, Mr. Fletcher, and that actually while the survey was. being made Mr."Fletcher had men and teams at work filling and grading up their lots and the 16- foot alley way between them and the Alhambra, and that when the grading and filling in was completed, it formed a perfect dam across the old bed of the stream, and it was this, and not the filling up of the old bed of the "������'' ream at Deadwood street, that causej the flood. He also produced a profile, show-^ ing the high water mark in 1900 ancT the cross-section of the grading of Mr. Fletcher's lots. Mayor Hardy gave evidence as to the filling in of Deadwood"street .and the grading of Mr. Fletcher's lots. He denied explicity of being warned by Robert Wood against filling in Dead- wood street without putting in a proper flume, and said that the provision made by .tie city for drainage was a proper one. It consisted of throwing in large holders and then covering these with smaller stones before putting iri the earth, and would be sufficient to allow the water to percolate through. If this had not been in his judgment a-proper culvert, he would have seen that a better one was put in, but he had considered the matter and was satisfied he had done what was right. The last witness examined for lhe city.was William McBride, a prospector and cattle raiser, whose house is next to the Miner's hotel. He said that on the night of the flood he had, with the bartender of the.Miner hotel, endeavored for a while to keep back the water, bu,t their efforts were unavailing. He gave his opinion7 that the flood was due to three causes; first, the grading of lots 10 and 11, i. e. Mr. Fletcher's lots in the rear of the Alhambra, the building of the Alhambra basement causing a filling up of the alley way, and third, the filling in by'the city ��of the Dead- wood street crossing of the old creek bed. .

Not since the days of '78, when Sir John with his protection slogan carried all before him, did the people of Canada so unitedly endorse a leader and a party. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was endorsed by the people o.f Canada and he goes back to power with a bigger majority than eyen-^Ontario influenced doubtless"by the racial cry and the defections of a few disgruntled Liberals like H. H. Cook, was left behind in the sweeping endorsation of the Liberal party, and a few stalwarts were left at home. In Quebec it was practically a clean sweep, only seven Conservatives were returned out of sixty-five. The mar- ilime provinces joined in the procession and piled up Liberal majorities, while Manitoba, the Northwest and British Columbia held their own. The most noticable feature of the fight was the slaughter of Conservative leaders. The best of eraitors is no more. All save Haggart went down before enthusiatic Liberals and indifferent Conservatives. Sir Charles Tupper, Bart; Hon. Geo. Foster, Dr. Montague, Hugh John McDonald, Sir Adolphe Caun���in fact all the Conservative leaders were defeated, The C. P. R. telegraph company furnished the returns at the Auditorium and gave an excellent service. It was a small but jolly crowd who showed an interest in the federal elections. Shortly after seven the returns began to come in, and party men cheered when any notable victory was announced. Lack of space prevents a detailed statement of the results. In this prooince Ralph "Smith, Labor, endorsed by the Liberal government, was elected in Vancouver Island. Victoria, true to ancient love, returned Prior and Earle. Morrison carried New Westminister. Siifton simply slaughtered Hugh | John in Brandon, pilling up a majority of over 400. Puttee, Labor, endorsed by Liberals, carried Winnipeg by a big majority, and Blair ran up against the C. P. R. and Foster in St. John and came out with over 1,000 majority. The --Island," Prince Edward, sent out word that only one Liberal was elected, but before the final returns the tables were reversed and only one Conservative willvsit in the house for the Island. ���'.. ��� It was a glorious victory ! Yale-Carriboo will be next P. Burns, the cattle king, according to the Nelson Miner, hassecured con- ~ trol of a $2,000,000 copper "mine in Mexico. It says : "Some years ago when Patrick Burns was just beginning to gain liis reputation as the 'cattle king of the west' he assisted a young English mining expert and engineer who was in financial or other difficulties. The young man was grateful and always made it a point to keep in touch with _ Mr. Burns, in the hope that some day1" he might be able to repay him for the favor shown. But as time went on the Englishman drifted to other parts, andf for a few years Mr. Burns heard noth- of him. Less than a year ago, however,1 a letter came from this mining engineer.

He had not the funds to develop the property, and he was anxious that Mr. Burns should take! hold of it, because, as he expressed it,| there were millions in it. Mr. Burns'��� had enough faith in his frieiid to send a man down to look at the property. This man came back with a confirmation of the report of the Englishman. Then Mr. Burns consulted with Mr. Bruce White, of Nelson, and the conference resulted in Mr. White's departure for Mexico. When Mr. White left Nelson he did not say where he vras going, and so tar as the newspapers were concerned, they never knew���until now. Mr. White went directly to the property and examined it. Everyone who knows Bruce Whiteknows him to be one of the most conservative mining men in British Columbia, and when he came back and told his associate, Mr. Burns, that the property was a wonder, Mr. Burns was sure the Englishman had not overestimated his find. When a man gets hold of a good thing he usually" likes to see it for himself, and so Mr. Burns decided to pay a visit to Mexico. He did so, and has only recently returned. He didn't go to confirm Mr. White's report, for he knew that was right, and he came back just as enthusiastic aB the Englishman himself. The several visits resulted in Mr. Burns taking hold of the property, or in other words securing the controlling interest. It is said to be a veritable mountain of copper and to be one of the largest deposits of copper oh the continent. The property is within a few miles of the sea, which renders the transportation of ore easy, Steam wagon's carry the output of the mines to the water, where it is loaded on steamers and carried to the nearest smelter. Already there are over 200 men at work on the property. It is reported that Mr. Burns was offered $2,000,000 for his interest, but that he refused to sell.

The Times is quite confident of the re- ��� suit and the advice and-suggestions which follow are.based on theassump- - tion that the Laurier government is Sustained. The election in the Yale- Cariboo district will not take place for at least two weeks and all parties in the contest will have an opportunity to base future action, upon the result of the general elections today. There is a great need for earnest cinsideration.���"*There- are two candidates in the field, endorsing practically the same platform, ..who are dividing a streugth that is Sufficient to defeat the Conservative candidate, Mr. McNeill- If the labor meu want the return of Mr., McNeill, if they want a niember in Ottawa who is opposed to the Laurier government-then all they have to. do. is to keep Mr. Foley in the field and support him. Surely that is not what Mr. Foley or the laboring men want. Laboring men acquainted with political conditions in_ this large constituency-are fir inTin the belief thatthe. election of M!r., Foley is. impossible. He will make a strong showing in Greenwood, Rossland and Nelson and in the mining districts tributary to these cities, but there are nearly 10,- 000 voters outside of these districts who will fail to appreciate the necessity for a labor candidate and who, will not give him their support. But Mr. Foley may secure sufficient votes in the mining centers to defeat Mr. Galliher aad elect Mr. McNeill** _ Ev.en_admitting-that_Mr,_Foley___will "be elected, there are two courses open to him, one to look wise and accomplish nothing, and the other is to ally himself with either of the parties in the house. Party government recognizing only two parties, the government in power oa the one side and those opposed to them on the other. The' member who stands in the lobby or sits in the*aisle might as well be at home. The history of third parties in Canada show that they have been a failure and that sooner or later they became absorbed by either of the two great parties in this country. It is now a dozen or more years since the equal rights movement became popular in Ontario. Equal rights' candidates were nominated in different constituencies aud several were elected, but in one or two sessions, thc equal rights members were either good Grits or good Tories and the party was dead. Then Dalton McCarthy, one of the brainiest men in the Conservative party, broke away from them and was strong in denunciation of their policy. Opposition to the Conservative party won the admiration and sympathy of the Liberals, and in the election of 1896, Mr. McCarthy ran in North Simcoe and Brandon. In neither constituency was he opposed by the Liberate. One good turn deserved another and when Hon. Clifford Sifton was "appointed minister of interior, Mr.. McCarthy resigned the constituency iri his favor. Mr. McCarthy died and his son, Mr. Leighton McCarthy, was nominated as an independent in North Simcoe. Again he met no opposition^ from the Liberals. He is the .independent candidate in North Sim- id he is receiving Liberal .'that - was je patrons of pleader and a party jn the Ontario legislature, but where are they today? They are all good Liberals. Patrons like John Tolmie'.pf West Bruce, Rogers, Petit and others .went to Dominion parliament as patrons, forswearing allegiance to either of the political parties, but they found that in order to be useful they must ally themselves to either party and the patron members elected in 1S96 are Liberal candidates in the election of 1900. Laboring men can find in the history of their own partv sufficient to convince them that they are acting unwisely in this constituency. A. W.. Puttee, a labor candidate, was elected to the house of Commons and what did he do when he went there? Did he bemoan his fate because he had no party in the house? No! He did the only wise thing he could do. He supported the Liberal party because tliey evinced a strong interest in tlie laboring classes and were prepared to pass legislation in tlie labor interests. Mr. Puttee was a candidate in Winnipeg. No Liberal candidate was put up to oppose him and he received the support of the Liberals. Ralph Smith is president of the Trades and Labor Council. He is a clever man. He has plenty of good common sense and is a tower of strength to the labor party. The Dominion Trades and Labor Council of which he is president, recognizing his great ability, desired that he should represent them in the Dominion parliament and asked the Miners' union of Nanamio to nominate him.. The Liberals appreciating Mr. Smith's worth, endorsed him and repudiated Mr. Sloane who, although running as an independent Liberal, received no encouragement from Liberals as a party. The Liberals instead of opposing Mr. Puttee in Winnipeg and Mr.Smith iii Nanimo, supported them recognizing that they had good claims to the seats. They made a common cause against a common enemy. Did the laboring men accord the Liberals the same treatment in this district ? The Liberals held a convention in Revelstoke and nominated Mr. "Galliher, a gentleman who has always sympathized with and always worked for labor's interests. The Conservatives nominated a strong man in Mr. McNeill. Considering the fact that the Liberals were supporting, Mr. Ralph Smith, a labor candidate in Nanimo, and Mr. Puttee, a labor candidate in Winnipeg, they very properly looked for reciprocal support on the part of the labor men iu this district, but instead they found a labor candidate nominated, so that the Liberal strength will be divided and the Conservative thus enabled to win. Today the Laurier government will be returned. ., We ask the laboringmen if they think it gooi policy after having received "th.. support of the government in Winnipeg and Nanimo, to reward it by opposing the government candidate in this constituency? Unless they desire the election of Mr. McNeill, laboring men should join the Liberals in securing the election of Mr. Galliher. We do not question the right of labor men to run a candidate but we do quarrel with their wisdom in rtm- niug"'a candidate in this constituency at the present time. UNITY OF PURPOSE ESSENTIAL. Unity is strength, and a united government^such^as^-we.^ow^^haxe. backed by a strong and united following, representative of every section of the Dominion, will give to the administration of the affairs of Canada just that robust strength and energy which is needed, to go forward still more rapidly ih the new century than she has done in the closing four years of the present. But where would such strength and energy come from if by any possible chance���a most utterly absurd . supposition it must be admitted���the Tories were returned to power? '' The fortunes of the party are still at the mercy of the identical men who were discredited in the spring of 1896 by "The Nest of Traitors" incident leaders whom the Montreal Star de. clared must be got rid of before the party could hope to be good for anything again. It is amusing to hear these same men declaring that they are sweetly united once more, when Sir Mackenzie Howell is stumping South Lanark against his late colleague, John Haggart, and when the, same gentleman absolutely refused to appear on the same platform with the man who led the revolt in 1896, and the man who benefitted by it and succeeded to the premiership. Three other members of the late government who are still leaders: Messrs. Caron, Montague and Clarke Wallace were, with Mr, Haggart, mixed up in a charming squabble over a very unsavory anonymous letter incident in which each of the quartette appeared bent on finding the other fellow. It is noteworthy that while these men had' been bosom companions for many years, they are not in any way associated in the joys and sorrows of the present contest. And so on through the list. The rank and file, follov ing the example of their leaders, ar_s divided up into distinct and more or less hostile camps, and the evidence of this are so | apparent that no one cxi* possioly be misled by the loud vociferations that unity, peace and concord reign suprem within the Tory ranks. Moreover the policy, or .lather policies, of the party are as various,divergent and as antagonistic as the sections of the party itself.. Pro-Freeh in Quebec, ultra-British in Ontario, out-and-out protection in the east, free trade in the west, anti-Protestant in Quebec, as extreme in'the opposite direction elsewhere, and so forth. What kind of unity and what kind of strength can possibly be expected from such an aggregation of "statesmen" arid such a conglomeration of "policies?" SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE. When things are "the best" they become "the best selling." Abraham Hare, a leading druggist of Belleville, O., writes: "Electric Bitters are the best selling bitters I have handled in 20 years." You know why? Most diseases begin in disorders of stomach, liver, kidney, bowels, blood and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up the stomaeh, regulates liver, kidneys and bowels, purifies the blood, strengthens the nerves, hence cures multitudes'of maladies. It builds up the entire system. Puts new life and vigor into anyiweak, sickly, rundown man orwoman. Price 50 cents. Sold by Miller Bros., druggists. " . PROFESSIONAL CARDS. HALLETT <& SHAW, Bakristbrs, Solicitors, Notaries Public.

R. detectives, Burns, of Montreal, H. A. Jansen, of the secret service department, Fort William, other detectives and a score of spotters were giving the Columbia & Western railway considerable attention during the past two months. As a result, two C. P. R. passenger conductors are hunting other jobs and; the coast and American newspapers have been furnished with the nucleus of an interesting story which by the aid of the journalistic imagination has been developed into four er five columns of interesting reading matter. The bare facts of the case do not make aB thrilling a story as the adorned tales of the outside papers. Two conductors running' between Greenwood and Rossland arranged with hotel runners to sell resold tickets which they accepted as good on the trains. The hotel rnnners sold those tickets only to such persons as they knew. So far as Greenwood is con- coerned only a comparatively few cheap tickets were sold probably not more than fifty during the summer. The C. P. R. officials soon discovered that something was wrong and spotters have been quietly at work for several months. C. P. R. detectives too made frequent trips over the road and they at last succeeded in discovering the leakage." The conductors were dismissed. Whether' further action will be taken has not yet been de- ' termined. Against this are unsold debentures amounting to $20,000, In the event of the debentures not being sold, or are sacrificed, and it is Tforced to pay the judgments against it, the position to say the least, will not be ai pleasant one; I think the situation is sufficiently grave to call for action on 'the part of those who are interested in the city. A meeting should be called to consider the matter and see what can be done. Ratepayer. TO THE DEAF. A rich lady cured of her deafness and noises in the head by Dr. Nicholson's artificial ear drums, gave $10,000 to his institute, so that deaf people unable to procure the ear drums may have them free. Address No. H520C, The Nicholson Institute, 780 Eighth Avenue, New York, U. S. A. TAKE HO CHANCES. THE BRIDGE AT ROBSON. ��� John Gunn, the cotractor who is to build the stonework for the C. P. R. bridge at Robson, is registered at the Hotel Hume. A portion of his plant has already arrived and within a week he expects to have the work actively under way. The contract is a large one, involving the quarrying and lay ing of 5,000 yards of stone, The cost to the C. P. R. is about $80,000. The entire span is 800 feet long, and Mr. Gunn is to build the abutments on either shore and the six piers upon which the superstructure will rest. At .present deep water there is 35- feet in ' the river, and the stonework will be built by means of caissons. A couple of divers will be brought in to explore the bed of the river and to determine as to the foundations, etc: The rock will probably be quarried in the immediate vicinity of Nelson. Mr. Gunn found considerable difficulty in locating a quarry where he could operate to advaritage." The limestone encountered was not stratified as'is essential where the rock is to be used for building purposes, and the gratiite was badly broken up.- He has located a deposit of granite near the city, which he believes will answer the purpose admirably. The stone will be dressed at the bridge. The superintendent of the work will be J. Murray, while H. E. Armstrong will represent the C. P. R. Two cars of plant, including derricks, hoist powers aud hoisting engines, have already been delivered at Nelson and the balance of the equipment, consisting of three carloads of plant will be along this week. The work is to be completed during low water, which means that the stonework must be completed by June next. ���Tribune. "Don't stop the growing time", has appeared more than once among the mottoes prominent at Liberal meetings, and it conveys an injunction which Canada cannot afford to' disregard. Trade and commerce are always exceeedingly susceptible to outside influences. This is amply demonstrated by the marvellous development brought about by the improved conditions which followed the change of government in 1896, and inasmuch as the only definite policy which Sir Charles Tupper has so far announced on behalf of his party, comprises a. complete reversal of the changes which brought about the improved conditions, the inr excuiable folly of taking any chances is most apparent. Truly it will be the part of wisdom not to stop the growing time. ASTOUNDING DISCOVERY. From Coopersville, Mich., comes word of a wonderful discovery of a pleasant tasting liquid that when used before retiring by any one troubled with a bad cough always ensures a good night's rest. "It will soon cure the cough too," writes Mrs. S. Hiinel- burger, "for three generations of our family haye used Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption and never found its equal for coughs and colds." It's an unrivaled life-saver when used for desperate lung diseases. Guaranteed bottles SOc and $1 at Miller Bros.' drug store. Trial bottles free.

Title | The Greenwood Weekly Times |
Alternate Title | [The Boundary Creek Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-11-07 |
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. |
