Would you kindly allow me a few lines of space in your valuable paper to brinjr to the attention of the public a few matters that occurred prior to the arrival »f the honorable the commissioner of lands and works. I will begin by asking: i'irstly-What benefit has Columbia and the settlers and claim holders of the Franklin camp received from the provincial government during tbe past year? Columbia has received a small moiety" towards the brkige across the Kettle river. A great deal cheaper bridge could hflye been built by the city, but the government called for a certain class of work, ami it is only fair that the government should pay the difference and add to their subscription. Secondly—How much trade was done with Columbia merchants last summ r through the ■ department of works? The only supplies bought here were purchased in the early part of ihe neii- soi^ and amounted to something like $100. (It must be understood that it was only provisions that were boaght by tbe men to boara themselves). Now, what happened when the ne.. superintendent was appointed? Any man who lived in Columbia seemed to be barred out of any chance of a jyb. ! On the general work foremen ivere discharged without cause, and residents of Columbia could get no work. Aliens were given jobs, Foieni.n! without tbe least qualifications were brought in from other points to work on tbe Franklin camp road, and ihey I made a botch ol it. When men and' foremen were hired they were given ' to understand that they must buy their provisions aud supplies from firms in Grand Forks. What is the sequel? Columbia should have had at least $4000 coming in in wages and supplies last summer, but did not get a single dollar. I do not want to be tedious by going into details, but will leave it to the business men if it would not be well to hold a public meeting to discuss matters be fore the Hon. Mr. Wells arrives, in order to lay stale of affairs before him. Columbian. »e.J i'.-:r:/\.- w -l.w.t.^* The New au m.* ©ft ; J. H. MURRAY, Prop.

Of course the paretics I action need- , ed is tbe interesting of public and pri- I vate capital, and the securing ofgen- | erous subsides from all' the govern- ' I ments interested. The road will connect the chief fit- ties of Central and South America, and when this would interfere with the direction of the road, branches will be built. This of course is already a tact in North America. The congress recommends that all materials necessary for building the road be free from duties, and exempt from taxation, and that the line he forever neutral to insure freedom of traffic. The importance of such a line will be seen when it is stated that the delegates from America, 11 nv attending the congress at Mexico, came there by way of Europe. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 22, 1902 The business office of The Evening Sun is located at present in Columbia, where all correspondence with it, and exchanges should be addressed. In all of its tirades against the late city council of Grand Forks the Gazette never made a single specific charge against any one member, but its malicious insinuations and innuendoes were constantly aimed at aldermen Harvey and Donaldson. As these gentlemen were the only two re-elected, that paper must feel extremely proud of its influence for good government. Tbe Gazette sqneals. It does not relish exposures 01 its own crookedness. So long as it had a monopoly of the newspaper business and by blackmailin ' methods could intimidate the publu, it delighted in hurling its poisoued arrows at innocent citizens, and to shield the guilty for what there was in it, but when confronted with a lance tilted at its own foul reputation, it weakens. It found Rip Van Winkle not so much asleep, after all. There is some public criticism of the action of tne late city council in voting its members a few hundred dollars at the final meeting of the Grand Porks board. The Gazoot leads the kickers. For four years it has enjoyed to the fullest possible extent a cinch on city printing, but now it is out in the cold. Some of its demands against the city were outrageously extortionate. Its opportunity now being ^one, it feels disconsolate and sour It is safe to say that neither the Gazoot nor any one of the other critics wonld give the city anv service without demanding pay for it. The couu. cilmen during the year gave fully two months each of their time to city affairs, much to the detriment of their private business. There were seven of them, and if the $1,200 were equally divided among them each would receive about $171. Alderman Harvey who put in the most of his time looking after the city's interest as the chairman of the board of public works got $300; Mavor White got $200 and ao on down. For the same service the objecting Gazoot would probably have asked for $12,000 instead of $1,200. For two months the Pan-American cangress has been in session in tbe city of Mexico. Among many great possibilities to eome out of it are a Pan-American bank, and a Pan-American railway. The latter is to ran north and south through North and South America.

Small, representing Kelly, Douglass & Co., wholesale grocers of Vancouver, was doiog business in town yesterday. Ro-.ert Addison and family of Col- orado, uirived iu Grand Forks yesterday, and will be permanent residents. Mr. Addison is a son ol our well- known fellow townsman and contractor, James Addison. The various houses of Grand Forks who use ice during the summer, are now harvesting the same in large Uocks from the McCallum slough. Provincial co-stable I. A. Dinsmore left on last evening's train for Nelson, having in charge Sim Galloway, who will ssrve 29 months in the penitentiary, on conviction of vagrancy and procuring. The Spokane authorities are now on the Blue Goose hunt. She was tried in Republic 011 a charge of violating tbe health regulations and acquitted; | but was re-arrested on a warrant from j Spokane, where she will probably 1 stand trial again on tbe same charges on which she was convicted here. Judge A, Leamy has cleaned up the court docket here and returned to Greenwood today. During his stay here this term he was registered at the Winnipeg. ■Surveyor Goess has surveyed the proposed line of extension of Bridge street it its intersection with Government avenue. Norman McClellan Is suffering from an inflammatory ailmeat in one of his eyes. The social at t he residence of T. B. Croston last evening, given by the ladies ot the Baptist church, was well attended and enjoyed by all present. Charades was the principal feature of the evening's entertainment. At 10 o'clock a dainty lunch of waffletf.es and coffee was served. Arthur JDonegay, one ot our well- known young men left for Vancouver today. After visiting there he will g» to Juneau, Alaska. The first game in the aeries for the Stanley cup aud the Canadian championship, was played iu Winnipeg last night, between the Winnipeg Victo- torias, defenders, and the Toron'to Wellingtons,champions of the Ontario Hockey association. The result was 5 to 3 in favor of the Victorias. Alderman-elect Morrison of Columbia lefuses to quality unless the council agree to v»te themselves reasonable compensation for their time to be devoted to tbe city's interests. His head is level. This icUs of working for the sake ot being abused, is uot what it seems. Seattle. Jauu.iry 21.—Trinity Episcopal church was destroyed by fire early Monday morning. The church was built in 1890 at a cost of $65,000, and a $7,000 organ was installed last fall. Rev. H. H. Gowan, formerly ot Vancouver and Westminster, is the reetor.
