A GOOD RESOLUTION At the meeting of the Grand Forks Liberal association held last week the following resolution was unanimously adopted; and it was agreed to submit it to other associations in the province for endorsement, and to f forward a copy to the Dominion government: "Whereas, since the advent to power of the Liberal party in 1896, the prosperity of Canada has marvellously increased, and whereas, all employers of lahor, in whatsoever capacity, in consequence have granted liberal additions to the pay of their employees; and whereas, the Dominion government, while dealing generously on the whole with their eastern civil servants, has ^ not recognized that in British Columbia the cost of living and of all manufactured goods is very much higher than in the older provinces; therefore, be it resolved, that the Grand Forks Liberal association urges the Dominion government to consider the case of their British Columbia employees, and to grant an increase in salary such as shall bring their standard of comfort to an equal with that of their eastern ^brethren, consideration being given ' to length of service, merit and local cost of living." Everybody cordially invited to attend the pavilron dance at the Hotel Winnipeg, Grand Forks, B. C, on the evening of July 1st, Dominion Day. Galliher's orchestra of Spokane will furnish the music. Tickets $1.00, ladies free. SUNSET SAUNTERINGS Monday information was current that the surveying crews of theV., V. & E., which have been operating in this section for a year or more, had been ordered in, their instruments prepared for shipment, and that Mr. Kennedy's office is to be closed. We could not make inquiry of Mr. Kennedy today as he was out of town, but the report apparently is well based. It is said, however, that a gang of men is now engaged in moving the Newby bamoff smelter spu r right of way. Scarcity of laborers and an insufficient tonage guarantee, are among the supposed reasons for the present delay. Mr. T. Smith, of Columbia, is in line, it is said, to come into posses-^ sion of a valuable inheritance, through the death of an aunt in the old country. It appears that the aunt referred to died some time ago, the solicitors of the estate left by the deceased having since been active in a search for the rightful heirs. Mr. Smith wrote this aunt some time previous to her demise on one of N. McLellan & Co.'s letterheads, which fell into the hands of the solicitor, from whom that firm received a letter of inquiry concerning Mr. Smith to which the latter has made reply, and has only to prove his identity to take possession of his share, the value of which is not yet known. A large number of Grand Forks enthusiasts went up to Danville last Sunday to witness the ball game between the Granby smelter team and the Danvilles. The game resulted: Danville'19. Granby Smelter. The "Wise Woman" company gave a very meritorious rendition of this breezy play at the Biden opera house last night. The house was packed, notwithstanding the torrid atmosphere prevailing. The play was funny enough to keep everybody in good humor. Government Agent W. G. McMynn, accompanied by his wife and daughter, was a guest at the Hotel Winnipeg this week. Mr. A. A. Freshette, an oldtimer of Columbia, leaves tomorrow for Spokane where he is introducing a patented device of his own invention. The wheel, spUrs and whip rattled by him Monday night were won by —John Fee, the wheel; — Duncan, the spurs and Oscar Gendreon, the whip. The Conservative association will meet in Biden's opera house Friday night. To partizans of their point of view it will be an important occasion, and the rank and file, inspired by and enthusiasm characteristic of the wild and woolly west, are expected and requested to be present. It is expected that the Trail and Northport baseball clnhs will play in this city during the Dominion day celebration. The Grand Forks baseball team will play a match game with the Rossland club in Rossland next Sunday. J. H. Kennedy, chief engineer of the V., V. & E., went out to Midway yesterday, returning to the city this afternoon. A delightful time was enjoyed by about 75 couples who attended the the third annual barn dance given Friday night by the popular dairyman, G. W. Floyd and his estimable wife. . Phoenix Oddfellows are being represented in grand Modge session at Vancouver by D. Whiteside. Sunday afternoon the local lodge of Oddfellws marched in body to the cemetery and decorated the graves of departed brethren. An enjoyable social was held in their lodge rooms Friday night by the K.

This week it is said survey work will be begun on an electric tramway between Kettle Falls and Rickey Rapids at the head of steamboat navigation on the Columbia river. This proposed road will form a link connecting the Great Northern with the Columbia river line of boats and afford an outlet for much farm produce. R. B.

Address all communications to The Evening Sun, Phone 55. Columbia, b. c. TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1903 The questions are often asked, "Why do the Conservatives parade under the hyphenated banner-lettering of 'Liberal-Conservatives.' Are there two factions in the party, one libaral and the other illiberal, or do they really have long ears and wear doleful, downcast countenances of the mulish character?" We leave these qustions to be answered by the expounders that political gospel. Why should so mucn ado be made over the adoption of party-line methods in provincial politics? In Federal politics there always has been a distinct party division. Of course it is going to play hob with the old, privately owned political machine at Victoria, but that will be a result which should bring delight to the mind of the inland voter and taxpayer, as it should be the means of emancipating him from enforced servitude to a band of traffickers in government prestige. It will also result in rattling some of the imperial golddust off the crowns of the government officials, many of Avhom, under the former system, had become severely autocratic and dictatorial, ignoring the rights and interests of their neighbors and recognizing only the political behests of the bosses at the coast. The party line system will give interior voters an opportunity to command more respect from government reprerent- atives. The Liberals of Phoenix are alive to the new political conditions, and are pulling themselves together preparatory for battle royal which will have to be fought in the approaching campaign. The Conservatives are not idle by any means; in fact, with a Conservative in control of the government, they pride themselves with being in possession of thc whip row,andare rapidly emerging from their former comatose state. There is need for immediate and effective effort on the part of the Liberals in this riding, which consists mainly of Grand Forks, Phoenix and Cascade. On Thursday last the Phoenix Liberal Association reorganized with the following officers: President, Wm. Delahay; Vice-President, M. W. Roy; 2d Vice-President, J. B. Boyle; 3d Vice-President, John ]McRae; Sec.-Treas., Ed. H. Mortimer; Executive Committee;— Officers above named, and A. J. McDonald, J. E. Mills, N. Palorcia, 0 W. Greer and Thomas Hardy. Grand Forks and Cascade Liberal associations had previously been reorganized. The first and most needful work ou the part of these local orgaizations, is to enlarge their mem- ships to the greatest degree possible, and then the members should set to work to get every voter in the riding listed on the new voters list, which is'required to be made before every general election. Under the new party-line system, it will first be necessary to set a date for the riding nominating convention, and to name the place for holding the same. All of the associations in the riding should he conferred with, and whatever place and time may be clearly the choice of the voters should be selected. This may be done by each association selecting one its members to serve as an executive committeeman, those so elected to constitute such committee. When the time and place for the riding convention shall have been fixed then each association will proceed to elect the number of delegates to which they are entitled, which will also be fixed by the executive committee referred to, the allotments being based on the memberships of the different associations.

WHY GO EAST Over the sun-burned, sage brush and alkali plains, when you may just as well take a delightful, cool and comfortable ride through the heart of the Rocky Mountains in view of the grandest scenery on thc American continent? This you can do by travelling on the Rio Grande system, the far- famed "Scenic Line ofthe World," the only transcontinental line passing through Salt Lake City, Glen- wood Springs, Leadville, Colorado Springs and Denver enroute to eastern points. Three daily express trains make close connections with all trains east and west, and afford a choice of five distinct routes of travel. The equipment of these trains is the best, including free reclining chair cars, standard and tourist sleepers, a per- lect dining car service, and also personally conducted excursion cars, each in charge of a competent guide, whose business is to look after the comfort of his guests. No more pleasant and inexpensive means, of crossing the continent can be found than is provided by these excursions. For additional details address J. D. Mansfield, Gen.
