TWICE-A-WEEK
Scotchmen's Night
An Elaborate Banquet at  the
Hotel Last Evening
Yale
Eloquent Speeches, Sweet Music, Choice Viands and Wines
!..   ..J Heralds the Inauguration of the Local St.
Andrew's Society.
There have, been banquets and
banquets held in Grand Forks in
past years, but the one given last
night in the Yale hotel by the Scotchmen as an inaugural to the St. Andrew's society, whioh was formed
on that occasion, was the most
brilliant successful social function
over held here.
The spacious banqueting room of
the Yale was handsomely fitted up
and decorated for the occasion, and
when the guests, numbering 85, filed
in and took their places at the table
to the strains of sweet music, furnished by the Scotch piper, they
- presented a scene that will not be
forgotten by any who looked upon
it for years to come.' The table pi*e-
sented a lovely appearance, and was
loaded with the choicest delicacies
of the. season, including salads,
radishes, sliced chicken, tuckey,
duck, goose, tongue, hagis, jelly and
cream, choice confectionery, cake,
and everything that the appetite
could desire. After ample justioe
had been done to all tbe good things
on the badquet board, the dishes
were cleared away and a supply of
choice wines and cigars was brought
on, and thc second par/ of the program, that of toasts, was commenced. '   *..
Mr. Richard Whitesides occupied
the chair, and carried out the duties
of that office in.a highly satisfactory
manner, reflecting the greatest credit
on his ability to act in that cipneify.
In a few well chosen remarks he
thanked the Scotchmen for the honor
they had conferred on him by appointing him to the chair of so important a' gathering as was congregated hero tonight. He then called
for tho nomination of officers for the
en'tiing year of tho Grand Forks St.
Andrew's society. The first nomination was to fill the position of
honorary president, and tho namo
of N. McLellan was proposed and
Harried unanimously. The next was
on the list wob that of president, to
which office D. D. Munro was elected
by a unanimous vote. Dr. K. C.
MacDonald was nominated for vice
president, and was elected by acclamation.
Tho toast to tho king was then
amid proposed enthusiasm. All stood
up and drank to his health and sang
"God Save the King." The next
was a toast song by A. Waugh,
which was rendered in a splendid
manner, calling forth an enthusiastic
encore. Mr. Waugh's song was replied to by John D. Spence, who in
a clear and able speech did Bobby
Burns great credit. He eulogized
the great poet of the Scotish people,
saying that no loan's memory was
was more cherished, honored and
loved by the Scotch people. The
speaker paid a high tribute to Scot
land, the land of his birth. He
praised the Scotch for their spirit of
bravery, daring, and, above all, their
clanishness.
A toast song by Horace Pember-
ton, entitled "The Land of Burns,''
was one of the treats of the evening.
His rendition of the song was splendid, and he received an ovation, the
applause lasting for several minutes
after resuming his seat. The song of
Mr. Pemberton was responded to by
Rev. Mr. Ross, late of Vancouver,
but now of thiB city! "nd Duncan
Ross, of Greenwood. Rev. Mr. Ross
ably upheld the Scotch and th
land of their birth, paying a high
tribute to their great bravery in war
at all times, never knowing such a
thing as fear. He also eulogized
Bobbie Burns. Duncan Ross, in
[replying, made one of the-great orations of the evening. It was a great
pleasure, for him to be present on so
great an occasion, the 145th mini
versary of the greatest poet of his
age, Bobbie Burns, arid he congratulated the Scotch citizens of Grand
Forks for such enthusiasm as was
shown in having so successful a gathering. He hoped to be present with
the citizens of Grand ForitB in thc
near future, hut laughingly remarked
that the gathering would not be
quite so harmonious. Referring to
Mr. Burrell, his opponent in the
coming election, he said he felt Bare
that gentleman would labor under a
great disadvantage in not being able'
to talk Gaelic.
A bagpipe selection, "Cock of the
North," was given by Piper S. Carruthers, after which *a Gaelic song
waB rendered by J. C. Macdonald
and X. McLellan.
The toast, "Our Fair Dominion,"
was proposed in song hy Geo. E.
Ewing, who sang "The Maple Leaf
Forever." Neii McCallum was down
to respond to this toast, but unfor*
tunately he was called away by the
sudden illness of his nephew, J. A.'
McCallum. His name was substituted hy that of Martin Burrell,
who, in an eloquent and witty
speech, upheld the honor of our fair
Dominion in a very worthy manner.
The toast, "The City of Grand
Forks," was. replied to in a very appropriate speech hy Mayor Jeffrey
Hammar. On several occasions he
had to wait until tho applause und
laughter had subsided. .
."Our Southern Neighbors" was responded to by Dr. E. R. Xorthrop,
and to say that it was done in successful style is putting it mildly.
He is a past master in after-dinner
speaking. His speech was brimful
of brilliant wit and humor, and kept
the guests in peals of laughter. The
applause was fairly deafening as he
took his seat.
The toast "Mining and Smelting
Industry," was responded to in n
very masterful way by A. Munroe,
vice president of the Montreal &
Boston Copper company, and R. A,
Brown, of the Volcanic. Mr. Munroe spoke of the mineral industry of
our province, pointing the
wealth which lay at our doors'.
"The Press," wis proposed by W.
A. Harken, of the News-Gazette,
who in a few well chosen remarks
ably handled that subject in a fitting
manner. Josh Anderson, represent
ing The Evening Sun, responded to
the toast in a brief, speech.
"The Ladies" was the host toast
on the program, and trie subject was
well handled by Dr. K. C. MaoDon-
ald.
A vote of thanks was tendered the
chairman, and the singing of "He is
a Jolly Good Fellow" brought the
evening's entertainment to a close.
The greatest credit is due the committee which had the affair in hand,
as all details were carried out in a
most satisfactory manner.
Quite a flurry of excitement was
raised at the Great Northern depot
last Sunday morning just as the train
was ready to pull out for Spokane.
A man who stopped over night at
the Queen's hotel, left that place
without settling his bill, denying
that he had stayed there and refusing point blank to pay. The proprietor followed him to the station,
and after a vain attempt (o collec1
his. bill before the man got aboard
tbe train, proceeded to take his
.money's worth in "right hand on
jaw" and "left on nose" in regular
Fitzsimmons style until the other
fellow had had enough. Then they
were separated, the hot '1 proprietor
returning to his hostelry with his
opponent's t.at as a souvenir.
A surprise party composed of a
number of young folks invaded the
home ' of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Petrie
last Saturday evening, and enjoyed
very pleasant time. Games and
music were indulged in, nnd all
were unanimous in voting Mr. nnd
Mrs. Petrie the best of entertainers.
In addition to the above list
there is also another man employed
at the power house as oiler at a
salary of $50 per mouth.
H. C. Hanington and Ernest Miller returned last Saturday from Kamloops, where they attended the Conservative convention as delegates
from this city.
N. D. Mcintosh, second-hand
denier, is moving his stock of goods
from his present store on Second
street to thc Morrison block, adjoining the postoffice, on First, where
he will hereafter conduct his business on a larger scale than ever.
This is Mr. Mcintosh's third removal to bigger quarters since locating in Grand Forks,, which speaks
well for his business enterprise.
Ira Gill and wife left Inst Sunday
for Spokane, where Mr. Gill was
called hy the serious illness of his
sister, who resides thirty miles south
of that city. She is not expected lo
live.

A third Shay locomotive was
added to the ore hauling equipment
of the C. P. R. on the Phoenix
branch last week. The new engine,
No. 1903, is ten tons heavier than
Nos. 1901 and 1902.   All three of
made public, but it is reported the these huge machines are kept busy
contract calls for work to be commenced on the properties immediately and to continue to the expiration of the bond, which is ninety
days. These two claims were at
one time owned by the Rath-
inullen people, but were allowed to
lapse, and were relocated by the
present owners. On one elaim an
assessment was done, which exposed
some fine looking copper ore assaying 6 per cent in that metal. The
Granhy company are showing great
confidence in that camp, as they
now have options on sonic half i a
dozen properties there, all of which
have good showings. The Senator,
which is under bond to them, is
proving a regular surprise. Ore is
being quarried from a glory hole on
the surface and shipped to the smelter with satisfactory results.

PHOENIX NEWS
i'i UESDAY, JANUARY -1'. tm
Lookinq over the monthly salary
pnyroll of the city, and figuring up
thc total for the year, which, in
round numbers, iB $25,000, it will
strike the average ratepayer as being
pretty high-r-and there is no doubt
that it is high for a city the size of
Grand Forks. And this sum does
y not include tho necessary expenses
for. the maintenance of the
fire, police and other departments,
which in the aggregate amount to
Bevcral thousand dollars. That
there is room for retrenchment none
will gainsay. Judging from'the re
cent statement of Mnyor Hammnr,
it is his intention to out down the
expenses as much as possible and
still run thc city government in a
thorough businesslike manner. We
may therefore expect to sec a decided reduction in the city's liabilities at tho end of thc present administration.
The little   "difficulty"  between
tiie C. P. Bi und the Great Northern
in this city Inst week over the ore
shipments from the Jumbo mine in'
Rosslnnd, hauled over the latter line
to this point, clearly demstrate*! that
tbe only way in whieh the Great
Northern tan secure its share of ore
tonnage is to construct its own spur
to the Granby smelter.
Liberal Resolutions

THE ESTIMATES
Tho estimates brought into the
legislature last week reveals the fnct
that the government intends to increase the revenues from t*2,193,-
47G.6(i tor the year ending June 30,
1904, to 82,522,076.66 for the year
ending June 30, 1905. Increases
nre expected under the head; of real
property tax from $135,000 lost year
to $250,000 thiH year, personal property tax from $85,000 to $200,000,
wild land tax from $55,000 to $100,-
000, and income tax from $40,000
$100,000. The federal government
refund under the Chineso Restriction
Act is estimated at $200,000 instead
of $ 100,000- for the past year. Under
tho mineral taxes thc estimates remain almost the Biime for the yenr,
81(0,000 eBtimnted increase, however,
standing under the head of free
miners' certificates. Timber taxes
are estimated to yield about the
same this year as they did last. The
sale of lands is put at $60,000 Icsb,
however.
In the estimated expenditure the
effects of the new loan of $1,000,800
is seen by an Increase from $517,-
329.31 to $668,079,81 under thc
head of public debt. This is niade
necessary'by $100,000 having to be
set aside for tho redemption of the
ten-year debentures. An increase in
the interest account occurs of $49,-
650. The effect of a reduction in the
civil service is seen by a reduced
estimated expenditure under that
head of about $20,000. In the administration of justice reductions
have been made. Under the bead
of legislation, by the increased representation, a slight increase occurs.
For maintenance of public institutions an increase is expected in the
expenditure of about $17,500. The
aid to hospitals and charities has in
creased also, and vote to Bchools is
somewhat larger.
The distribution of the funds ap
propriatcd for the interior districts
is made as follows:

A Revival.of Roque.
An outdoor, game tor old men haa
•howed a marked revival in popularity
tali year la tho United Sta tea. Koque la
IU game, and it if interesting and gentle.. Croquet la the parent of the word
roque. Take away from the term croquet IU first letter and IU last, and the
term roque remain*. In like manner,
take away from the game of croquet IU
foolishness, and its inaccuracies, and the
game oi roque it left, lay the roque expert*,' '	
Roque la a game as scientific aa billiards, but its rules resemble croquet's
rule*. There'la a peg, like a croquet
peg, at eaoh end of the court) there
are nine wickets, like croquet wloketa,
set in • regular oroquethke pattern)
there are balle to shoot through the
wloketa) just aa In.croquet, and there
are mallets; like croquet mallets, wherewith to hit these balls. But the roque
court Is'as firm and smooth as a billiard table, and jts boundaries are of
rubber, to that balls may carom from
them at. from. .a. billiard-table's cushion*'
The balls themselves are solid rubber.
The Wickets, of bright steel, are only
one-quarter of an inch broader at their
base. than th* balls that must be shot
through, them, The.abort mallets are
tipped with rubber, and bound .with
brass or silver, and the material used iu
their making Is rosewood or Turkish
boxwood or lignum vitas or amaranth.
Roque, in a word, is croquet, .but oro.
quet perfected, croquet made scientitle
Rare It the skill that its disciples acquire, and admirable are the'improve
meaU that the game make* in their
health, „,.     . .,-^....»^ ■„„
It is Interesting to consider the care
with which a roque court is made.. The soi:
first is dug out to a level about two, feel
below'the one .which the court will ulti
mately have.. A base is then, made oi
big stones, and.cinders, and on this bast
layers of smaller and smaller stones art-
set, until finally, there is a top layer ol
fine gravel. The gravel is covered wlti
a four-Inch coat of richest, purest day.
and after this has: been mathematically
levelled, and rolled to * bricklike firm
neas, it is sanded with a tiny sifting ol
white tea sand,. The court's dimension-
art seventy-two by thirty-six feet, »n'
Ha boundaries of wood have rubbei
cushions, shaped like, pool or billiard-
table cushions, which present to the ball
a sharp edge, to that it will rebound
from them briskly. The court Is rolled
dally, first with a heavy, and afterward
with * light, roller. It is daily water*!
and landed,.and after every game the
ground about the wickets it levelled
with a ninewbod levelling board.   -
A Water Contest.
A story In which a pointer's loyalty.
persiatenee and foolhardiness are mixed
in' about equal proportions ia quoted be
low from the New York "Sun."   Poin'
>rs are not naturally .good water dogs
iut some of the   breed, at   sportsmen
;now, come near perfection, and such nn
-xception is a dog owned by a Texai
tamed Burleson.
One night Mt. .Bur|eson shot a wilt
| oose vflnch was flying over to Its jalgli
etreat in. a salt  bay.    The  bird  wa
>ing-tipped, came down on, a long elan
nd fell- into a' tank a quarter of * mil
ut.' The dog did not notice it.
The next morning Mr. Burleson w.:
.'ailklng over the prairie with the do;.-
nd found the bird quietly a-wlmmln
n * pond not more than a quarter of t-
ere la extent, but deep. It was- in pc;
eat condition, except    for its . tligli
vound, * large gander, nnd very powi-
ill
The dog recognized. Instantly that,, i
-vat a wounded bird, and  plunged I
vithout a word   of   command, ,.*!».)
ittlt while the gander kept, out of tli
ray, but it vra* finally penned in a cot
ler.   Then.H dived, wciit,under the' Jo
.nd came up five yards awjiy. ......   n
■ The dog resumed the. chase, and tl>
unequal contest was kept up,for a qua:
ter of an hour. The dog dived time afti
time, but of. course could not catch it
aottvt adversary. Soon It was swim
ming with lu nostrils barely out of wr,
ter, *nd oa.ee or twice they went undo,
tt wa* deaf to all commands. .It*, fin;;
drowning was only a matter of niinute:
Mr. Burleson had no gun. As a 1*4
recourse ht gathered a little pile of ttonc
from the edge of the pond and begn
hurling them at the gander, Finally, b,i
chance, he struck It on the back near thi
bate ot the neck and stunned it .for./
moment. Ia that moment the dog cloaVi
ind grasped It. , ,,.,,
The dog was to tired that it, could d>
nothing with, the bird, but. its lu/ld Jtehj
IU head out of water while the ganuVi
thrathed It, with Its wings. Tiie .battling
pair, the distressful inortlngs of. the do-:
mingled afl'h th* hoarse raUs.,qf,Jtl|e,gi(t/
der, fought their way to. within tep, feat
of the bank, and Mr. Burleson jumped,q
The water, came to hi* a-nnpj'ts jff^ea
he reached them, but hc,ghiU,b,,d,.th> gander, took the dog In one hand apd t,h<-
bird In the other, and ., brought , t.heip
ishore. The pointer was too ,e*;hau*('f.d
to stand, but fell on the pebbly shore
md lay there panting.

GOOD SERVICE is composed 6f two elements'
—excellence of the work and promptness in
the execution. Bad work executed promptly is not good Bervice—good work delivered behind
time is not good Bervice; but the two combine to
make one of the most necessary, but hardest to obtain and often most expensive, requirements of the
twentieth century business man. That we have
learned the lesson in theory we have shown. Our
customer") will1 testify that we have also learned it
in practice.

At to the history of coffee, the le-
gend runs that it was lirst found
growing wild in Arabia. Hadji Omar,
a dervish, discovered it in 1285, six
hundred and seventeen yeara ago. He
wat dying of hunger in the wilderness,
when, finding some small round berries,
he tried to eat rhem, but they were bitter. He tried roasting them, and these
he finally steeped in some water held Ir.
the hollow of his hand, and found the
decoction as refreshing as if he had p*r-
taken of solid food. He hurried !>:"■'. ' 1
Mocha, from which he had been baniali ■•.
tnd, Inviting the wise men to partake •-'
his discovery, tbey were en well plea-,-,.
with it that they made him a saint.
The ttory It told, writes Thomas li,
Dawley, jr., In "Success," that coffee «*.*«
Introduced Into the West Indies In 1723.
by Chirac, a French physician, who gave
a Norman gentleman by the name of De
Ciieux, a captain of infantry on his w.i.r
to Martinique, a tingle plant. The sea
voyage was a stormy one, the vessel was
driven out of her course, and drinking
water became so scarce that it was distributed in. rations. De Clleux, with an
affection for his coffee plant, dlvidid Iii'
{lortion of water with it, and suerecil-,1
n bringing it to Martinique, although
weak, not Tn a hopeless condition. There
he planted it in his garden, protected ii
with a fence of thorns, and watched it
daily until the end of the year, when he
Ssthered two pounds of coffee, which he
Istrlbuted among the inhabitants of the
island to be planted by them, from
Martinique coffee trees in turn were sent
to Santo Domingo, Guudaloupe and other
neighboring island*
The collet tree It in evergreen slmili.
growing, in Itl natural state, to a height
of fourteen to eighteen feet. It la usual-
ly kept trimmed, however, for convenience In picking the berries, which grow
along the branches close to the leaves
and resemble In shape and color ordinary cherries. The tree cannot be grown
abort tht frott line, neither can It be
successfully grown in the tropics, Tho
most successful climate for production Is
thtt found tt tn altitude of about four
thousand feet. Anything much above
thlt ia in dinger of frost, which li fatal
to the trcej tnd, when coffee 1« grown
much below this, it requires artificial
■hade, which materially Increases thc
cost of production and noes not' produce
ae marketable berries. It Is owing to
this particular requirement that coffee
hat never been successfully produced
north ot the Mexican boundary.
Logic*!
An Irishman entered « country Inn
and called for a glass of the best Irish
whiskev. Alter being supplied he drank
it, and'was about to walk out when the
following conversation  took  place:
Landlord- Here, sir. you haven't paid
