Legislative Librtry Victoria B C tlbe Sun f Vol. . | (poStof«c?e) Grand Forks, B. C, Tuesday, September 1, 1903 NoJ87 Favors the Establishment of ?.■. High School in This City. Mayor Burrell presided at last night's meeting of the city council. The aldermen present yvere Feeney, Caw, Martin, McCallum and McLellan. The clerk read a letter from L. P. Eckstein. Mr. Miller had requested the writer to perform the duties connected with the office of city solicitor during his absence from the city. Mr. Eckstein placed him at the disposal of the council. An invitation was read from the city of New Westminster to the members of the council to attend the Royal Agricultural Exhibition in that city next October. The clerk was instructed to forward a suitable ac- dnowledgement of the same. During a discussion on the question of building porches over the entrances to the school h^use, Aid. McLellan reiterated the statements he made last week in opposition to the scheme. Aid. Martin, the new chairman of the public works committee, thought the construction of the approaches would be a very expenses piece of work when compared with the benefits to be derived from them. The roof of the porches, according to the plans, would only extend two feet beyond the eaves of the roof of the school house, and th; danger from falling snow and ice would not be lessened by their construction. It would cost $300 to erect these approaches, he said; it wouldn't cost the interest on that amount to keep the roof of the school house free from snow. Aid. McCallum, while not in favor of the contemplated improvement at the present time, on account of the state of the city treasury, said he wished it distinctly understood that as soon as our financial condition would permit it, he would heartily approve of any stepB taken tending to enhance the safety of the pupils and add additional i beauty to the general appearance of the school house. The question of establishing a high school was thoroughly discussed, and the efforts of the school trustees in this direction were heartily endorsed by the mayor and aldermen. All agreed^ an opportune ti: public necessity to the city. In order to strengthen the endeavors of the school trustees in this matter, a resolution was drafted and unanimously passed, stating that, as the city could fulfil all the requirements of the law in this connection, the time for the estalilmishment of a high school in this city had now arrived, and promising the school board the hearty approval and support of any action they might deem necessary to accomplish this object. Aid. Caw called attention to the fact that, as a result of lowering the grade on the Winnipeg avenue hill. near the Methodist parsonage, the one-inch Water pipe would also have to be lowered to keep it from catching cold next winter. This course would also have to be pursued in regard to the pipe on Fourth street, near Observation mountain, The matter was left to the discretion of the chairman of the water and light committee. Aid. Martin drew attention to the need of grading First street, north of Winnipeg avenue; also upper Riverside and Wellington avenues. Referred to public works committee, with power to act. Mayor Burrell, in answer to a query from Aid. Martin, said that all arrangements had been made for the reception and entertainment of the members of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of the Empire. The delegates will arrive in the city on the 14th and 15th hist. Aid. Gaw casually remarked that the smelter people didn't seem to pay any attention to the city's protests against dumping slag in the river. Mayor Burrell—I think they stopped for a short time. Aid. Gaw—Yes, when the smelter was closed down. Mr. Knapp was present and asked for a further extension of time in which to complete the Bridge street) bridge, advancing as a reason fur doing so his inability to get the material on the ground when promised him. The council appeared to be loth to grant the request, and adjourned without taking a vote on the question. The mayor expressed the hope that when they met again the bridge would be completed. The executive of the Grand Forks branch of the Lord's Day Alliance of Canada will meet at the Methodist parsonage, Winnipeg avenue, Friday evening, Sept. 4th, at 8 o'clo^k^ This snaaial meeting is to Government Inspector of Schools A. C. Stewart, of Vancouver, arrived in the city yesterday, and at once begun to investigate the advisability of the establishment of a high school in Grand Forks. Mr. Stewart is favorably impressed with our claims for such an institution of learning, and last night he informed the school trustees that he would make a recommendation to the government favoring the opening of the school. As everybody in the city heartily supports the project, it is quite evident that Grand Forks will soon become the educational centre of the Boundary district. The Pioneers' Association of Kettle VMley are holding a banquet at Carson this evening. R, R. Gilpin, thc secretary, has issued about one hundred invitations. A jolly time is anticipated by thc old timers. Geo. A. MacLeod and Frank Fritz left today for Thunder Hill mining camp to inspect some properties that they are interested in. rI\ey will be absent ten days. The west-bound C. P. R. passenger train was five hours late yesterday on account of the burning, Sunday night, of Porcupine bridge, east of Bulldog tunnel. The bridge was about 100 ft. high andj over 250 feet long. It is estimated that it will take fully ten days to rebuild it. In the meantime the passenger trains will meet at that point and transfer passengers and baggage. A large party of Grand Forks people will start next Thursday on a pleasure trip to Coleman, Alia., thc new town just started at the International Coal & Coke company's mines, for the purpose of inspecting the coal properties of that company. Mr. Henry White, who is known to fame as the locator of the Old Ironsides mine, returned to the city last Friday from a three months' tour through the Okanagan country. He left yesterday for his home in Spokane. James Addison is make preparations to move his building, formerly occupied by the board of trade, from Riverside avenue to First street, next to the Manly block. and left for that section last Saturday.

The Tory papers are still criticising the Grand Trunk bargain. Compare thc salient features of the contract with the terms which were granted to the Canadian Pacific in the session of 1881. Twenty-five million acres of land were granted to the Canadian Pacific, not an acre of land is granted to the Grand Trunk Pacific. Twenty-five million dollars' ware paid in cash to the Canadian Pacific, and works were handed over to that company which had been built by the government at the expense of the Canadian people at a cost of at least $35,000,000. Therefore the cash aid given the Canadian Pacific was in the neigh* l.ochood of $60,000,000. The cash smisidy which is promised, and which is to be given under this contract to the Grand Trunk, will not exceed $13,000,000 or thereabouts. The nonservatives are welcome to all the political capital they can extract from this contract. It is a great gift to be versatile and" resourceful. While in the north Premier McBride told thc natives how generally acceptable the (Irand Trunk bjirgain was It ineanl the development of the northern reaches ' of th«)provinces. etc., etc. When he got brtck to his old camping grounds he decrys the agreement and says the senate should defeat it if it has the power. Speaking of the political situation locally, the Conservative leaders-are still on a "still hunt," while the Liberal ranks are gaining new members daily, and consequently becoming more certain of a sweeping victory on the 81st of next month. Liberal Manifesto The new Liberal manifesto, containing a revised platform of the party, combined with an address to the electors of the province, has been completed by the executive of the Provincial Liberal Association. Half a dozen new planks have been inserted in the platform, but outside of this no changes of particular iui- iior^nce have been made to alter the IBs _laii_diayn in the the first addition is a plank stating that the Liberal party in this province strongly favors a reform in the civil service and the existing system of appointments to public positions. This is stated only in general terms, and will be enlarged upon by speakers during the campaign. The next new plank favors the building of a number of new trailsahd trunk roads in different sections, especially to open outlying portions of British Columbia. The third new plank deals with the necessity of introducing systems of irrigation on fanning lands of the interior and fruit lands of the Okanagan and unwatered parts of the Fraser valley having been specially mentioned by several of the delegates, A fourth new plank emphasizes the need of a short line between the coast and Kootenay, and the value of the results to be gained therefrom. - The fifth plank is strongly opposed to the operation and continuance of the 2 per cent mining tax. Two other planks favor different public works of various importance and are stated in general terms. The principal change noticeable in the terms of the planks as they previously existed is in that which refers to compulsory arbitration, and tnis is a change more of wording than of sentiment, in order the more closely to fit the changing necessities in the province. No mention is made in the platform of the timber question, although the matter received a thorough discussion. There are no staatling features in the main address to provincial Liber5 als, calling on them to give support to the candidates chosen by conventions for the different ridings. The name of Mr. Joseph Martin, former Liberal leader, is not mentioned in the address, which is finally signed by Mr. Stuart Henderson as president and Mr. T. S. Baxter as secretary, of the Provincial Association. !ui regard to leadership, the plan outlined and for which the endorsement of the electors is asked, is that four membtjjrs of the executive shall call together the elected Liberals of the House after the. election is over, and that these members of the new Legislature shall chose a leader. Messrs. Stuart Henderson, T. S. Baxter, J. A. McDonald, head of Kootenay Liberals, and Wm. Sloan, organ- izT on Vancouver island, will call together the elected members before the session of the house is opened. Until then no action is to be taken regarding the leadership, and present plans do not include another meeting of the provincial executive before the campaign has finished. HOTEL ARRIVALS. YALE. G.

SLACK, ,3 ' W. B. WILL an. N A number of former members of the local branch of the American Labor union, being dissatisfied with the stand taken in putting forward an avowed socialist as their candidate at the forthcoming provincial election for Grand Forks riding, have severed their connection with that organization, and have formed a local branch of the Dominion Trades and Labor Congress, of which organization Thomas Foulston was recently appointed organizer for this district. At a recent meeting of those interested, after the objects of the Labor Congress had been fully explained, and a number of those present had given their views as to what a labor union should endeavor to secure, the local branch of the Trades and Labor Congress was formed, with the1 following list of officers: President, Archie Hardy-; vicejpresident, pro tern, Wm. Hoffman; seerettiry-trcsisurer, Benjamin SweCzy; recording secretary, Andrew Mcllvaine; conductor, Murdock McKenzie; correspondent, Fred Grant. The other officers will be chosen from employees of the other shift. It was decided to name the new union Grand Forks Smelterm fin's Federal Union, Dominion Labor Congress. The pew organization will be-of a non-political character. "There is nothing new under the sun." "Well, what of it?" "It gives a lot of people in this city capital excuse for their inactivity."

Hay, McCallu m & Wright Mining and Real Estate Dealers BOUNDARY MINK AND SMELTERS The seven-drill compressor recently purchased in Rossland will be received at the Oro Denoro mine this week, and, as tbe concrete foundations have already been prepared, it will be set up in a short time. When this is done the shipments will be materially increased from the present rate of two to four cars daily, and the ore can be placed on the cars more economically. The smelter people wish to get all of this ore available, as it is desirable for mixing with the regular supply of ore from other mines, making an admirable flux. An electric light plant is also to be installed at the mine at an earjy date, which will serve that property, as well as the townsite, for lighting purposes. From an investigation made by Master Mechanic Fraser, of the Granby mines, a brother of the man who was slightly hurt last week, the explosion of the two high pressure cylinders in the new compressors was not as serious in the way of material damage as at first anticipated, says the Phoenix Pioneer. Some new parts for the mammoth machines will have to come from the makers in the east. The two compressors being duplicates, Admit of the parts being interchangeable. Thus it was possible last week to get one of the 30 drill machines in order for use. In the meantime both the old Knob Hill and Old Ironsides compressors were pressed into service temporarily, each having a capacity of ten drills.

Total, 4776 tons. The heavy framework of the new Granby compressor house at Phoenix is up. Some of the timbers are 12x14 inche.a and over 60 feet long. The building will be 62x120 feet over all. An endeavor will be made to get it enclosed during the good weather, One of "the oldest high-grade claims in the Boundary is the Skylark, in Skylark camp, [t has been recently sampled, with good results, with a view to being bonded. Work at trie B. ('. mine has been resumed with an increased force of men, and shipments will shortly be made to the Mother Lode smelter. A. H. Lawder, of Greenwood, has been appointed accountant at the mine, and he and his family will move there. A. F. Goodell, superintendent of tbe Sunset smelter, and Harry Johns, superindent of the mine, are expected back from Montreal this week. As soon as they return work will be resumed both at the smelter and the mine. . The smelter is re- • ceiving daily shipments of coke. The British Columbia Copper Co.'s Mother Lode smelter at Greenwood was blown in again last Wednesday morning, after being cold for a couple of months on account of a coke shortage. . A shipment from the Providence mine to the Trail smelter recently of 87,504 pounds, or 43f tons, gave a net return of $6,367.51, or about $l'4o per ton. .The exploitation of the high-grade properties in the immediate vicinity of the city, says the Greenwood Times, is developing-into an industry of considerable importance. At the ProvitleneV the force of men will be increased and tegular shipments will lie maintained. At the Gold Finch, above tbe city ball, Messrs. Sutherland and MacDohald have two shifts of four men at work. Another ear of high-grade ore is ready for shipment to the Trail sincltA A tunnel is being driven into trie hill to cross-out the vein about M0 feet below where the lirst shipment was taken from the surface. Another lead that apparently runs at right angles to the main vein will also be prospected. The ore gives high gold values and admits of easy treatment; in fact, the smelter management sajij it is the easiest high- grade ore to treat that wits ever received at the smelter. Twenty tons will be sent to trail early next week. D. A.
