After having been closed down for a week to permit of the blowers being connected with tbe two new furnaces, the Granby smelter has again resumed operations. Two furnaces were blown in last Tuesday, another one yesterday, and the fourth will be started up today. All the machinery for the two new furnaces has not yet arrived, and they will probably not be blown until about the 1st of next / month. When the two new furnaces are blown in, the Granby smelter will commence treating 2000 ton's of ore per day, and there will be an addition of about 105 men to the payroll of the mine at Phoenix and the smelter in this city. With the completion of furnaces No 5 and 6 the present smelter is fully completed. The Granby company, however, expects next year to commence the erection of a duplicate smelter with a capacity of 2000 tons a day. The mine at Phoenix is equipped to handle 5000 tons of ore a day. Some apprehension is expressed by the management on account of the scarcity of laborers. So many Ooiindary miners have caught the Poplar creek fever, that the fear i.- imtertained tbat the company may soon find itself shorthanded. Seventy more muckers and 35 machine miners are needed, and 35 more ■'""~ men at the furnaces could be used. Last Night's Meeting The Socialists of Grand Forts riding opened the campaign last by holding a lal'y in Federal Union ball, at which speech* 8 were delivered by K. T. Kingsley, of Nanaimo, Socialist, and W. H. P. Clement, of this city, who defended the Liberal cause. The meeting was not very well attended, ami at no time did the audience evince any great amount of enthusiasm. Mr. Kingsley made a characteristic Socialistic speech, in which all capitalists were characterised as robbers and parasites. After Mr. Kingsley had concluded the opposition candidates were called for, but there were no opposition candidates present, ^•AUcment, being called for, macflH^ort and able speech, iit-whieh he showed that the Liberal party had always been the laboring man's best friend., Mr. Clement stated that he spoke as a private citizen, and not of a candidate.

Mr. Manly is as sanguine-as ever of the future great- nessVpf Grand Forks. His smelter project, he says, will be sure to materialize next spring. Geo. MacLeod and Frank Fritz returned last Tuesday from a week's trip to Thunder Hill camp. It hjj Greenv vas wesl ggested, says the eir servatives should carry a gun. In no other way can they secure the promise of support. Services will be held in the MethjJ odist church next Sunday both morning and evening at the usual hours by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Betts. Several mines in the vicinity of Greenwood are calling for more men, but are unable to secure them. A considerable number of incii could find profitable employment in the Boundary at present. Jay P. Graves, general manager of the Granby Consolidated, will leave Spokane tomorrow for Montreal and the east, and will attend the annual meeting of the Granby company there on October 6. Mr. Graves thinks it is possible that the company then may declare its first dividend. The paying of it will rest on a question of policy. After leaving Montreal he will visit Boston to tile the official statements with the stock exchange, where Granby is listed. The negotiations commenced a few weeks ago for the transfer of the Volcanic property, ten miles north of this city, to a Michigan syndicate, came to successful conclusion this week, when the first payment was made on a working bond on the mine. A diamond drill will arrive in this city a few weeks hence, when active development work will be started under the supervision of R. A. Brown. Rev. J. R. Robertson will conduct services in Knox Presbyterian church next Sabbath at the nsual hours, both morning and evening. Dr. Westwood, L. A. Manly, Jeff Davis, II. N. Galef, J. G. Driscoll, Tony Dunham, James Anderson and Smith Bros., contractors, returned yesterday from Coleman, Alta. Next Sunday, Sept. 13th, the Knights of Pythias of (irand Forks Lodge No. 30 will hold their annual church parade at Holy Trinity church. All knights or visiting knights are earnestly requested to meet at Castle hall at 7 p.m. Services willibe conducted by the Rev. Henrv Steele. HOTEL ARRIVALS. YALE. E. L. Thomas, J. A.

LABOR DAY AT PHOENIX Phoenix, Sept. 9.—While the first day of the third annual Labor day celebration here was somewhat damp, the weather was all that could be desired the second day, and the events took place without, interruption. • In the morning the first event was a log-rolling contest, Twin creek being dammed up for the occasion. There were five entries for this, and it created almost endless amusement for the large number of spectators. The first money went to Frank Rior- den, with Sam Mullin second. In thc hub and hub hose reel race,; Greenwood failed to appear,although they had expected to come. First money was won by the Phoenix team, with Grand Forks second. In the wet test it required several runs to decide, two teams being entered from Phoenix and one from Grand Forks. In the first run both Phoenix teams failed to get water, and the Grand Forks boys failed te get it in the agreed upon time limit. In the second run, No. 1 team from Phoenix made a good test, but No. 2 did better, and the Grand Forks team succeeded in making a tie, both getting water in 2S 3-5 seconds. By agreement the purse was divided. M. P. O'Neill secured the prize for putting the 21 lb, shot, making a distance of 37 feet, 5j inches. The standing high jump was won by A. Monro, and the running high jump by G. C. McLaughlin. Monro and McLaughlin got the prize in the three-legged race. In the cigar race J. Haverty was first, with J. Feeney second. There were a dozen races for boys and girls, which were pulled off, and created much amusement. On the whole, the celebration was a success, and the many visitors report having had a good time. Three electric arches were erected acroii the streets in different parts of, city, giving a ma pretty j ~ / 5tyr Etenmn; §ttn PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AMD FRIDAY EVENINGS AT GRAND FORKS, B.C., BY G.

Socialist orators maintain that the capitalist is a robber and a parasite, and that the laborer is entitled to everything. There are millions of dollars buried in the hills around this city, and thousands of idle working- men throughout the country. If the capitalist is useless, why don't these men come and dig it out and take all the profits. "The workingman owns the earth," says Mr. Kingsley. Surely, he wouldn't be so cruel as to have tbe country editors deported to some other planet. Here are a few Conservative candidates, with short sketches of their their past careers: x D. M. Eberts, who as attorney- general misled the house, wrongly advised the lieutenant-governor and almost succeeded in giving the Southeast Kootenay lands to the C. p. a. Richard McBride, who took Eberts' word for it, and who admits in his sworn testimony that he didn't take thc trouble to look into the matter. H. I). Helmcken, who deserted tbe opposition that he might support giving away thc northern portion of the province to aid the construction of a railway which the Dominion government is having built without alienating a foot oj public lands. Chas. E, l'oolcy, secretary of the Dunsmuir company, proclaimed friend of Chinese and an avowed enemy of labor unions. A. E. MePhillips, one of the three to oppose anti-Chinese legislation. Price Ellison, who would vote for anything and everything so long as he got a new jail for Vernon. jThere is a vast army of good unldngmei^yho have no "to s for them. But Socialist orators never mention this fact. A great many of the so-called capitalists have to work over eight hours a day to make the union scale of wages.. A hitherto unnoticed incident of a recent political convention deserves publicity. During the hours preceding themka- ing of set speeches the strife for recognition from the chairman was particularly keen. One long, lean fellow, dressed like a preacher, was evi n more persistent than the others. After many vain attempt to catch the chairman's eye, he began climbing over the benches, still soliciting notice. He was, perforce, recognized. "The gentleman from Blank has the floor," announced the chairman, and, with a rap of his gavel, silenced the crowd. Up marched lchabod to the front of the platform, where stood a table with a glass and a pitcher of water. "Gentlemen of the convention," he began, "I " And he halted and reached for the water. A few hasty gulps and he began again. "Gentlemen of the convention, I—" Again he lost his thought and dived madly for the pitcher. The crowd was becoming restless' and when for the third time he cleared his throat and began, "Gentlemen of theconvention," nerves were on edge. The unfortunate was struggling for utterance, but his tongue would not obey him. He reached for the pitcher, but was interrupted sadly by a voice from the gallery—a slow, distressing sympathetic voice: "Take—him—to—the—lake!'' Immediately from every' bench and gallery rained unsuspected cups and buckets of water. The delegate from Blank was literally flooded out and for the rest of the convention the flame of his eloquence was effectuallyquenched. In Victoria the following song is the rage: Oh! the Tory's delight, with boodle in sight, Is the election time, With "stiffs" and "repeaters" they're surely world beaters At good election time. Election once ovar, no more they're in clover, From office they downward climb, And that is annoying, when thev were enjoying The good election time. CHWRUS. At the good election time, at the good election time, The Dicky birds are whistling the voters into line; Alas! for Dick and all his crew, the cemeteries are,full Of good old Tory voters who once gave them the pull, To get a fat job and the country to rob Is Tory election time. They preach Old Protection, which means "no detection" At good election time. Rut new lists have come, the Tories look glum, "Repeating" is now a crime.

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 the American continent? This you can do by traveing on the Rio Grande system, the far- famed "Scenic Line of the 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 dose 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- leet dining, ear 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.

"Look here," said the first speaker, after a short pause, continued, "avery day I discover additional evidences of the. fact that you do not like me. Why it is?" "Do you mean why you discover the evidences or why i do not like your .. "Why you do not like me,, of course." "Well, in the first place, you are such an eutrageous liar." "Yes." "And in the second place, it has been proved that you are a thief." "Well," said the colonel, "I merely wanted to know, and it strikes me that your reasons are very good. I am a sensitive man, and it nettles me to think that anyone dislikes me without a cause. I am glad you have expressed yourself so clearly." Not very long ago a wealthy tradesman called at the office of a firm in the same line of business as himself and asked for Mr. Budge, the head partner. Now Mr. Budge had married a new wife who was very anxious to get into good society. The name of Budge was common. Aristocratic people often pronounced their names different from the way they were spelt. She would do the same. Henceforth they would be called Boc-jay. The caller pronounced the name plain "Budge." j, "You want to see Mr. Boo-jay?" said the office boy. "No, I don't want to see Mr. Boo- jay—I want to see Mr. Budge," said the tradesman., "Well, there is no such man here," said the office boy. "Yes, there is," was the response; "I have been corresponding with him for ten years." "How do you spell it?" asked the office boy. "B-u-d-g-e," said the tradesman. "That spells Boo-jay," said the office boy. "Well, it spells Budge to me," said the caller, "and I ain't going to boo- jay from this seat until by see Mr. Budge." Young Doctor—I find it hard to draw the line befween a common cold and influenza. Old Doctor—It is hard, my boy; but social distinctions have to be made; there'8 no help for it." An example of how not to begin a story is afforded by a contemporary devoted to fiction. "John Williams," the story opens, "had seen some fifty- five summers. Blind from the day of his birth," etc. When! rights she Just What You Want Just When You Want It GOOD SERVICE is composed of two elements —excellence of the work and promptness in the execution.

The rate is not given out, but it is intimated that it is considerably below the figure the company paid to the North- port smelter for the last two years. The company will ship about 2000 tons monthly, The following ore shipments were made last week from Republic to the smelters: Quilp, 14 cars to Ta- coma; Mountain Lion, 19 cars to Nelson; Zala M, 3 cars to Crofton; Trade Dollar, 1 car to Nelson. All arrangements have practical y been completed for using electric power from Cascade at the B. C. Copper company's works. The right ol! way between the substation at Phoenix and the smelter has been secured, and the poles will be erected and wires strung as quickly as possible. Negotiations are being carried on with the Westinghouse company through A. A. Miller, their pcattle representative, for the necessary plant. The Greenwood and Boundary Falls smelters barely escaped a coke famine last week, as a result of the burning of tho trestle on the C. P. R. Fortunately the Granby smelter had a considerable stock on hand, and some twenty-five cars were diverted from this city to be used at the Boundary smelters. It seems that even yet the coke supply for the Boundary smelters is som cwh&t precarious. The Providence mine is the first dividend payer in the Boundary. The announcement was made some time ago that regular demands would be paid, and the first of these was authorized by the company on September 1st. The dividend is 52 cents a share on the issued stock of. the company, the total amount paid out being nearly $2800. Regular monthly dividends will likely be paid in the future, as the mine never looked better. Last week on tbe 175-foot level a strike was made. It carries coarse free gold and assays high in tiie thousand's. Ttic'Greoiiwood Hoard of Trade at its meeting- last week decided to take 'action iii the matter,
