As a result two blocks and a half of the business centre of the city are a mass of smoldering ruins this morning. The fire was not discovered until it had gained quite a headway, and when the department reached tbe scene it was beyond control. Tbe dry frame buildings burned liko tinder, and made an exceedingly bot blaze. The district ravaged by the flames iB bounded on the north by the North Fork of Kettle river, on the east by Main street, on the south by First street, and on the west by Winnipeg avenue.

The fire boys did excellent work, and the citizens rendered them every possible ossistance. When it became apparent that the fire would spread beyond control the fire engine was backed down to .liver, and this, together with the water in the large storage tank, gave the department an ample water supply. The flames burned fiercely until about 5 o'clock, when they were gotten under control. Up to the present only one casualty is known to have resulted from the holocaust. This was a man named Nels Barneby, who arrived in the city yesterday from Malo, Wash His charred remains were found in the ruins of the Hotel Valhalla at noon today. Ed Noble, -a local painter and paper hanifer, has also been missing since last night, and up to the present no trace of him has been found.

The Provin e bote' has opened a bar in a tent. Frank Hartinger, owner of the Grand Forks hotel, has announced his intention of rebuilding as soon as lie can get the material on the ground A number of other persons who had their properties destroyed have made the same declaration. Mayor Fripp has declared tomorrow (Saturday) a public holiday in order to give the citizens an opportunity to clear away some of the debris from the burnt district. Mayor Fripp yesterday received a telegram from Mayoi Taylor of Nelson, expressing tho sympathy of the citizens of Nelson for the people of Grand Forks in their great loss by the fire. A conservative estimate places the loss to buildings at about 8225,000. The loss to goods will likely bring this sum up to $300,000, The most irreparable loss is the destruction of the Yale hotel. IC was one of the best hotels in the interior, nud was Grand Forks'best advertisement. It is doubtful if present conditions warrant the reconstruction of the house on its former magnificent scale. Much sympathy is being expressed for the unfortunate people who lost the result of years of hard toil and saving by tlio fire. 7,000 .1,000 1,000 Over sixty thousand dollars will be expended forthe Interstate fair, which will he held in Spokane this fall, October 5 to 10 inclusive.

McCallum. The monthly reports of the chief of police and the chief of the fire department were read and ordered filed. The chief of police was instructed to turn in the names of persons from whom he had collected dog tax. After some discussion on the subject, it appeared to be the opinion of the council that the lawn sprinkling regulations should more rigidly enforced. The council thought the police should enforce the bylaw, as it was not the duty of the aldermen to act as policemen. The chairman of the finance committee stated James Bruno, Dan O'Rae P. T. McCallum and I. A. Dinsmore had been summoned before the police magistrate last week for allowing stock to run at large within the city limits, in violation of the recently enacted pound by- luw. The charges against O'Rae, McCalluin and Dinsmore had been withdrawn on application of the city solicitor, and in consequence of this action Bruno bud been let off without a line. The chairman stated that considerable talk in regard to this matter had been indulged in on street corners, and that Aid. McCullum had made assertion that thought his being summoned before the police magistrate was spite work either on tho part of the police or the finance committee. .He had hoped thai Aid. McCallum would be present at the meeting to give the council a full explanation of his action. Mr. Woodland concluded by saying that if the bylaw could not be enforced without the his motives being impugned, he desired to resign as chairman of the finance committee. The other aldermen also spoke in favor in favor of the pound bylaw and were of the opinion tbat it should lie enforced. Sonic of them said it was unfortunate that there was a member of the board who would not recognize it. The mayor thought that both thc council and the rate payers were in favor of a strict enforcement of the bylaw. The chairman of tho water and light committee reported that the committee recommended furnishing city water to the residents of the Ruckle addition for domestic purposes only at a rate of 50c in excess of the regular rates, the consumers to pay forthe laying of mains.which should be done under the supervision of the city engineer. The committee was given discretionary powers to act in the matter. The committee also recommended that a metre be procured for the motor in P. Burns & Bo.'s cold storage plant. Approved. The city solicitor reported that he was yet unable to formulate an estimate of the cost to the city in the Mcintosh bridge inspection case. The 200 to 250, 10c; 250 to 350, 9c: 350 to 500, 8c; 500 to 1000,.7c; 1000 to 1200, 6c; over 1200, 5c. The rates for power are identical with the above figures. The minimun charge for metre rates is 81 per month. There are also charges foi metre rental and testing of metres. The flat rates remain the same as in the old bylaw. During the discussion on the bylaw the fact was brought uut that the light reveuue had decreased $320 during the first mouths of the present year. This does not mean, however, that the city has actually lost this amount in cash, us tbe power bills have been lighter than formerly. Aid. Woodland was granted leave to introduce a tax rate bylaw, which was read twice and then passed the committee stage. The council then adjourned. REPUBLIC MINE News wns brought down from Frunklin cump this week of an important strike of high-grade gold; copper-stiver ore un the group of claims owned hy John Morrell and Salvatijre Bonnaeci. Tnis group lomprises the Iota, Judittn, Maggie and Xunziella mineral claims, situate four miles south of the McKinley mine and one mile west of the wagon road, and adjoin Ihe Silver King and Silver Queen claims on the south. The strike was made at the bottom of a 20-foot shaft, which on the surface just showed a small trace of gold. A pulp was made of the ore, and samples were sent to Spokane, Vancouver and lbe Granby smelter to be assayed. The assay returns, giving the following values, were received a few days ago: Spokane, 8380; Vancouver, .■*395; Granby s'nelter, SHOO. A sample of the pulp was also retained by the owners. Nothing has yet been learned of the extent of the find. Parties from this cityjwill leave for the camp next week to investigate the correctness of strike, and until they return no tuller details can be given. PERSONAL The Syndicate Deep Mines have made arrangements to reopen the famous Republics mine at Redublic, Wash. The deal was completed a few days since. The sinking of tbe three-compartmwit abaft that was in progress when the former owners abandoned the pioperty is to be continued. The mine was originally owned by Patrick Clark and associates, and was located by some prospectors that Messrs. Clark, Robbins and Long, of Rossland, grubstaked in 18'J6, during the Rossland boom. A company was formed; the ore proved rich and near the surface; about a million dollars was extracted from the mine and dividends were paid and the mine became famous. The original owners sold out to a syndicate of Montreal and Toronto capitalists, among whom were Robert Jaffray nnd Clarence Mc- Quuig. A large cyaniding plant wns erected. Mnjor R. G. Edwards I.eckie wns placed in charge us superintendent. Soon the ore petered out, and although considerable money was spent in an endeavor to lind the shoots, the quest was unsuccessful. Several years since work wns abandoned, nnd since then the Republic bus been idle. Taxes accumulated and the mine and mill became the property of Kerry county through their Don-payment, —Rossland Miner. Geo. Chappie returned from Calgary last night. E. W. Barrett, a well known Vancouver real estate man, arrived in the city on Wednesday, Miss Olive Henderson, of Chilli* waek, is visiting at the home of her ' parents ill this city. Win.

Johnson, consulting engineer of tho Dominion Copper company, who spent some days in the Boundary last week, spoke with confidence of the red metal situation, and said he thought it would improve from Ihis on. "I do not sec what there is to keep the price of copper at the low figures of the last few months," he said. '•I'he condition of the whole country seems to be better than a few weeks ago. I think this is due to some extent to the presidential nomination having been settled. Although I am not a politician, I believe that some men who know more about the metal markets than we do here in tho west had something to do with bringing on the appearance of hard times last fall. I think it was a veiled slnp at Roosevelt. They are fairly confident now of what is to take place, and industries arc bound to improve, I believe." Gone np in Smoke. Cigar is the best.

WHY don't you wake up the people of this city and valley?" said one of the leading business men of the Kootenays to The Sun man the other other. "The people don't appear to realize what they possess in the way of potential wealth. Look at the broad valley of undeveloped agricultural lands, the magnificent mountain scenery, and the abundance of'the water supply in lakes and beautiful flowing streams. These advantages, taken in connection with an unsurpassed climate and the best market facilities in the province, should have made Grand Forks a city of ten thousand inhabitants ere this time, and the valley should be dotted with homes of prosperous ranchers. Why, if we had your opportunities for enterprise in my home town, we would now have twenty thousand people there." The speaker lives in Koot- enay's most progressive city—a city that has gained its present commercial eminence solely through enterprise. As he has made irequent visits to this city during the past ten years, it must be taken for granted that spoke from knowledge gained by a close observation of our environments. His remarks furnishes food for thought. FRIDAY, JULY 10, 10U8 ''PHIC dasire to get rich quick is 1 responsible fer a great deal of actual poverty. People who are not satisfied to amass wealth in a natural and rational manner, usual invest in every "wild-cat" scheme that presents itself. These schemes are usually fathered by glib talkers, who do not give their victims time to exercise their better judgment. Once the victim has been swindled, he bites at tne next scheme that comes along in order to play even— which they seldom do. Then the habit fastens its fangs on them like the opium or liquor habit, and they are kept in a state of perpetual destitution. Recently promotors of American townsites have been doing a thriving business in the Boundary; and more are on the way here. Whether or not the lots exchanged for Canadian are wonh the money, we arc not prepared to sny; but we do know that, according to the laws of the state of Washington^ it is unlawful for a Canadian to own realty in lhat commonwealth. It is therefore clear that the sale of these lots to British subjects is nothing short of an unadulterated fraud. There is also another phase to this habit of investing away from home. Last week canvassers sold 812,000 j worth of stock in this city in an em-1 bryo East Kootenay undertaking. This enterprise may lie nil right, and in tbe course of years it may even pay big dividends. Fur the snke of the investois we hope that this will { be the case. Rut the men who put' their money in this concern take the cbances of mismanagement, stock jobbing, and all the other evils that big corporations are fre- i|lit'inly cursed with,even though the enterprise should prove a finanr'a1 "success. We venture the opinion that this money could hnve been invested with better advantage, nnd with absolute security to the invi-s- tors, riglit here in the valley. There is no longer the slightest chance of a loss by investing in Ket. tin Valley lands, and by improving them the pri fits are certain, permanent and resonably rapid. This is an assertaih that can be snid of very few industrial undertakings, because past history shows that it WHEN do you intend to resume operating the Sunday passenger train between Grand Forks and Marcus?" asked The Sun man of a Great Northern official during moment's leisure one evening this week. '"Not until you start an agitation for a Sunday passenger service," replied that gentlemen. "The company probably takes it for granted that, as long as you don't kick, you are satisfied with the present schedule. Rosslnnd kicked. It has now had a Sunday train for over a month; and thnt city does not give the road half the traffic that Grand Forks does. Nothing worth having is ever gained witnout an agitation. Ask and ye shall receive." The bint thrown out by this official is worth acting upon. A Sunday train from Marcus to Grand Forks would give passengers for the west a twenty-four hours' lay over in this city—ample time in which view some of the beauties of the valley. A MORE cordial welcome to the new business firms being established here would help Grand Forks' growth materially. Instead of looking at them akance and asking if they will be able to "make it s ick," it would be infinitely better to give them a share of your patronage and to cheer them with a few words of encour igemcnt once in a while. Every new business house established here adds to the wealth and population of the city, and the policy of the people and the city administration should be to make room for all who come. "■PHE city' government should be 1 given all possible support by tl e oitizens in its effort to enforce the bylaw prohibit ng cattle from running at large wiihin the city limits. Grand Korks has outgrown its cow-pasture days, and people who desire to improve their properties should be given every protection possible from the depredations of slock. minded policy, usually prompted by self-interest. No city ever attained greatness by pursuing tbis course. TI7TTH the solution of aerial navi- VV gation the slang expression "going straight up" will become a respectable dictionary phrase. Invention appears to be unable to keep pace with our language. P. BURNS <& CO.

He bas probably solved the problem of aerial navigation by this time. 1)EOPLE who complain of being buried in country towns are never heard of after they remove to the large cities. THIS is not the season of the year to worry about the fuel bill, but keep on friendly relations with tbe ice man. A PEOPLE who have acquired the faculty of distinguishing criticism from chronic kicking and "knocking" have emerged fiom the wilderness of ignorance and started on the road that leads to true knowledge. FAVORITISM and the attempt to build up one institution at the expense of a rival is a nnrrow- The "Kilties"—Canada's greatest concert band—gave a splenoid performance in the Rink last Saturday night to an audience composed of about 500 men, women and children—and a few Hindus. The meritorious character of concert was evidenced by the liberal applause accorded the performers. The program redered was a good one, consisting of the following numbers: March, Diplomat ..Sousa Overture, Jubilee Weber Bagpipe Solo—Hon. Pipe Major Albert Johnstone. Cornet .Solo—Richard Stress..Selected Scotch Reel—The Clan Johnstone Troupe. Part Song—The Kilt'e< Choir. Sword Dance—Master Willie Johnstone, a Intermezzo—-"After Sunset" (new) Pryor b Humoresque—"The Merry Widow" Lebar Burlesqued in the following manner: 1. Little German Band. 2. Flute Solo with Organ Effect. 3. An Amateur Trombonist. i. A Street Piano. 5. A La Bag Banjo. Finale: A Brain Storm. Scottish Airs—Robei t Bru e. G idfrey Sailor's Hornpipe—The Jolinstones. Grand Selections nf Popular Classics Tobani Irish Jig—The Jolinstones. Finale—The Overture from William Tell Rossini While the musical numbers were the features of the program, the dancing of the Johnstone Troupe proved very enjoyable, and they were tendered several very hearty encores. The general opinion of those present is that it was the best band that has ever appeared in the aity. Tone and balance, appearance, discipline and behavior of the men were beyond criticism. The only fault to be found with the program was its shortness, even with tbe many encores, to which Band master Cook invariably responded. The whole concert was so good tbat it is exceedingly difficult to single out special numbers for commendation, but Mr. Stross' cornet Bolo cannot be passed over without praise. His tone was superb and his phrasing beautiful. The Scotch element in the audience was greatly enthused over Pipe Major Johnstone's pipe solo, whicli was really a mar velloys performance. The street parade in the afternoon was a good one. The band presented a very fine appearance as, headed by the two "Genial Giants," Mackenzie and McCormick, and led by their fine bugle band and the pipes, they marched through the principal streets. On Sunday evening the band gave Dealers in all Kinds tf FRESH AND CURED MEATS Fish and Game in Season FIRST ST., GRAND FORKS, B. C. a sacred concert in the Rink after the church services, at which a fair- sized audience was present. The "Kilties" most assuredly "made good" here both from a musical and financial point of view. They will be remembered long by the people of Grand Forks, and will be heartily welcomed should tbey ever return here. The concert demonstrated one thing—that the Rink can easily be converted into a cool and very com ortablc summer theatre. The Granby Consolidated company is now making thirty million pounds of copper a year at a cost of about eight cents a pound. The output will be increased before next winter.

Swindler Caught A clever piece of detective work, carried on for some time by United States Immigration Inspector McKeehan, resulted in the arrest of a man named W. S. Carter last night for using the United States mails for fraudulent purposes. Carter's scheme has been to get acquainted with some young man in the town in which he might be sojourning who had well-to- do parents in the east, aid then write to them for money, stating that their son was sick in a hospital, and that the money was needed tojdefray medical charges. This game he has Worked all over the west.' His last victim was a lady in Cherryvale, Kan., from whom he extorted quite a sum of money in this manner. Lately the officers of the law have been on his tracks in the states, and he crossed the boundary line and came to Grand ForkB. By means of decoy letters, he was lured to Danville last night, and there he walked right into the hands of the marshal of Ferry county. .

Bad luck gets the blame for a lot i f laziness. Some people who take things easy land in jail. Compromising witli sin is accepting wage from satan. The nearer some people ore the dearer they are not. Fight the devil with water—fire is his favorite w'eapon. Opportunity often knocks, but tco often with a hammer. A lot of men lose character trying to live up to reputation. Taking things as they come and selling thein begets success. The business of a dog dealer is apt to be a howling success. Hard words seldom make an impression on soft people. No man approves of a woman who flirts with another man. There is no race suicide among the poor and savage nations. It is sometimes safer to back down than to get your back up. It's easy for a man to do right win n he can't do anything else. Let a grafter get under a could and he will steal its silver liuing. Some men ask, "Is it safe!" The best men ask, "Is it right!" Fools fatten on flattery, but wise men only accept it as dessert, It reconciles one to growing old when ono sees serene old age. A cracked mirror is responsible for a whole lot of self-deception, A wise man never tries to please himself and a woman at the same time, People who are unable to control their passions are usually control led liy them. If you see a man making love to a Woman in public, it's a sign she isn't his wife. People have time to listen to stories of success, but tbey have failures of tlieii own. Why not borrow your neighbor's spectacles and have a look at your own faults! The wise theatrical manager hitches his wagon to a star t'other thou to a girl ill the chorus. Many a man's popularity is duo ti the fact that he adheres to the truth only when necessary. Don't pay any attention to the disagreeable things people say about you —if tbey are not true. Some people's countenances are as expressionless and devoid of character as the clay whenco they sprung. Whon we become wise enough to take our parents' advice we are too old to reap the full profit of it. All evils appear to possess some compensating virtue. Even a wife's oold feet should be a boon these sultry nights. It's un easy matter to furnish entertainment for your neighbors; all you have to do is to make a fool of yourself. &2.00 THMfEE S2.00 Regular Price &3.00 An Ofter Which Meets the Special Wants of All Classes of Readers The Western Canadian reading public is made up chiefly ,of these classes Persons who have lived in the West for a lengthy period and are out and nut Westerners, and recent arrivals from the Old Country, from the United States and from Eastern Canada.
