Ok Seventh Year—No. 1. Grand Forks, B. C, Friday. Novp^iber 1, 1907. A BIG I Columbia Greenhouses Now Has 20,000 Square feet Under Glass Supplies the Markets of the Boundary and Kootenay Districts The prettiest sight in Grand Forks or vicinity at present is the Columbia greenhouses, located just west of the city limits. To step inside the large glass buildings is to be instantly transported Irom bleak autumn to luxuriant midsummer. To the imaginative it must appear as if some good fairy had snddenly changed the seasons. And the buildings are of sufficient dimensions to make tbe illusion seem real even to the most prosaic. A sea of blooming flowers, of variegated colors and sweet fragrance, and a profusion of palms and ferns meet the eye on every hand. From a very modest beginning, this has grown to be an institution of large proportions. Six years ago Frache Bros., the present proprietors, established this business with one house, or 1500 square feet under glass. Today this has grown to Reven large houses, or a total of 20,- 000 square feet enclosed by glass. Of this total, 10,000 square feet have been added during the last twelve months. Of the Beven houses, two are devoted to chrysanthemums, one to carnations, one to small plants, and three to lettuce. There are 3000 chrysanthemum plants, and 10,000 buds. They are of different varieties and of all the colors of rainbow. Th;y have just commenced to bloom and will last until after the holiday trade. There are 1600 carnation plants in bloom, besides a large number of young plants that have just been set out for next season. The three houses of lettuce consist of 12,000 plants. Some of them are now ready for the market, and there is enough of them to supply the markets of the Boundary and Kootenays until next spring. There are also a large number of beds of redishes, und a vast number of- tomato plants have just been set out for the early spring trade. In the house devoted to small plants may be seen, in great profu sion, geraniums, forget-me-nots, violets, fusias, blooming cactus, Chinese primroses that will bloom this winter, begonias, all varieties of sinilux, cinerea, palms, ferns from a Boston fern to a maidenhair, the entire bulb family, such as calla lilies, Lilies of the Valley, Easter lilies, freesiaB, dahlias, hyacinths, narcissus, tulips and cyclamen, and a great variety of other plants too numerous to mention. The Freehs Brothers do not depend entirely on the local or Boundary market. During the six years they have been in business they have worked up an excellent trade all through the Kootenays, and Nelson and Rossland are now two of their best customers. A Triumph David B. Gaily in his picturesque romance,"We Are King," was greeted with capacity houses at the opera house on Monday evening, says the Brandon Sun of the 1 st ult. The star and his play were strangers to Brandon theatre-goers, but they came under the direction of C. P. Walker, which was a sufficient guarantee to the publio that the production merited good patronage. "We Are King" made a decided hit—the greatest hit of Several seasons. It's seldom, indeed, Brandon people have an opportunity of seeing as finished an artist as David B. Gaily, His play is bright, smart and intensely interesting—just the bill that the theatre devotee enjoys and the general public finds really entertaining. There was the same refreshing snap to the presentation of "We Are King" that characterizes all the Walker productions. There was everywhere evidence of that attention to detail which gives to a piece the swing of a finished production, the artistic air that success demands. Mr. Gaily, in the dual role of newspaper man and king, is at all times splendid. His comedy is delightful, refined and free from effort, his love- making is natural; and as king he showed great strength. His versatility is remarkable. Mis Clifton, as Fraulien Theresa, was simply charming. Her voice is of exceptional sweetness. She is possesed of great beauty and has a bewitching manner. Her part demanded great ability as an actress and she succeeded admirably. The support was perfect, so strong in fact that several members of the com pany in different scenes divided the honors with the principals. David B. Gaily and his company deserves the warm support of western theatregoers, for the bill they provide is seldom equalled out this way. "We Are King" will shortly be seen ut the Grand Forks opera house. NEWS OF THE CITY ing and planting the land for himself and the other purchasers, who are lo follow bim next spring. The . family have been living in the city this week, but a couple of davs ago Kellogg-Haines Singing.Party a carload of their household' effects and some livestock arrived from Indian Head, and yesterday they Gives a Delightful Entertainment Farmers' Institute Will Hold Two Meetings on Tuesday Next The Kellogg-Haines Singing Party, which appeared at the opera house last Friday night before a large and appreciative audience, consisted of the best musical talent that has been heard in this oity. Every one of the four people composing this company is an artist, and their music and operatic interpretations are beyond critic Ism. The company made their debut in a manner different from the usual musical organization, and they quickly captured the audience and received hearty encores. Their program was a a lengthy one, and closed with scenes from the light opera, "Dolly Varden," in which many musical specialties, en costume, were introduced, all of which were greeted with hearty applause. During the intermission Mr. H. C. Hanington, president of the 20,000 club, under whose auspices the concert was given, took occasion to thank the citizens for the hearty support tendered the company, thus encouraging the club in its effoi ts to secure amusements of a high class for the people. Four more entertainments will be given under the auspieces of the club during the present season, the next attraction being Opie Keed, the well known author, humorist and entertainer. Tickets for the four entertainments oan now be purchased for $3.00. moved down to the ranch. The Heven family is valuable acquisition to the valley. A case that appears to have escaped the vigilance of the police of the city is reported to have occurred last Monday night. A smeltermati residing between the Henderson hill and the mountain is accused of having most unmerifully beaten his wife. The screams of the woman could be heard for blocks away, and neighbors who hurried to the scene, fearing that a burglary or murder was being committed, state that when they reached the house they found that the woiilan had been shamefully maltreated and that the daughter of the couple had fainted from fright. The case appears to be one demanding investigation, and if the facts prove to be as stated above, just punishment should be meted out to the culprit. $1.00 Per Year in Advance.

Short addresses on horticulture will also he ■en by Mr. Anderson, deputy minister of agi iuulturo, and Miss Rose, of Guelph, Out. Kvery one interested iii agriculture'and horticulture in the valley should not fail to attend. Recent visitor*; to the city have commented unfavorably on the tact that the storekeepers of Craud Forks appear to lack pride ill making their shop windows look attractive. Window dressing is au important part of the mercantile business, and deserves special attention. The city electrician has in«tailed an arc lamp at the corner of Winnipeg avenue and First street. This throws additional light on the opera house. McNeill k Henniger have built an addition to the tear of their warehouse, and Kettle Valley line cars can now be loaded and unloaded from their rear platform. Kenneth Hankinson, of Mipway, spent Thanksgiving day in this city. Ho stated that the chief engineer's staff of the V., V. k IS. would move from Midway to Keremeos in a few days. Fred McKeehan insists that the balloon lie saw at Marcus last week had an uliieruian aboard for Orand Forks. Where is he now? John Peterson, who has heen spending two or tluee weeks in the city, returned to Hedley last Saturday. The blacksmiths of the Boundary, Okanagan and Similkameen districts held a meeting this week, and, on account of the advance in tho price of iron and steel, decided to udvance the scale of prices for work on tho 1st inst. K. H. Truenian, tho well known Vancouver photographer, will arrive in (irand Forks ou the 10th inst. Tins will be his last visit to the city hefore the Christmas holidays. About thirty members of Grand Forks Lodge No. 30, K. of P., went up to Phoenix last Saturday evening to assist the Phoenix lodgfe to initiate a class of 100 tyros into the mysteries of the dramatic order of the Knights of Kohrassen. The members of Phoenix lodge have been preparing for thi event for the past two week, and the ceremonies attending the initiation proved a success. Besides the local members and the visitors from this city, El Mabarraz Temple No. 92, was represented by fifty or sixty visitors, who yrrived in Phoenix on the evening train with their brass brand. Greenwood was represented by about thirty members, and there was also a fair attendance from Midway, Eholt, Danville, Republic, Chesaw and other towns. All these visitors taxed the capacity of the large Miners' Union hall, in which the ceremonies were held. On the arrival of the Great Northern train in Phoenix a procession was held through the streets of the city, after which the ceremouies of initiation, with a class of about 100, including a number of members from this city, were none through with. Following the initiation a banquet was held, elaborate preparations also having been made for this part of the entertainment. The Grand Forks and Spokane members returned to their homes on Sunday morning. One member who took the dramatic degree states that the jar made by the explosion of a stick of stumping powder is child's play compared with the antics of the goat. This man has now had considerable experience witb both elements, and his statement should carry a great deal of weight. Mrs. Burwell's house, in the Ruckle addition, was burned to the ground last Saturday, together with all ol her household effects. The only thing saved from the dailies was the clothes she had on. L. A. Manly returned last Saturday from an extended trip to the coast cities. Frank Sherwood, U. S. customs officer at Ferry, was a visitor in the city yesterday.

But the Conservative platform pledges the party to an expenditure of millions of dollars for purchase of public utilities, and promises to hand over the principal functions of government to a commission not responsible to the people, This is another evidence of Tory audacity in making rash promises to gain control of the government. Some Conservative ideas are ludic- rousness inconsistent. Of course everybody wbo devotes attention to politics has observed the dilemma of Foster et al., the men who criticise the government for doing certain things, and when the curtnn is ruthlessly lifted by a public commission from their own lives, lo and behold, they stand naked and convicted of the self same crimes. The Conservatives accuse the Liberals of wanton extravogance, but Foster says he would borrow large sums of money nnd spend them throughout Canada. The Lord deliver us from such a minister of linance. The Conservatives accuse ihe Liberals of excessive expendituie' of money, and yet they desire to embark iu a financial deal involving hundreds of millions in purchasing great public utilities and handing them over to the tender mercies of inexperienced persons who, of course, would see nothing wrong in diverting large sums into channels leading to political corruption funds. The Conservatives say the Innds should be "restored" to the new provinces, intimating thereby that the provinces have been deprived of them, but this restoration is to be accomplished by a certain large payment in cash, which would suggest with equal strength that if provinces want the lands they must pay for them. The Conservatives say there must be reform in the civil service, and they pledge themselves if elected to forthwith delegate the power of appointment to a commission which will not be responsible to the people, but will, of course, be of Ihe purest and most uncompromising Tory stripe. Other mutters in the platform might be referred to, but the above examples are suf- licient to illustrate the contention lhat the Conservatives arc culpably inconsistent, and that the platform upon which they are appealing to the people is a platform of evasion, and that should they be returned to power and keep their preelection pledges, a blow would be struck at the very root of representative government, because the Conservatives, if tbey kept faith, would be bound to divest themselves of important governmental functions, and the people would apparently be left without a remedy.

The play opens with the fete day at Pompeii. Nydia, the blind girl, wanders through the streets selling flowers. Glaucus, the noble Athenian, converses with her, but does not guess that she loves him, for to hiin she is but a child, anil his affections are centered upon lone, the beautiful Neapolitan maiden. She and her brother, Apaecides, have been pupils of Ar baces. the Egyptian, and he, while trying to keep the brother from becoming a Christian, tries at the same time to win lone for his bride. She, however, loves Glaucus. The interest of the play circles round Arbaces, the Egyptian, who with his base treachery and cunning makes a strong personality. The plot i.s good. The costumes are typical of that early era, the sandalled feet, the flowing robes, and the band of Christians in their black cloaks and hoods. While this p oduction is under the direction of Harold Nelson and Clifford Lane Bruce, they have spared no pains to make this new venture a success. A capable company of New York players have been chosen to fill the various roles to support Miss Helene Scott, who appears as lone, the Neapolitan maiden. Miss Scott is too well known through tho west to need mention, having appeared for so many seasons as leading woman for the Nelson-Bruce company. Her many friends and admirers here will be glad to welcome her after an absence of two years. Mr, Joseph DeStefani, an actor of great ability and long experience, appears in the role of Arbaces, which demands more than ordinary ability to portray. The play is a dramatization of Bulwer-Lytton's famous novel, the Last Days of Pompeii. Special scenery has been provided, and the curtain descends upon the magnificent spectacle of Vesuvius in eruption.

B. C. Talse School Reports To the Editirr of The Sun. Dear Sir:—The McBride govern ornment is guilty of having published false and misleading reports about some of the teachers of the public schools. On August 23 last I asked the acting minister of education to promise that this would not occur in the next public school report. He said he would pass it on to the minister of education. I then, on August 24, appealed to Premier McBride. He, too, promised to pass it on. On August 27 I again appealed to the premier, but he was going a-fishing and promised to look into the matter on his return. I presume he is still looking into it. The next public schools report is likely being prepared now, and the peoplo should be warned through the press that the government has so far given no promise tbat it will prevent such a scandal in the next report. Proof that the government did publish false and misleading reports in the last public schools report, 1905- 1906: On page A21 Inspector Wilson says he inspected Alberni new school on February 21, 1906, and that the school room was untidy, eto. On page A L 1, Table C, pnblic school teachers during 1905-1906, Albrni New, Miss E. C. Ohlson. Thatstatementisfal.se. Miss Ohlson did not teach one day there in 1906, because I taught that school myself every day during 1906. I was in charge of the school when Inspector Wilson came, and 1 had been from the first of the year 1906, and so the statement of Inspector Wilson is nothing less than a slander on the good name of that young lady. You may search through the report and my name does not appear anywhere; yet I was in charge of the school, and to me falls the honor of being charged with having an untidy school-room, etc. Again, on page A42, Inspector Gordon says he Inspected Kwefers' school on April 26, 1906, and that the tone of the school was poor, etc. On page A LV, public school teachers during 1905-191)0, Keefers', Miss L. E. Frith. That statement is hie. I am now in charge of the Reefers' school, and I know that that young lady was not the teacher during 1906, nor was she in charge when Inspector Gordon visited the school; so that statement, too, is a slander upon the good name of another young lady. I cannot understand how a person who puts any value upon his own honor can allow the honor of another (especially of a lady) to lie besmirched. i therefore appeal to the people to call upon their representatives to vote against a government that is guilty of such disgraceful conduct, because in years to come, when we are dead and gone, the undeserved slur on the character of those two young ladies will still remain in the public schools report of 1905 1906.
