> flf TTbe Sun. Vol. I. Grand Forks and Columbia, B. C. Tuesday, October 14, 1902. %0^ To the Victoria Board of Trade Appear to Favor Hill's Road, In his speech to the members of the Victoria board of trade, Hon. A. G. Blair, minister of railways, made the following reference to Mr. Hill and the V., V. & Railway: Mr. Blair referred to an interview he had had with Mr. J. J. Hill at St. Paul, since starting on his present trip, and informed his hearers that Mr. Hill had spoken in high tenns of the resources and prospects of British Columbia. Mr. Hill was deeply interested in the province, and particularly in the V., V. & E. railway. At the same time, he had pointed out twb things which the people of British Columbia should seriously realize: First, that an improvement was necessary in the conditions affecting labor. How that could be effected the minister was not prepared to offer any suggestion; but they must all see how serious had been the consequences of the existing order of things upon the industries of the province. In this connection, Mr. Hill had shown that he undestood the profitable mining of low-grade ores in the Boundary Creek and other districts turned very largely upon the transportation facilities which could be offered for the transmission of coal ;uid coke. In the next place, the carriage of ores to thc smelters was a problem which had to be worked out. Mr. H/ll had expressed himself as ready to take up these matters with energy, and among other things, to prosecute the ei instruction ofthe V., V. & E. railway with all possible" cxpedtion. Mr. Blair believed tbat when these conditions to w.liieh he had alluded had been adjusted, Mr. Hill would not wait to ask government aid from either the Dominion or the province. It would be well for everybody interested in thc welfare of the country to recognize the futility of expecting that any government could place its hands in thc exchequer, for means to aid in thc construction of all railways. This did not, of course, apply to trunk lines or to railways opening up agricultural district's; but until development of mineral* and other resources had been carried to the extent of demonstrating that traffic was assured, the government would not lie justified in granting subventions.

The game made such a popular hit last winter that the public are hoping a team will again represent the city. Nothing elaborate is contemplated—a 12-foot fence with a canvas roof may serve. A central situation with a weekly game between town and smelter teams would prove attractive, and from these a good team could be chosen to meet outsiders.

But with them waiting ceased to be a virtue, and so they organized a little party and sallied forth to help in connecting a spur line with the C. & E. There was no rioting or disorder. Everything was done peaceably. In the Boundary, however, we are more law-abiding, or shall we say timid, and prefer to wait. But if the end were not in sight, we venture the prediction that n baker's dozen could be found in this vicinity who. Would be willing to adopt the pkn so successfully carried out by the Edmontonites. TOPICS OF THE TOWN this received in this city week from Mr. J. B.

Either Job was Too Big for the Guy, but he sort of held on, hoping something or somebody would come to his Rescue. 'But they didn't, as they were Busy themselves building a Real Railway. Then the Guy would the Wheels of Progress with Hot Meander away to Think to himself of some Scheme to delay the Real Railway while he became a Bigger Attraction than ever. His. own Railway Toy in the meantime was left to Shift for itself—he even forgot to build a Track to his Roundhouse, and the Engines, such as they were, had long sessions of Rest on side-lines. But he soon Ceased to be an Attraction either at Home or Abroad. You see, if he Exercised the Power he had Usurped, he would Sacrifice his own Railway; and if he followed the Erratic Course laid get out of this Dilemma he hustled back East to get Advice from his Guardians. They didn't know what to do about the Power he had taken upon himself, but as Regards the Railway, they concluded that he didn't.Fill the Bill. So he "Resigned."

NEXT TO POST OFFICE ' Grand Forks A HOME-MADE FABLE [with apologies to no one.] Once upon a time there was a Truly Wise Homeseeker who left the Pleasures of the East to Get Next to some Hot Stuff in the West, So, of course, he came to Grand Forks. This whs some time ago, before Grand Forks had Hit its Gait. The j Homeseeker, whom we shall call A Wise Guy; for Short, wasn't So Much himself, but he had Connections in thc East who were the Real Goods, and with this Influence at his Command, he counted on Being In on every Good Thing going. He wasn't particular, however, as to the opening, and was willing to Let Loose on anything from Raising Frogs to Building a Railroad—on other people's Money. He already had good Local Standing and a Big Say in the handling of the Undeveloped Part of the town, but what he Hankered for was Power, land Wires were laid with that End in View. But the Wires Crossed— others wanted Power, too. But the Guy sung a Promising Song, and he landed the Job—because the other Candidate Pulled Out.

This you can do by travelling 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 close 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- lect dining car 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. No more pleasant and inexpensive means of crossing thc continent can be found than is provided by these excursions. For additional details address J. D. Mansfield, Gen.

PHONE Clo6 A City of Beautiful Environments, Healthful Climate and Bountiful Resources—Civic Improvements, Including Electric Light and Waterworks Systems, Are Well Advanced, The City of Columbia Is situated near the junction of the North Forks of the Kettle river with the main Kettle river, and is distant about 300 miles east of Vancouver. Thoroughly up-to-date aud modern Electric Light, and Waterworks Systems are dow under construction, and w 11 be completed in September. The electric light syst m will include street arc lamps. The waterworks system is planned on a sufficiently large scale to meet all present and future needs, and insuring ample protection from the ravages of Are. At present water is supplied the city by pumping from a beautiful spring of exceptional purity. I The natural situation of the city for beauty Is "*"«»"<4 in Ameriea. A verdure clad and flower-bespangled rolling pralX traversed by a river of bright. >»">»«*•£• fringed with forest trees and surrounded by mountains, forming a charming combination of plcturesquesness aud grandeur. The Columbia * Western railway, which was constructed by the CanadlanPaclfloKallway company, has its station, freight warehouse and yards In the center of Columbia, and the Vanoouver, Viotora * Eastern Railway company, ha. located Its depot, freight sheds and yards along the east line of the corporation, thus giving the city connections with two transcontinental lines. The Canadian Pacifle railway company has large Interests in the city, having selected the site on account of the superior natural advantages as a railway centre, The climate, taken all the year around, is the best in Can- ado-part of the summer is rather hot and dry, but the rest of the year is enjoyable. JA Throughout the Kettle Kiver valley there is an extent ml fertile agricultural land, part of which is uow being cultivated. Apples, plums, pears, prunes, cherries and all the small fruits grow abundantly. The valley surrounding Columbia, divided into small fruit and vegetable farms, will sustain a large population. Iliiildlng material is plentiful in the district. Lumber can be procured at fair prices, and brick lime and stone of good quality can always be obtained when required. The mining Interests areof the first Importance ;to this country, and will do much to build up Columbia. Large mineral lodes have been discovered throughout the mountains adjacent to the city, and what were mere prospects a short time since are uow large paying mines. The Granby smelter and converter—the most modern and perfect plant of the kind in America—employing hundreds of men, Is contiguous to the city. Owing to the fine climate, the central situation, the beautible environments, the bright prospects for future growth aud prosperity, Columbia will be an educational centre, a city of homes, as [well as a wholesale distributing point; and when finally allied and wedded to her sister city, will be the best and largest city In [the Interior. IMPERIAL LIFE. In reviewing the list of prominent Canadian life insurance companies, the "Imperial" of Toronto stands out prominently on account of its remarkably successful career. The board of directors is composed of strong financiers and gentlemen of largje experience in the insurance business. This company nas nothing but up-to-date liberal policies to sell, and the fact that many large policies have been issued by the Imperial, running as high as $200,- 000 on one single life, indicates the class of people who are patrons of this company.

Returns from the last shipment of lo£ tons from the Providence mine to the Trail smelter gave $1,796.38, or 8130 per ton. The next shipment is expected to give $150 or better per ton. A force of 117 men is now employed at the Mother Lode mine. The Sunset needs only 14 men to get out the requisite amount of ore, so easily is it broken down. Col. William Ridpath, of Spokane, wss in the city last week, after inspecting the Lucille Dreyfus mine, situated near Nelson, Wash. He stated that with the aid of his associates he had secured a majority of the stock in the company, and that a new board, animated with progressive ideas, would be elected at the forthcoming annual meeting. He has a high opinion of the property, and says there is a large tonnage of $14 ore in sight, with values in gold, copper and silver, in the order named. He says systematic development work by means of a working shaft will be undertaken. He does not favor the plan of tun-' neling, hitherto pursued. Some of the new machinery being installed by the Granby company for the improved equipment at the Phoenix mines, which will cost over $100,000 when installed and in running order, has begun to arrive. Last week two carloads of the first half of thc electric driven compressor reached Phoenix, and more is expected daily. The ears already on trie ground contain the immense fly-wheel, a receiver and some fittings. The Snowshoe will use the power from Cascade as soon as it can be delivered, an arrangement having been made to that effect. The Cariboo, in Camp McKinney, is to declare a dividend next month of 2i per cent, the first in a year from this old dividend payer. 'It is said that the company has $125,000 in the treasury. Several offers have been made for the Ruby, located near the Sunset smelter, which shipped 85.,' tons of excellent ores last year, but whose owners got into fiuancial difficulties. The debts of the Waterloo, Camp McKinney, have been paid, and the property is again to be actively worked. / TWO SPFCIAI/T1ES Of which I Am Never Out, OURTESY AND PROMPTNESS IN case PrjrjQ J handle nothing but the Griffin Brand Fancy ' Rl ITTPD Tt's Griffin Brand Fancy Creamery and the UUI ■ L*«X Celebrated EDEN BANK, equal to, and cheaper than, Hazelwood.
