MAYOR RESIGNS Refusal of Council to Introduce Salary Bylaw Causes This Action Permanent Loan Co. Threatens to Bring Suit Against the City A special meeting of the city council was held in tbe council chamber Monday evening, those present being Mayor Hammar, Aid. Hardy, Horner, McCallum, Mcintosh and Woodland. A communication was read from Mre. Wiseman in reference to compensation for the right of way over her property for the city's pole line. Sh&did not like to accept the oSer made her at the last regular meeting, and the city solicitor was instructed to reply to her letter and to endeavor to effect a settlemtnt. The following telegram from F. M. Holland to A. 3. Sutton, wbo bas been in charge of tbe Dominion Permanent Loan company's case, was read: "Take proceedings against city forthwith for damages, and if necessary have city tank and mains removed from townsite company's lands." Tbis telegram is the result of the cancellation by the license commissioners of the license for the Square hotel, which is owned by the townsite company, or Do-ninion Permanent Loan company, of Toronto, practirally tbe same thing. It transpires tbat the city tank, and mains leading to it, are on townsite property, no purchase of the site ever having been made, although this matter has been under consideration lutely. A great deal of discussion followed the reading o the telegram. 'I'he council appeared to feel pretty sure of its posi tion in tne premises, and as the tank has been in its present situation or many years, it is questionable whether any action for damages ould be sustained, to say nothing o.: the right of the city to expropriate. On motion of Aid. Woodland and Mcintosh, the communication was laid on table for future reference. The water and light committee reported having made satisfactory terms with the West Kootenay Power & Light company for power on the expiration of the contract witb the Granby company. On motion, a committee wus appointed to draft an agreement, and to submit the same to the council at its next meeting. The mayor named Aid. Hardy and Woodland, together with tbe clerk and city solicitor, as such committee. Bylaw No. 42, being the tax sale bylaw, was reconsidered and finally strained. The mayor stated with emphasis that his position had been made thoroughly clear prior to his election, viz., that his salary should be assured, otherwise he would not accept the office. Taking a piece of paper from the table, Mayor Hammar rapidly wrote out his resignation und handed it to the clerk, who read it to the council. On motion of Aid. Woodland and McCallum, action en the resignation wns deferred until tbe next meeting. Mayor Hammar rose from the chair, and taking his hat, said "good night, gentlemen," and left the hall. After the mayor had retired, Aid. McCallum waB voted to the chair. On motion, D. Woodhead was engaged to act as poundkeeper and to be employed on street work; The council then adjourned until next Tuesday evening. NEWS0FTHEC1TY Aid. Woodland then asked leave to introduce the mayor's remuneration bylaw. Aid. McCallum moved, seconded by Aid. Horner, that leave be granted, but on the vote being taken it was found that the motion had fsiled to carry. The aldermen's salary bylaw faired the same fate. Some brief discussion then followed, and the situation became decidedly Sir Wilfrid's Work The visit of Sir Wilfrid Laurier to London in connection with the colonial conference, has brought down attacks from many envious persons and periodicals. They seek occasion in the incident to charge the prime minister with a desire to glorify himself at the expense of Canada. Such a charge is more than ridiculous, it iB asinine. Sir Wilfrid upon every occasion, both in his personal conduct and attitude on public questions has attracted dignity to the great country whose representative he is. In dealing with affairs involving Canadian politics, he has invariably kept aloof from expressing any opinion which might be interpreted as »n interference with British domestic politics. His attitude throughout a very trying ordeal has been that of a statesman thoroughly alive to his responsibilities, and conscious of the dignity of his own position. Sir Wilfrid Laurier emerges from the conference looming larger in public affairs than when he entered it. He has gained personal prestige, Canada is better known, and respected ii proportion, and will ultimately be the beneficiary of all the good that Sir Wilfrid accomplished on that occasion. MINING NEWS ITEMS About 500 men are now empl.iyecl at the Granby mines in Phoenix. While there are plenty of muckers, a score or two of machine men could qu ckly get employment. Last Thursday afternoon, while Engineer Creelman was lowering two men at the Granby No. 2 shaft, in Phoenix, he let the cage slip, and it wns caught on the chhirs at the 60- foot level. Fred Bell, pumpman, was severely bruised, but will soon recover. Charles Williamson, blaster, had his left ankle broken, which will lay him up for some time. Joe Quinn, topman, who went down afterwards to repair the chairs, when the hoist was allowed to slip again, had his right leg fractured. Creelman is no longer in the company's employ. W. D. Matthews, president of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd., which owns and operates the Centre Star, War Eagle, Iron Mask, Enterprise, Idaho, Red Mountain and other properties in Rossland camp, besides the Trail smelter and the St Eugene mine at Moyie, made a tour of the Boundary district last week, visiting tbe various mines and smelters. He was accompanied by his wife, two daughters and a son, and W. H. Aldridge, managing director, and R. H. Stewart, mine manager. Tbe party traveled in a private car.

Machine and Structural Iron Works Starts Work on Big Steel Tank C. L. Austin, superintendent of the bridge and building department of the S. F. k !•?. railway, was a visitor in the city this week. Mr. Austin was born and raised in Yazoo City, Miss., and he comes from a family that possesses a remarkable record for longevity. His father's parents died at the ages of 96 and 97 years. His grandfather and grandmother on his mother's side are still alive, the former, who lives in Scotland, being 10*4 years of age, while the latter of is 101 years old. Notwithstanding the fact that his grandmother has passed tbe century mark, she is still hale hearty and able to travel about the country without being assisted by anybody, and she will accompany her grandson on a trip to this city on the 15th of July. Mr. Austin is himself 44 years of age, and his father and mother, who reside at Yazoo City, are aged 81 and 76 years, respectively. During his entire lifetime Austin can remember of but four deaths of near relatives. J. C. and A. J. MacDonald, proprietors of the Grand Forks Machine Jt Structural Iron Works, last Monday commenced work on tha new steel water tank for the Granby company. The tank will be used for the storage of water; will have a capacity of 250,- 000 gallons, and it will require 300 tons of steel to construct it. These works now employ a force of 13 men, and an average of one carload per day of steel is arriying in the city for them. The big water tank steel flue chamber will keep them busy for some time. II, B. Cannon and Hank Watlin left this morning for Gloucester camp, where they will do assessment work on their mineral claims. The ice cream and strawberry social given by the ladies of Knox Presbyterian church last Tuesday evening, was well patronized and proved a big financial success. Seven furnaces ure now in ooera- tion at the Granby smelter, anil il is expected that the eighth will he blown in in a few days. Altogether tliere are now twelve furnaces in blast at the three Boundary smelters There has been so much interest evinced concerning the picnic at Newby Lake on the 1st, that it appears to be necessary to explain that the affair has been advertised by Mrs. Perkins as day of recreation for the old-timers of the valley. R. Guidom, customs ollicer ut Mid way, has decided to resign from the government service, having been offered a more lucrative position at the coast. nonstable Dinsmore went to Nelson this week with a provincial prisoner Grand Forks Labor union has served notice on the hotelkeepers of the city that they must get rid of their Chinese employees inside of thirty days.

Miss Sarah Hewton, of the public school staff of teachers, .who has severed her connection with the school, will leave in a day or two for southern California, where sbe has relatives, with the intention of residing there in future. She has been identified with educational work in this city for the past four years, and the best wishes of her many friends here will go with her. The material is beginning to arrive on the ground or tbe Kettle Valley line station on Third street, and work on the building bas been commenced. Miss Olding, one of tbe public school instructors, will spend her vacation at her home in Vancouver, and will leave for that city in a day or two. The public school closing exercises are being held today. There were a large number of parents and spectators present in all tbe rooms this forenoon, and interesting and meritorious programs, consisting of songs, recitations and drills, wore curried out. The pupils from the Columbia school were distributed imong the Central school classes. The high school examinations will lie held next week. Don't fail to attend the performance and dance to be given by tbe Moore Concert company at the opera house next Monday night. Men have been coming in to tbe mines of the Boundary a little more freely of late, tbe increased wages paid having become better known on the outside.

Tax Levy Bylaw Put Through First Three Stages, Including Committee A special meeting of the city council was held in the council chamber Friday afternoon, Mayor Hammar, Aid. Hardy, Horner, McCallum, Mcintosh ond Woodland being present. A. Whiteside, of G-ieenwood, appeared on behalf of the C. P.

Address all communications to Tub Evening Sun Phonh B74 Grand Forks, H.C. FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1907 The city is not with without a mayor, as has been published, as Mr. Hammar's resignation was not accepted at the last council meeting. It is difficult to see on what grounds the council refused Aid. Woodland permission to introduce the mayor's remuneration bylaw. Mr. Hammar made it generally known by public statements prior to the last civic election that he would not serve without a salary; and he made the run against a no-salary candidate, and was elected by a good majority. In view of these facts, the mayor could not consistently have taken any other course than that which he adopted last Monday night. The aldermen who voted against the introduction of the bylaw certainly did not act in accordant e with the wishes of the ratepayers, as expressed at the last city election. We suspect that the origin of the trouble can be traced to the recent work of the license commissioners, as some of the aldermen have not yet recovered from the pique sustained by the action of the board in cancelling two licenses. They should not carry their revenge too far. We look for an adjustment of the present tangle at the next council meeting, as we are loth to believe that the citizens are de- siious of incurring the expense of another election, which would in all probability cost more than the mayor's salary would amount to. soon become wealthy. To give an air of probability to the accusation, the Citizen proceeded to explain that this official had used tho cheque in payment of a grocery bill. This is the kind of damnable slander indulged in by the Conservative press. The finance department at Ottawa makes an unqualified denial of the accusation, and it is denounced as false anrl malicious. It will be observed that no names are given, just the same general charge against an ollicial of a great and responsible department without any particulars whatever. Such a charge puts a cloud upon every official in the department. In this case action will be taken at once to compel a retraction of the obnoxious article, hut in the inoantime the damage has been done; the calumny has been repeated, reprinted and republished throughout Canada. When the retraction comes, as come it will, very few who read the original slander will see it; partial reparation is all that is possible under the most favorable circumstances. In the interim the public mind is being inflamed and prejudiced against the government, which is powerless to stop such dishonorable methods of political warfare. A statement such as this, while it has its orign in an obscure paper, always finds its way into some great daily of large circulation, and the damage is intensified. These are Tory methods. This is the Tory policy. This is a fair sample of the means employed to dethrone the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, for the purpose of handing it over to an unorganized coterie of ambitious, bun gry politicians.

FORM NO. 13, LAND ACT The first number of the British Columbia Saturday Sunset, published at Vancouver by Ford-MoConnell, Ltd., has been received at this office. Sunset is a high-class weekly, and is the most pretentious publication of its class ever attempted in this province. It consists of twenty pages; is ably and carefully edited, printed on fine calendared paper, and liberally illustrated. Taken as a whole, it is a credit to the province, and should meet with hearty support. Sir Frederick Treves, King Edward's favoiite physician, says that the time is not far distant when the bottles on doctors'shelves will be reduced to a very small number. He looks forward, to the time when people will leave off the extraordinary habit of taking medicine when they are sick. In his opinion recourse will be had to simple living, simple diet and plenty of sun and fresh air. There is no doubt that the indiscriminate taking of drugs is one of the greatest evils of our present-day civilization, and there is a growing convict Ion among the best medical practitioners that the habit is largely responsible for the increasing numbers of physical and intellectual pigmies in our population. Our pedantic local contemporary accuses the Victoria Times of being tio one-sided politically. It mny never have occurred to our friend acoss the street that he is conducting a paper which is so biased that it has never discovered any peculiar transactions iu its own party 111 this province. Pair play should be the same the world o er, but once in a while a new variety of that commodity appears to crop up in this vicinity. A short time ugo the school trustees sent out circulurs inviting tenders lor school stationery for the coming term. These were mailed to the two stationery stores in the city and to the Gazette office, but The Sun was studiously omitted, although this office is in every respect as capable of furnishing the supplies as its competitor. As the trustees committed a similar offense a year ago, we did not like to let this matter pass by unnoticed. While we may have no inclination to break into the stationery business, yet fair play demands that we should be placed on the same footing as the Gazette, even though sonic of thi trustees happen to own stock in that paper.
