CHAIETO TIE Grand Forks Hockey Team May Yet Prove Champions of Boundary Big Excursion to Phoenix Tonight—An Amusing Game The Greenwood Hockey club won from Phoenix in the Boundary league championship series at Greenwood last Tuesday night by A score of 2 goals to 1. Tonight Grand Forks plays in Phoenix, and if our team wins the two clubs will be tied for the Boundary championship. An excursion party will accompany the club to Phoenix. A special train will leave the Kettle Valley line station at 6:30 this evening, and it is expected that a large crowd ol local entnuasists will accompany the boys up the hill. Standing of Hockey Clubs The standing of the Boundary league of hockey clubs at present is as follows: Played. Won. Lost Phoenix 7 5 2 Grand Forks 7 4 3 Greenwood 7 2 5 left wind, but he made up for his luck of alacrity by keeping the audience informed as to the score. Mr. Vedder, the goalkeeper, took compassion on the puck and refrained from abusing it. He gives as un excuse for his innocuous stick work, that he is too kind-hearted to injure an inanimate object that bears him no enmity. The attendance of spectators was as large as at any game this season, and they appeared to enjoy the sport as much as the players themselves. They all remained to tlio end, although it must have been a long game, because the iStiti sank and rose three times during the progress of play. The players were just getting warmed up to their work when time was called in the last half. Had some one had the foresight to amend the Lord's Day Act, the game would probably have lasted a couple of hours longer. Tlio line-up follow: SUN. POSITION.

It is quite probable that Peter A. Z.'s and the Sun's hockey aggregations will play a return engagement at the rink tomorrow night. This time it will be for blood. The Sun feels confident. It is also rumored that the Ladies' Hockey club intends to challenge the winners, NEWS OFTHE CITY An Austrian Fined $20 and Costs for Assaulting a Brakeman One of the fastest and best games of hockey witnessed at the local rink this winter was played on Monday night between teams" selected by A. K. Mann and Wilford Baker, the regnlur league club being divided between the two teams, die balance of the required number being made up of well known local hockey material. The game was swift from start to finish. At half time the score was 1 goil to nil in favor of Mr. Baker's team. During the second half Mr. Mann's team scored one goal, making the score 1-1 when time was called. In the playoff it was fully fifteen minutes before the next goal was scored, which gave the game of Baker's whirlwind players by 2 goals to 1. The line-ups folio*: MANN. POSITION.

The Sun man and Peter A. Z. were elected captains because tbey were supposed to know more ubout tbe game than tho rest of the players. The game started out with swift playing hy Pare's men, tho first goal being Booted by that toem, and for a time it looked as it the barber's seven would win tint game by a close shave). After a while, however, the Sun rose, and three or four goals were made in rapid succession, and when time was called at the end of the last half the score was 6 glials to 4 in the Hun's favor. Mclnnes, Stephens, Munro and Cavanagh deserve most of the credit for the playing on the winning side. Petrie meant well, but he was on the fence most of the time for rough playing. The Sun played centre, with the emphasis on centre. He did not hit the puck as often as he should havo done, but it was such a small and insignificant thing that he took pity on it. He has made it a rule in life never to strike anything smaller than himself. Mr. Gibson was on all sections of the ice simultaneously. On the losing side the players appeared to be pretty evenly matched, and they all worked hard to win. Captain Peter A. _. was, perhaps, a little too stationary ut Noted Horticultural Expert Correspondence of The San. Spokane, Feb. 24.—George W, Sloop, state horticultural expert of Pennsylvania, is in the northwest as representative of a syndicate of Pennsylvania and Ohio cagitalists, spying out land for the establishment of a large orchard. He has visited the largest orchards in the Yakima, Wenatehee, Spokane, Tou- cet and Columbia river valleys, and will go into the Hood Hiver and other districts in Oregon and central Idaho, also taking in the Boundary district in British Columbia, He said in an interview: "Conditions and opportunities for orchardists in the northwest, are favorable, but I have not as yet made up my mind as to where the best location for a large orchard may be had. When I have finished my trip through the. northwest I shall .return to the east, ronfer with iny backers antl then return to this country. At thtit time I shall decide upon a location and establish an orchard." Mr. Sloop talked with many orchardists and ranchers in eastern and central Washington, and, while he admitted he was not familiar with the soil and climatic conditions, he was able to give them valuable information of a general nature, including hints on the correct method of pruning fruit trees. He tilso noted that in the central Washington valleys there is a tendency to plant too many varieties. The list, he saitl, should be confined to two or three of the best varieties, to be tlecidod upon by condition!) and ttie markets, and then brought up to lhe highest state of perfection, adding that in tbis way tbe best remits will be obtained from commercial orchards. Ladies' Rifle Club Preparing for a Busy Summer on the Range Tom Bigus, an Austrian, was arrested at the C P.R. depot in this city on Tuesday hist on a charge of ssaulting E. H. Barrett, a C.P.R. brakemen, nt Fife. At the preliminary hearing before Police Magistrate Cochrane the case was remanded till 3 oc'lock Thursday afternoon. At the trial yesterday afternoon Bigus was found guilty as charged, and wns fined $20 and costs or one month's imprisonment in the jail at Nelson. Rifle Club Meeting A business meeting of the Ladies' Rifle club was held at the rssidence of Mrs. P. Clark on Saturday aftei- noon, the 20th inst. The club greatly regrets having to accept the resignation of its capab'e serntary, Miss Musgrove, who leaves shortly for Vancouver. Miss Bruce was elecied secretary for the ensuing year, Mrs. Mclntyre, the president, remaining in office. Many plans for the coming season were adopted, as keen competition is expected on account of the forming a Ladies' Riffe club in Nelson. on this continent. Mr. 8f.Uttzis company is composed of capable j artists, and the pluys presented here were well staged and costumed. Tbe plays put on here were "Was She to Blame?" "King's Evidence," "Ole Olson" and "A Gambler's Wife." Curlers Set a Few Games The Grand Forks curlers who went up to Phoenix last Monday won a number of games. Mclnnes' rink, composed of N. L. Mclnnes, E. E. Gibson, Mr. Longhurst and A. B. Hood, defeated Stracban's rink of Phoenix by a score of 5 to 8. Hood's rink, composed of A. B. Hood, D. D. Munro, J. A. McCallum and G. M. Fripp, defeated Mclnnes' rink by a score of 9 to 10, and Traunweiser's rink, consisting of Al. Traunweiser, G. M. Fripp, D. D. Munro and J. D. Campbell, defeated Mclnnes' rink by a score of 4 to 6. Lena Duthie to Appeir Here It has at hist been definitely arranged that Miss Lena Duthie, the famous Scottish vocalist and entertainer, will appear here. Miss Duthie's performance, "An Evening in Scotland and Ireland," is one of pleasing variety, and never a dull moment is in evidence. With the assistance of Margaret Daniel, an accompanist of note, Lena Duthie presents in song and story the national life of Scotland and Ireland. Her character sketches in costume are said to be extremely humorous and artistic in fieir presentation. Lena Duthie has appeared in every civilized land, and the foremost cities of the world hnve recogn'zel her musical talent. Her voice is a lyric soprano of great sweetness and power, and once heard is never forgotten. In her renditions of the undying songs of .Scotland and Ireland, by her marvelous voice and magnetic presence, she has held enraptured vast audiences, while as nn entertainer she occupies the very foremost rank. The seats for this extraordinary attraction are now on sale nt Itter's book store, nnd a rare opportunity is offered to henr one of the world's great artists on Tuesday evening next. A Good Show J. G, Stutiz's theatre company gave four performances at tbe opera house during thc lirst half of thc present week. With j the exception of Tuesday night, when there were couuter attractions, the audiences (were of average size. Mr. Stuttz I enjoys the distinction of being the oldest actor on the American stage : today, and there is no doubt of his ability as an impersonator. He is , an actor who possesses an interesting history. Many years ago he received at the hands of the French ! government the decoration of the Cross of the Legion of Honour for j the natural acting. While here Mr. Stuttz showed this decoration to the Sun man, together with a silver coin I which he Btated had been presented to him by President I'orfirio Diaz, of Mexico, and which is reputed to be the first piece of money coined Cape-to-Cairo Line Mr. F. von Ghoel Gildernteester. chief engineer of the Capetown- Cairo railway system, and now in charge of operations which, within a few years, will form tbe connecting link between north and south Africa, is now ln New York. He is in the States to make a study of the railway systems of that country. "In the Capetowu-Cairo railway," says Mr. Gildenieester, ;'there is at present a 'stretch of about 2500 miles to be completed. It lies between Khartoum and the British Egytian Soudan to Broken Hill, a point in Rhodesia. It is estimated that the remaining mileage will be completed within three years, and then the longest railroad in the world, covering in the neighborhood of 6400 miles, will he finished. What do I estimate the total cost to he? Very close to 11,000,000,000, I should say, but a comparatively smull amount when it is considered what a glorious thing it will be for Alricn, one of the greatest and richest countries of the world. It will be possible for tbe travelers to journey from Berlin or Paris to Capetown in ten or eleven days. Just think of that!" MADE RICH FIND Rancher Finds 154 Pounds of Opium Cached in a Snowbank Manufactured in Victoria and Enroute for the Spokane Market DEATH OF MRS. WOOSTER Mrs. Phcebe (Ferris) Wooster died nt 4:20 a.m. on February 25th, 1909, after a short illness of meningitis, following an at:ack of tonsili- tis. Mrs. Wooster was the wife of Mr. Getir-'e Williams Wooster, treasure r of the Grnnby Consolida- ted Mining, Smelling & Power Co., Ltd. She was born on December 1,5, 1869, at Carthage, Hancock county, Illinois, where she lived un- tel her marriage with Mr. Wooster, which took plnce in that town on October 3rd, 1«93. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Wooster went to Spokane, Wash , and they resided in that city until the spring of 1901, when they moved their family to Grand Forks, where they have lived continuously since that date. Mrs. Wooster is survived by her husband and two children, Mnude nnd Hiram F. Wooster, besides her mother, three sisters antl live brothers. The remains were taken to Spokane this morning, the surviving members of the family antl a number of relatives accompanying the body in the private cur Untie. The funeral services will be held in that city from the home of detetsed's sister, the wife of Mr. Frank Graves. Burial will take place at Greenwood cemetery, Spoknne. Deceased enjoyed a wide circle of warm personal friends, all of whom will lenrn with profound sorrow of her sudden death. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved family. CITY SAUNTERINGS It is reported in local railway circles that the Great Northern is about to resume its Sunday passenger service from Marcus to western points, and that tbe lirst train will arrive in the city on .Sunday, March 4th. It is stnted lhat a pupil contracted Straobotna, an eye disease, by using one of the towels at the public school. This appears to be a case for the local health officers to investigate. Manager A 11. Hood, of the local branch of the Eastern Townships bank, is daily expecting from the head office at .Sherbrooke, Que., the plans of tbe new banks building to be erected in this city tbis spring. Opium smuggling is evidently not entirely stamped out at this port. A fanner named John Brunskinn, who lives a few miles south of Laurier, while walking aloong the railroad track one day this week, noticed footprints in the snow leading from the track to one side. Being of an investigating turn of mind, the man decided to assume the role of Sherlock Holmes nnd see if the re was anything at the other end of tracks. He had follows the footprints but a short distance when he arrived at a snowbank. In tbe snowbank he found cached a box containing 154 pounds of opium, manufactured at tbe coast cities in this province and presumably destined for Spokane by s|ow freight. The man carried the drug home with him, and subsequently turned it over to W. Page, United Stafes deputy collector of customs at Danville, who now hns it in his possess- sion. Not the slightest clue has so far been discovered as to the identity of tbe smugglers, ns it was not suspected that any work of tbis nature wus going on. The action of the man in turning the drug over to the customs officers is an eloquent confirmation of the proverbial honesty of farmers. He had a small fortune in his possession, which he could easily have disposed ol, once it had crossed the line. The duty on opium entering the United is <-U certificates for the purpose of making a settlement with the shareholders. Dr. C. M.

[FROM THE IIUI.ISTAN OF SA DI, Going oil, and baiting, is better than running ahead antl breaking down. A man is insensible to the relish of prosperity till he lias tusteil adversity. A friend whom it takes an age to conciliate, it were wrung all at once to alienate. The sinner who spends and gives away is better than the devotee who begs and lays by. Hadst thou but one perfection anil seventy faults, the lovei could discern that one perfection. At the variegated table of life we partake of a few inouthfuls, and the fates say: Enough. It were idle to tnlk of a hornet lo hiin who has never during his life inarted from its sting. Whoever devotees his hoart to a snul deluder puts his head or reputation ir.to the hands of another. With a stone in his hand, and the snake's head convenient, a wise man hesitates not in crushing it. When thou addrassest the low with urbanity and kindness, it only adds to their pride and arrogance. To think before they speak, and to deliberate before they act, are duties incumbent upon all mankind. Expect not the sprightliness of youth from the aged, for the stream that ran by can never return. Learn not the tale of love from that faithless fellow who can neglect his beloved when exposed to danger. Reason is in like manner enthralled ley passion, as an uxorious man is in the hands of an artful woman. Now that thou art old, reliiujuish childishness, and leave it to the young to indulge in play and merriment. Whoever was not taught good manners in bis boyhood, fortune will forsake him when he becomes a man. Thou mayest bend the green bough as thou likest, but let it once get dry, and it will require heat to straighten it. Thou mayest shut the door of joy upon that awe]ling where thou nearest resounding the scolding voice of a woman. If the but does not relish the company of the suu, the all-current brilliancy of that luminary can suffer no diminution. In a series of years a stone changes into a ruby; take heed, antl destroy it uot at once by dashing it against another stone. After having been an authority, it is hard to obey; after having heen fontlhiti with caresses, to put up with men's violence. Were the innate capacity is good, education may make an impression upon it; but no furliisher knows how to give a polish to iron which is of a had temper, Knowledge is a perennial spring and ovor-during fnrtnne; were h professional mall to lose his fortune, he need not feel regret, for knowledge is of itself a mine of wealth. Wherever he may sojourn the learned man will meet with respect, and be ushered into the upper seat; whilst the ignorant man must put up with offal and suffer want. Let a poor man commit a hundred indiscretions, and his companions will not notice one out of the hundred; but let a king utter but one foolish word, antl it will be echoed from kingdom to kingdom. Intellect without firmness, is craft and chicanery; and firmness without intellect, perverseness and obstinacy. First prudence, good sense, and dis crimination, and then dominion; for the dominion and good fortune of the ignorant are the armor of rebellion against God, Hotel Colin (fn*-1*- Great Northern Station p, D.

Republic Ships Kegularly The Republic News-Miner is authority for the statement thut the estimated value of a carload of ore from the New Repuhlic mine now ahout to leave the Great Northern yards in that city for the Tacoma smelter is 8IS.000. The ore is sacked and runs between two and three hundred dollars per ton. This class of ore is being broken in tho mine, and more than one car will go forward during the coming months. This carload of ore is by all odds the best car ever shipped in the en- lire northwest. No other mining district of the northwest has ever produced a carload of this grade of ore. This is a distinction that will make many people stop and give heed to the new and great future ahead of Republic camp. Two other carloads were shipped to the Granby smelter this week, and henceforward shipments will follow in quick succession. About eighty-live hundred dollars were disbursed among Republic people by the New Republic company this week. Already business has felt the inflow of money, and the old enthu- siusiD is returning to Republic's citizens. New Republic i^tock is in actual deftptfni. The .S'poirani? brokers are d'rfily lulylirtisiriK . for it.
