Pawsey have been busy the past few days, packing Mrs. Harry Martin's furniture, which will be shipped to Kimberley. The Valley will loose a highly respected resident and the regrets will be many.

The United Farmers and Farm Women held their monthly meeting at Rock Creek on Saturday,-Jan. 9th.. It was well attended and the chief item of business was the amalgamation with the Farmers Institute. There are several clauses in the rules and regulations of the Institute which are not satisfactory to the TJ. F. members. Two "delegates,, George Pitman and Mrs. Smyrl, were chosen to represent them at the coming Institute meeting arid discuss these clauses. ' Kootenay Obligations Invariably Met In Inspector of Municipalities Robert Baird's list of,British Columbia cities that have gone to the wall, or partly so, but with protection to their securities, are three located in Kootenay-Boundary. ,- ' "Phoenix's reason for existence was one of the greatest mines of the continent, which later played out, and Greenwood was dependent on another important mine, also now of the past, both utilizing- low-grade copper ores. Sandon, one ofthe successive' "mining capitals" of the Kootenay, had to reduce in status when jt ceased to be a capital, though" producing as much wealth as ever. With Trail and Kimberley up and coming and growing hourly, with .Nelson,"Cranbrook, Fernie, solidly and well founded with every capacity for growth, with Rossland and Grand' Forks successfully adapting themselves to' new conditions, all of them in an excellent position municipally, and with smaller points developing municipally and industrially, ��� the -fact that three_Kootenay- Boundary points that have had municipal charters , have, had; hard sled ding has a more than ���adequate offset. Aud the fact remains that no municipal bondholder needs to worry over the Kootenay-Bound- ' ary country. <.,- Sandon was the first of the three points named to feel the pinch, asking relief in 1913, and being placed under a receiver. Iu a few years its -municipal debt of $10,000 was paid off. Reduced in status,* but nevertheless the huh of the rich vSlocan mining territory, with its- surrounding hills yielding dividends, Sandon has a clean sheet, and -many expect it to again join the list of cities. Though.Phoenix was'a deserted shell iu 1921, and the legis-" lature disincorporated it, ' its liabilities w;ere all paid and there was a balance over at the time of, disincorporation. There remains Greenwood, without the mines that made it a roaring smelter town, but with ." the new mining camp of Beaverdell part of its trading territory, and^with a budding ranching industry. % Greenwood, its glory _ gone, is steadily working out its salvation. In ��� 1921 it had an ' issue _mat urin g___wh ich^iLcouldL.-j not' meet. Under the City of Greenwood Relief "Act of, that year, au arrangement was authorized wherebyjhe debentures were . declared to be due .and debenture, holders were entitled to a pro rata distribution of all moneys available after payment of the necessary'costs of administration, expenditures also being subjecr ' to the approval of, a trustee named by the bondholders. Subject to the terms of its arrange-- ment with the government,^ Greenwood selects its council annually, and carries on its ad: ministration. "All interest is ' being paid and reductions are being made in the principal of the debt." If there should be no new mineral discoveries to "bring back", Greenwood and Phoenix, if the*.| huge mineral output of the Kootenay-Boundary country continues to be. mined exclusively in other localities, the fluctuations of fortune are not going to be permitted to injuriously affect those who loaned money for improvements to these, or any" other, Kootenay-Boundary municipalities."���The Nelson Daily News. Boys and Girls Pig Club Of Rock Creek The Yorkshire Committee of the Canadian Swine Breeders Kssociation donated 590.00 to be spent in B.C. in 1925 for Yorkshire hog "promotion work, and it was suggested that thjc. money be paid out in three prizes to the three highest standing Yorkshire~ Clubs in "the Pig Club work in this- province last year.
