One of those bright social events that goes to make life in a small town so pleasant was held on Monday night when a number of Mrs. F. E. Keffer's friends gathered at her residence, Anaconda.

Tables were quickly pnt in readiness for cards, Mrs. Keffer winning the first prize for ladies and Wm. Wilson got the first gentlemen's while Mrs. Malcolm the booby prize. Refreshments were then served after which music and singing passed away a very enjoyable evening. Rebecca's At Home The At Home of the Rebecca's held last Friday night was a very great success from ' every standpoint. In point the numbers there were as many people as the hall would comfortably accommodate, and everybody came determined to have a good time and to see that everyone else had. At 8.30 the whist drive began and lasted until about 11. Mrs. Malcolm captured the first prize for tbe ladies, and G. B. Taylor for the gentlemen, while the consolation prizes went to Miss Buckless and Mr. McCollough.- Refreshments were served after which the hall was cleared for dancing. Let us have more of these pleasant social evenings, for they draw the community closer together, drive away the care and tribulations of life and are a benefit to all. Communication Greenwood, B.C. March 2nd To The Editob, Gbeenwood Ledge. Deab Sir: (Be Greenwood Hockey) I trust you will allow me space in your valuable paper to bring to the attention of the citizens of Greenwood and also to all those interested in hockey in the surround' ing district the question as to whether it is their intention in future to support a similar aggregation of players as that produced by the local club this season. ������-: Opinions have been freely, ex pressed that in spite of our unfortunate position in the league, the supporters of the game have been well repaid and hockey of this nature has had a material bearing in stimulating the prosperity of the town, if this is the case and I am convinced myself that it is so, there is no reason why we should not arrange for the next season players. Unfortunately professional hockey cannot exist alone oh the enthusiasm of its snpporters and unless they are willing to contribute liberally to its financial existence, it will be impossible to undertake HuB-work,----".- =--���7 "���--'- ��� I have been requested to call a General Meeting for the purpose of discussing the question as well as submitting the financial statement. I trust all those who are interested will find it convenient to attend as a great deal depends on the enthusiasm shown as to whether Greenwood can support a hockey team or not.* The executive wonld also appreciate an early response from those, who are still in arrears for this season's subscriptions and skating tickets. Thanking you for your kindness, I remain, Youas Truly F. W. McLAlNE, President Greenwood Hockey Club.

All signs point to a busy summer in the Boundary. Nelson is still waiting for its new daily paper, Spring poetry and green onions are already in the market. It you are at a loss what to do get a bit of land and start a hen ranch, exclaimed an English bishop on seeing a criminal led to execution. ���Dr. Frank Crane. Live Now WE hare plenty of scenery in B.C,, but are short on fresh eggs. What happens when an irresistible force collides with an immovable body? Throwing mud at your neighbors is a favorite pastime in small commuuities. The hockey season is over with the exception of paying the bills, March came in like a la-nb, and it will probably go out like a kitten. The desire to get rich quick keeps many people poor. The season for taking sulphur and molasses has arrived. Every man has an ideal, although he seldom reaches it. Thinking Themes "It's a fine day," says the traditional Englishman, "let's go out and kill something." The wild beast in us demands something to pursne and slay. Even those who have no taste for slaughtering game have somewhat of the hunter lingering in qhem, which one finds on looking closely. There are little corner cages in all our minds where we keep bloodthirsty thoughts against certain classes I had always regarded Mormons for instance, as proper food for the exterminating sword, and was amazed, one time when I went among them, to find them as a rule as genial and human as those of my own sect. In fact, human nature is about the same in Fez or Tokio, and when you come to know men you see that the difference is only veneer. Yet the Southerner keeps a little bloody thought for the negro, the Gentile for the Jew, the Christian for the Tnrk, the white man for the yellow, the North Sidere for the South Siders. It is wholesome for any man to think that under another man's circumstances he might be as bad or worse. "There goes my wicked self!" Forty years ago there came a brilliant, eloquent charmer into public life. His name was Robert Ingersoll. Had he lived in the Sixteenth Century he would have been Milton's dearest foe. He was not afraid of the Unknown. He had the faith of Darwin, the courage of Martin Luther, the enthusiasm of Dante. It was said of him that he laughed the devil out of court, and that his tears of pity put ont the fires of hell. He held up to ridicule barbaric myths and the terrors of the bogy man, so that even the most conservative smiled. The warmth of his heart and the generosity of his mind relaxed the rigor mortis of hands that held the bonds of orthodox minds. "Live, and let others live!" said Ingersoll. It is more righteous to give joy than to punish sinners. The past is dead. Let it bury its dead. Tear down the bastile. There is nothing to fear. No one can save you but yourself. No one can harm you but yourself. Be free! Live, love, laugh, play." We are heirs of the ages. All that is past, all the people who have taught, all the people who have learned, have made this time, this opportunity, this moment, possible for us. The fact that we are expending, during this fiscal year, seventy- two per cent of our aggregate revenue in preparing for wars, leaving only twenty-eight per cent of our revenue available to meet all other governmental expenditures, including internal improvements, the erection of public buildings, the improvement of rivers and harbors, and the conservation of our natural resonrces, is to my mind appaling. It should arrest the attention of the American people, and not only cause them to demand a decrease in these unnecessary war expenditures, but also prompt them to aid in every way possible in the creation of public sentiment that would favor the organization of an international federation whose decisions and actions in the peaceful settlement of controversies between nations would be recognized and accepted as the final determination thereof. If tbis were done, it wonld not necessarily moan the entire abandonment of armies and navies, but it would so far remove the possibility of international wars as to make unnecessvry the expenditure of tbe stupendous sums now being collected from the people in the form of taxes and expended for the purpose of maintaining armed peace.���Hon. J. A. Tawney. The other day a teacher in a school showed a little girl a picture of a fan, and asked her what it was. The little girl didn't appear to know. What does your mother do to keep cool in hot weather? asked the teacher. "Drink beer!" was 1-he prompt reply. Cloak of Religion The Dervish as a rule live in utter squalor. Many of them have no clothes at all from the day of their birth until their death. They smear their bodies in mud made from wood ashes, and twist their matted hair into a sort of turban. Some of them travel, not by camel or by foot, but by turning handsprings, which they will keep np for hours at a time, and many are known to have travelled hundreds of miles in this remarkable fashion. Whether they are really religious, or merely assume the cloak of religion to impose upon the devout Mohammedans upon whom they live in times of peace, is more or less a mystery. The fact that they do not work, and that hundreds of them make their living by the sale of noxious drugs, does not bear out the theory of a devout if mistaken fanaticism. Whatever may be their character, they are ever ready to seize the opportunity of robbing and killing a Christian. In times of peace they have to< work more steathily, but when war breaks oat or the country is not properly protected their crimes become more glaring. Dentists in Hades An evangelist was exhorting his hearers to flee from the wrath to come. "I warn you," he thundered, "that there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth!" At this moment an old woman in the gallery stood up. "Sir," she shouted, "I have no teeth." "Madam," returned the evangelist severely "they will be provided." Deadliest Game Alive Sandy was having his first taste of life in the African forests. Borrowing a gun, he Bet off one day in search of game, A little later his companions spied in the distance Sandy running at full speed for home, with a huge lion behind him, gaining at every step. Quick quick, Jock!" he cried, "open the door. I'm bringing him home alive." dred miles of us?" "Dunno, but this won't be no scrub hangin.' I also want some b'ar's grease for my hair, and I wan to be buried under that tree down whar the Yuba trail cuts in." "B'ar's grease! How we goin' to get it?" demanded the judge. "And don't you think this crowd is going to lug yer dead body three miles to plant it? Jim, ye hain't playin' us far. Why can't ye take things as they be? "It's my haugin', ain't it?" asked Jim. "Of course." "I'm the deeply injured party 1 reckon?" "Yaas, that's so." "Wall, then, I want things my way. I want the bar'l ��� which will be kicked from under me to be a whiskey bar'l. I ai_'t goin' to step from no pork barrel into eternity. And I want ye to send back to Illinoy fur my brother-inlay. He alius said I'd be hung, and I want him yere to see the fun. And I wan't to know how my grave's to be fixed up, and what's going to be said on the head-board." "Prisoner," said the Judge, after looking him over, "ain't ye playin' this crowd low down?" "I'm a-playin' my own band." was the retort. "This yere case was left to the joory brung ye in guilty, but as Jedge of this court I'm goin' to make a change, Jim Trueman, we won't hang ye." "Butl've rights." VNo use, Jim; ye've got to go. This yere camp o' Golden Flats hangs a man for fun and not for hard work. It does it to obleege, and not out of rights in the case. I thought I knowed ye before, but I didn't. Year' a blamed mean and over partickler kuss and this crowd can be jes as mulish as ye are'. The hangin' is off, and if ye don't leave camp within two hours we" roll ye down hill in a bar'l." Jim growled, and kicked and quoted law, but tho boys were firm, and at sundown Golden Flats knew him no more. The Preacher %Z<^~l~Z~Z~tt~l"tt~Z"l~Z~Z~Z^ Last eve I sought the church and heard a gifted pastor preach the Word. He talked of men whose days were over two thousand years ago or more. He talked of kings whose bones were dust, whose sceptres were reduced to rust so long ago their stories seem like fragments of a summer dream. He said no word of those who strive in this old world, intense, alive, who fight their battles every day, obscurely, in their feeble way. I'd just as soon be in the dark concerning Father Noah's ark; I care not for the tents of Baal, or Joseph's corn, or Joanah's whale; I want to hear my pastor talk about the people on this block, whose lives are full of Btings and smarts' whose problems often break their hearts. I'd rather learn some way to cheer some hopeless toiler struggling here, and learn how Pharaoh blew his dough about five thousand years ago. The dust of kings in ancient ground is worth a half a cent a pound; and Ashnr's widows' tears were dried before old Julius Caesar died; the things of which my pastor talks are dead as Adam's brindled ox, but all around us there are cries and wringing hands and weeping eyes. He'll have to get his text on straight, and bring his gospel up-to-date. ��� Walt Mason. t f y y y y y v y x y t x x X Windsor Hotel THOROUGHLY RENOVATED AND SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR COMMERCIAL TRADE To achieve success in any business undertaking, you must have certain essential elements present.

And when you have opportunity, and ability, and integrity, and character, 'and money, why, then yonr problem is a simple one and success is assured. ���W. E. Robertson. Too Mean to Hang No one at Golden Flats suspected Jim Trueman of being an over-particular man and willing to upset the routine of things until he killed Abner Parks and had been sentenced to be hanged. He probably didn't mean to kill Parks when he hurled a rock at him, but death resulted, the jury said he was guilty, and Judge Watkins rose and observed: "Jim, it's a hangin case. You've bin with us along time, and you've got heaps of friends in camp, and we'll leave this mostly to you. When d'ye want to hang!" "On b fnjll moon and at midnight." replied Jim, who seemed to have already laid out his programme. "Shoo! That's three weeks away, and you can't ask us to turn out at midnight and fool around for an hour." "But I do. And I want seven men to walk ahead oi me and sing a sad song as wo march. Then I want to be hung in a white shirt."

The editor replies: "If you will send us your photograph we may be able to tell you the reason." It is no compliment when a woman says, 'Oh all men arealike." From the States comes the story of how a statue of George Washington, was approached by an interested American. "I think you will agree with me, sir," said the American, "that he was a great and good man. A lie never passed his lips."

While ten men wait for something to turn up, one turns something up;.so while ten fail, one succeeds ond is called a man, of luck, the favorite of fortune. Luck and fortune is the result of honest endeavor, work and toil, and if you would succeed, go to work. ���'' ������ * * * There is no happiness in life, there is no misery like that growing out of the dispositions which consecrate or desecrate the home. Home should be so truly home that the weary, tempted heart could turn to it anywhere on the dusty highway of life and receive light and strength. What a blessing it is when weary with care and burdened with Sorrow, to have a home to which we can go, and there in the midst of friends we love, forget our troubles and dwell in peace and quietness. Home is the chief school of human virtue. Its responsibilities, joys, sorrows, smiles, tears, hopes and solicitudes form the chief interest of human life. * '...���������������-���������* * * Sometimes a person's tongue gets them into trouble, watch the tongue; it is your tongue, it belongs to you/ and is the only one for which you are responsible.

Let.the Helmsmen keep wide awake. It can bless or it can curse; it can poison or heal; it can pierce hearts or blight hopes; it can sow discord or separate chief friends.

Thfcy are e0<><><><>a<>0<>0<>^^ The mining prosperity of Ross- laud ia thus described in the Vancouver Province: Rossland mines"", are in better shape than ever, and the camp is now assured of a long life ahead. jvosslaud lias produced since 1896 ore to tlie value oi about 854.000, 000. Of this large production the War Eagle-Centre Star Group, owned by the Consolidated Mining Company, Limited, leads with ��26- 500,000: febe Le Roi owned by the same company, comes next with over 822,500,000; and the production of Le Roi _NTo. 2 has amounted to about ��o,O00,000. Last year saw the largest production Bince 100S, tlie total output of the camp being little short of $3,500,000 made np of 133-,300 ounces gold, 105 ounces silver silver and 2.200,000 pounds copper. Present development is giving batterer esults than have been expected, the ore reserves on fehe War Eagle having been largely increased during the past year, particularly on levels Nos. 13 and 14 where the gold values_show an increase iu large shoots. On the Le Roi fehe ore reserves were doubled during the'past'Jyear. In his preliminary report on the operations of the past year the provincial mineralogist estimates the new development work done on the Centre Star at 10,600 feet, and that done on the Le Roi at over 44,000 feet. Near the Black Bear powerhouse fehe company has established a concentrabing plant for testing ores, this plant including flotation and cyanide processes. A 40 drill compressor this powerhouse has been changed from steam to electric drive. The encouragaing feature of the development of the Rossland camp is that the ore bodies have been found to improve in size and value with depth. As an instance of this Le Roi No. 2 Limited has developed unusually good ore at a depth of 1500 feet, and on the northern portion of that company's ground, to which little attention has hitherto been paid, encouraging results are attending development. Development work on the Josie totalled 5,010 feet and diamond drilling 15,075 feet. Le Roi No. 2 increased its shipments to Trail smelter for the year to 22,300 tons of ore aud concentrates; as compared with 18,257 tons for previous year. The provincial m ineralogist reports: "From nearly 40,500 tons of mixed ore that was 500 tons of mill ore. In addition 1,700 tons of ore came from the deep level development. The mill ore yielded 1,600 tons of concentrate," The value of crude ore from the Le Roi No. 2 shipped to Trail smelter ran 0.643 ounces of gold, 1-19 ounces of silver, and 1,94 per cent copper per ton. The concentrates carried 0.81 ounces of gold, and 181 pounds ' copper per ton. Ore is mined from all levels from 200 feet to 900 feet inclusive and on 1100 feet and 1500 feet levels, the last corresponding in depth with the 1650 feet level of the Le Roi adjoining, and the 1100 feet level corresponding with No. 9 of the War Eagle. Other properties operated at Rossland were the Giant-California, which shipped 102 tons; Nickel Plate shipping 93 tons, and the Phoenix, shipping 23 tons, In the South Belt the Richmond Consolidated erected mine buildings, constructed head frame over Lily May shaft; installed 16-drill compressor and steam hoise and continued in proving up ore on the 200-foot level of the Lily May. At Paulson in Rossland mining division, the Inland Empire kept its mill running. A. Good Performance. Ten carloads of high-grade silver-lead ore were shipped the past week from the Silver Standard mine on Glen mountain, seven miles from New Hazelton. This makes a total of twenty-four carloads, or seven hundred and twenty-one tons. The last loads were brought down from the mine on Monday afternoon last and the last cars were shipped from this point on Wednesday's freight, Last year the Silver Standard shipped just a little over three hundred tons and it is safe to predict that this year's shipment, while more than double in size, will also be much more valuable, as greater pains were taken in sorting. Besides the seven hundred tons shipped the company has on the damps in the neighborhood of two thousand tons of concentrating ore that will return an immense amount of money after .treatment. Just when the concentrator will be installed has not yet been decided. Speaking to D. McLeod, general manager for the company, the Herald was informed that there will be another carload or two shipped out this winter providing the Bleighing remains. At the present time the mine force is cleaning out the bunkers and sacking np what ore is left, preparatory to resuming development work to be undertaken first. It is most likely that the shaft on the No. 3 vein will be continued to another level. Other work will be announced later.���Hazelton Herald. Ouch!

Grand Forks Relinquishes Cups to Trail Owing to many other abbr&etiions there wa__ not a large attendance at the Star Theatre last Friday anight when the Lyric Amateur Dramatic soetaby of Grand Forks presented in a wery finished manner uWhat Happened to Jones." Those who were, present, however, were very appreciative and the members of the society are entitled to great crediH forjthe excellent presentation of (Lis comedy. The hearty applause and roars of laughter which greeted each comical sifcnatiem did in a measure compensate this tal- enled company for their trouble In giwang Greenwood a really first class show. Jones was the man who ot_d�� the best, oi opportunities and -the character "was taken to a nicety fcjr E, Hai-rison. It was a series o�� mirth prowoking situations cleverly taken, Ebeanezer Goodly, a proi.es-.or of ana6omy, with a latent stoea-k of a lova of sport which Ipads to his undoing and a series of amusing comjiticatioDS, was impereorjated by WalliamOWalker in a manner which displayed rare histrionic abHi-iy, while the original Bishop of Ballarat, who was the duaocenb viciiBQ of a heap of trouble, E. C. Coy was especially good, Mrs. GoedLy Ebene_er'swife, was played by Mubs E. Best in exceHenl Bfeyle, giving a faithful interpretation of th�� wife who nearly drives her husD&nd distracted with mistaken kindness. Mrs. C. M. Keron as Alvina Starlight, portrayed the romantic spinster of uncertain age in & way that brought forth much laughter from the audience, Kelma a Swedish girl, gave Mrs. F. J. Lake an excellent opportunity to show what could be done -with a small part in good hands. Cissy, Ebenezer's ward, in charge oi Miss Marjjorie Mann, gave a part that salted her well. Miss. J, Barlee and Miss M. Frost as Ebeuezer's two daughters, filled their respective'parts in a manner that allows of no criticism. G. 0. Broad, as Ricl:��rd Heatherly, engagec. to Marjjorie took the part in capital styl*. Mr. Fray, as a policeman; H. ]R. Broad, an inmate of a Bani- tarhim, and F. J. Lake, as head oi a sanitarium, all said their lines in 'good dramatic taste. W* hope when the Giand Forks Lyric Amateur Drama-tic society has another production, they will come to Greenwood when, nnder mora favorable circumstances they will be welcomed with a bumper hoasfe.

We would rather have seen the Nelson News and the McBride cups remain in the Boundary and thus prove to the world that the very best of hockey is played in tbis part of the country, but when the Boundary champions let them go by default to Trail, then we think, that Grand Forks is again showing that poor sportsmanship which they have exhibited all winter. Not only does this give Grand Forke another black eye but the whole' Boundary mast perforce bear part of the shame in not defending the title. Trail defeated Grand Forks at the latter's rink on Friday last by a score of 3-2. Grand Forks promised to play home and home games if ice permitted, but after getting the gate receipts on Friday night, they absolutely refused to play in Trail. It is' regrettable and deplorable that the Grand Forks officials could not show a better brand of sportsmanship. It is a pity that so noble a game and one that calls for the exercise of the finest instincts of human nature should be subjected to the selfish Equabbles of officials. Trail has proved themselves to be good sports and are entitled to the Interior Championship. Here's to yon, Trail, and let us hope you will meet Greenwood next year. AS RECEIVED OVEE THE THONE Emblems of Boundary Championship let go out of Boundary country by default. Grand Forks lost to Trail and then were not sports enongh to go through with the series of games agreed upon. Grand Forks groused and whined at every turn all winter. They had dates for exhibitions and league games all their own way. They got one game from Greenwood through having their own referee. It was a steal. They started to protest the next one before it was finished!, but they won, so this squeal did not get out of the bag. They misrepresented the retnms of games to at least one of their local papers. After winning the caps from Phoenix and overflowing with the wine of good fellowship they refused to play Trail in Phoenix although Phoenix had good ice. Trail met Grand Forks on their own water pool and won. Grand Forks had the gate receipts and then refused to go to Trail. The cups are gone from the Boundary but worst of .all the honor of Grand Forks iB in doubt. B CUFF BUTTONS |j ��- sphcially made to wear with the soft French cuff.
