Those accustomed to the making of roads claim that\nevery spring will see a repetiinn of the\nsame state of affairs until the Government make an appropriation towards\ndefraying the cost of raising the road\nbed. A matter that should have received attention this summer,\nW. T. Armstrong of Vernon visited\nBoundary lust week and went ns far as\n(\"arson. He purchased a lot at Anaconda, and intends lo open a branch\nbusiness in hardware there this summer. Speaking of the mail facilities\nfnr this district, Mr. Armstrong remarked that the proposed system if\ngranted would he due chiefly to the\nefforts made by the people of Vernon,\nMr. McKelvie of the News, himself\nand others having made strong representations to Ottawa urging the necessity of a change foe the better. If\nso, we are greatly indebted to the\npeople of Vernon.\nNotice is given of application for\nletters patent fo Incorporate the Midway Company, limited, for the purpose of acquiring nnd colonizing lauds\nin British Columbia, Manitoba and\nelsewhere in Canada, capital $80,000.\nThe applicants are Robert 0, Adams,\nHart land St. Clair MacDimgall, Alexander Paterson.

But, while they\nwould not turn a dog away hungry,\nthey draw the line at bears. The bears,\nhowever, don'l seem to appreciate the\nfact, The other day a particularly\nshaggy and unkempt specimen of the\ngenus bruin visited Harry Morgan's\nlent and, looking ut some bacon suspended to the roof, remarked: \"Now,\nIf there is one thing in the world I do\nlike it is really good fat bacon.

The CaiTOli townsite\npeople believe Ihal I licit- town is the\nnatural distributing point and trade\ncentre of their end of the district. Ill\nis situated in such a way that a railroad entering lhe reservation will lie\nbound lo establish a depot there. They\nthink thai, when (he new road by Lone\nand Mowuji creeks is built, and engineers are now surveying the route,\nthat travel from the Slates will l.e entirely diverted to Carson.

The claim was Ineated on the\n20th ot July, 1803, by J. Atwood. Later\non it wus leused lo A, N. Synionds, J.\nWnllnce and It. N.

The ore chute has been\ntrocok on I he surface for 400 feet, The\nLexington Mining Company is bolh\nwealthy and enterprising, and it, may\ntherefore be safely predicted that the\nSkylark will be worked for all it is\nworlh.
