Already a\nlarge number of horses are here\nfitting for the races and many\nfifom outside towns have signified their intentions of being\npresent and competing for the\nliberal purses offered. An excellent programme has been\npiovided and elaborate preparations are being made for\ncarrying it out satisfactorily,\nThe base ball matches will\nbe a great attraction.

J. Hill, of the\nGreat Northern said: \"We\nshall extend the spur to the\nGranby smelter at once, lt is\nalso our purpose to build to\nPhoenix and into the Similkameen.\nI am not prepared now to say\nI how soon we shall extend the\nline to Phoenix. But we must\ndevelop that northern territory.\nThey need coke. There is line\ncoking coal in the Crow's Nest\nand we have a fine road there\nnow. We are ready to haul the\ncoal and coke, but it has to be\nmade first.\nWe are going to extend two\nbranches up north. We will\nbuild into the Okanagan\ncountry and the Similkameen.\nYes, it is the V. V. & E., but\nmost of the line will be on this\nside bf the boundary.\nWe will havo to make somo\nlarge improvements also on the\nSpokane Falls & Northern.\nWe are to put down heavier\nSteele and improve the grades.\nImprovements will be made as\nfast as the business will warrant.\nThe railroad magnate was in\nthe best of humor and a pparen t-\nly feeling fine as a fiddle. His\nwalk was springy, aud he paced\nback and forth on tho platform\nat a pace whicli was decidedly\nrapid, In rinswer to a remark\nabout his apparent good health,\nMr. Hill retorted, laughingly:\n\"Yes lam feeling fine.\"\n\"I am going on to the coast\nto inspect the progress of improvements there. I shall re\nturn Monday and may make a\nstop here for a short time.\nFrom here I am going up into\nthe Crow's Nest country before\nreturning home.\"\nGood Ore around Greenwood.\nNew finds continue to be\nbe made within a mile of Greenwood of gold-quartz leads carrying values that promise to\nmake the opening of them up\nprofitable. Following the finding of telluride ore in tho Lancashire fraction some weeks\nago by the E. P. U. Mines company, similiar ore was last week\nmet with in a 30 foot prospect\nshaft on the Dynamo, owned by\nPortmau Bros., of the Elkhorn\nbrewery. On the Golfincli, too,\nthis ore has been found and'\nthere are indications of it iu a\nquartz lead lately uncovered on\nthe Barbara. Farther away\nabout two miles from the town,\ntwo quartz leads are being prospected on the Dandy, assay returns giving higher values in\ngold and silver than are usually\nobtained from surface rock.\nThe Mother Lode mine is easily keeping ahead of tho ore requirements of two furnaces at\nthe Greenwood smelter. Last\nSaturday's shipments aggregated about 050 tons. Nearly\nall the storage bins at the\nsmelter are filled with ore.\nMIDWAY\nVICTORIA DAY\nAY 25\n*.*e vjlrxle ,1. ..le xle ale .1. xle ,'e *}* tie op\nCEL\nMON\n-INCLUDING-\nHorse Races\nB\nAthletie Sports,\ni!i^ii!4ifti!*V/^!*^Iii5!C-Ii^K^I'ii!4\n*\\ 5y\u00C2\u00BB *f\\ k*n 5J:; >I*W*'!wI* /-wj^ t'l'C *^v\n/iV *i> H\ sfj* #j> 4i\ \u00C2\u00AB\"iV *fL\ #4*\nOVER\n1500.00\nJ.

MAY 23, IMS.\nREPORT OF DELEGATES TO\nOTTAWA.\nIn this report it is stated that\nthe British Columbia government, has constructed 600 miles\nofroadnta cost of $12,000,000,\nand 5000 miles of trails at a cost\nof $1,000,000. \"Few of these\nroads can be considered as finished roads. They are, as a rule,\nnine or ten feet wide, simply\ngraded roughly, and constantly\nbeing repaired and improved,\nThere are also numerous bridges and culverts to be construct\ned which are very expensive indeed.\" This makes tho average\ncost per inile for roads throughout the province $2,000. In\nEast Yale the cost of some\nroads under construction, according to the report, is $1,700 per\nmile. $12,000,000 is a large sum\nof money for even the public,\nworks department, the great\nspending department. These\nfigures were prepared by the\ngovernment engineers and aro.\nit is stated, well within thc\nmark. The British Columbia\ngovernment is troubled with deficits, and though large loans\nare made from time to time, is\nnot able, to furnish public works\nwhen and where they are needed. This is a serious state of\nai Fairs, and it might be well for\nthe government to devise some\nmore economical system in the\nconstruction of public works, ii'\nthat be possible. Perfection, of\ncourse, is not expected and cannot be attained: but the people have a right to expect from\nthoir representatives and officials a reasonable degree of foresight and prudence, such as the\naverage person uses in the con\nduct of his private affairs. We\naro not, of course, familiar with\nthe cost of public works\nthroughout the province, but\nknow something about the cost\nin East Yale, and judging from\nthe figures contained iu the public accounts, they are about the\nsame, on an average, here as\nelsewhere, aud we have a well-\ngrounded suspicion that, under\na better system, several-millions\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 of dollars could be deducted\nfrom $12,000,000, in fact, we believe it could be divided by two.\nP.

GEO. A. COX, Pres.\nRESr, $2,500,000,\nB. E. WALKER, Gen. Hgt.\nIt is estimated that there are\nahout 102 million acres of land\nin British Colunihia. This land,\nas everyone knows, is good, had\nand indifferent in quality.\nS une of it is very valuable, and\nagreattle.il of it is valueless,\nIn the land Act it is classified\ninto two kinds of agricultural\nlands and mountain or range\nlands, and the price to purchasers from the governnient is from\nono to live dollars, according to\nquality, Along the line of the\nOoiumbia & Western railroad\nthe greater part of the lands of\nany value have been purchased\nor pre-empted. It appears that\naccording to the terms of the\nrailroad act of 1800, the C, P. 11.\nwere entitled to about f)00,000\nacres of land contiguous to the\nrailroad.\nTherimior portion of these\nlands it' sol scted according to\nthe term.*-. 1/f the railroad act of\n1800, would he valuable only\nfor their scenic beauty.\nThe G. P. |{. officials are well\naware of the value of tliis kind\nof land to thoir compuny, but\nwero quite willing that it\nbelong to the people of Ilritish\nColumbia, The C. P. R. could\nnot be blamed for, desiring to\nobtain (100,000 acres of valuable\ncoal and oil lands for 000,000\nacres moreor less of scenery.\nIt is strange, however, that ox-\npromior Dunsmuir who has lived long enough in British Columbia, u.kI .fit.1 owns enough land\nto know something of the value\nof different kinds of laud, should\nfor a moment be so deceived, as\nto believe this little story about\nthe saving to the province of\n300,000 acres. In the flrst place\ntho province is not short\nof land, and in the second\nplace, when the C. P. R. are\nwilling to accept 600,000 acres\ninstead of 900,000 acres, one\nwould think that it would be\nsuggested to the most unsophisticated mind that there might\nbe a great difference in the\nquality of the land. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nIt is stange also if the C. P. R.\nwere getting the worst of the\ndeal, that the government\nwanted to rub it into them by\nmaking them agree to extend\ntho road from Midway to\nSpence's bridge. Possibly Sir\nThomas Shaughnessy will be\nable to throw som'e light on\nthis subject.\nIfotloe.\nMoonlight Minkkai, Claim.\nSituate In the Kettle Mining Division or\nYale District.

On\nthe farm there are the kicking\ncow and our friend, the mule,\nwhile in the town there is the\nold mossback who wants all the\nprivileges of the municipal living without paying for them\nand blocks so far as he can every municipal improvement.\nThen there is the political\nkicker that says the government has gone to the bowwows,\nand will lose all their votes in\nthe district because a representative didn't do us he wanted\nthein to.\nThere is also the religious\nkicker, who thiiiks.aU business\nshould be run on the Zion City\nprinciple, give everything to\nthe churches and pay your own\nexpeiiJiJj.i.and govern the people by the rule laid down by the\ni'hai'iuitie.\nThen there is tho business\nkicker, that thinks business\nis overdone because some ono\ngoes into the same lino of business ho does and gets up-to-\ndate and advertises and secures\nall the trade. , Of course he kicks\nbecause ho doesn't think the\n(own or people amount to a\ndarning needl'i.\nThou there is tho bum kicker,\nthat stands, or rather sits, on\nthe dry goods boxes, borrows a\nchew of tobacco and a jack\nknife, and whittles and kicks\nbecause punlilers and toughs\nhave to obey tho law anil respect other pcwple besides themselves. They kick at the ministers for trying to improve the\nmorals of the town and koop\nsome af tho innocent out of\ntheir vile clutches. Thoy kick\nat the authorities for enforcing\ntho few. They kick if you\nwant thorn to work and then\nwjn't trtifit them, and they'll\nkick when they find their fu\nture home is not a Dakot,\nblizzard and the country inters\ntheir worthless carcases in the\npotter's field.\nThere is only one question\nthat bothers us, and that is why\nthe Almighty didn't make a\nkicker and a centipede on the\nsame plan; they are both of\nthe same value.\nThe cow may be sold for beef\nand tho mule traded for a shotgun, but nothing but a funeral\nwill got rid of the town kicker.\nBHaMtoMa*:\u00C2\u00AB\u00C2\u00AB\u00C2\u00BB*3a\u00C2\u00BBl.?Ka|\n*************** **********0*********OO**************.\nNOTICE.\nTAKK NOTICK tlmt 60 Aay* from the date\nhereof I Intend to apply to the Chief Commissioner of kinds ntnl Works for permission\nlo purchase' TS) acres of land In Township 811,\nOsoyoos District, beginning at a post on tho\nnorth boundary o(C.
