W. K. Willi uns was Interviewed last week by the Bpokesuinu'Review,\nand his sentiments coincide with thu.su\nexpressed by everyone familiar with the\nconditions iii this district.\nW. R; Williams, manager of shipments\nof ore for the North Star mine iu Kast\nKootenay, and famous as the tallest man\nin British Columbia, says the Spokes*\nman-Review, is lu the city. The North\nStar has finished its ore shipments fur\nthe season, and Mr. Williams is spending a few dnys wilh friends in Spokane\nbefore retiring for the winter to the vicinity of the biggest mine iu Kast Koolcnay. Like nil other North Star officials\nMr. Williams is reticent about the property, although admitting that recent\ndevelopments have been abundantly satisfactory to the owners. When questioned about the recent report that the North\nStar has encountered an entirely new\nlead of galena averaging 240 ounces of\nsilver and carrying about eight feet of\nthat grade of ore, he admitted that the\njreport was correct.\n\"The Canadian Pacific will build a\nbranch line to the foot of tlie North Star\nhill,'1 said Mr. Williams \"This spur\nwill leave the tun-in line at Cranbrook,\nand will be about 15 miles long. A\ntramway will be necessary to take the\nore from the mine down to the tracks.\nWhen the line is built, which will he at\nno distant day, Cranbrook, instead of\nFort Steele, will become North Star\nheadquarters.\n\"The rails will be laid into Cranbrook\nwithin a week or ten days at the farthest.\nThat place is destined to become the distributing point for the richest mines in\nthat part of the country. All the Cana-\n-1 dian Pacific railway interests are centered there, and as au indication of the future of the place I need only say that the\nBank of Montreal nnd the Canadian\n' Bank of Commerce are already iu the\ntowtn\" Those poweiful institutions do\nnot establish their branches without at\nleast positive assurance that business\nwill come.

It is the intention to get there\nthis fall, but the contractors may not\nsucceed as there is a|grent deal of rock\nwork to be done and one Ion-- tunnel to\nbe run.\"\n\"Where will lhe smelting center of\nKast Kootenay be?\"\n\"I haven't positive information on the\nsubject, but 1 think il will be at Cranbrook, All the conditions are favorable\nfor building the Smelter there.

Col. James Baker returned\nfiom Victoria last Monday evening having made tbe entire trip by rail by the\nway of Calgary and Macleod. To one\nwho foe years has beeu compelled to\ntravel many miles overland to reach his\nhome, this trip was one that gave the\nColonel no small degree of satisfaction.\nYears ago, when he had given the country intelligent study aud became convinced that the prairie ou which Cranbrook is now located, was the railway\nkey to the problem of building a line\nacross these mountains, he commenced\nthe work of securing the transportation\nfacilities lhat weie to give the riches of\nthis magnificent valley to the world.\nThose who have lived in Kast Kootenay\nknow something of the labor performed\nby the Colonel in that way. Disappointments after disappointments were\nmet with, hut year after year the fight\nwas kept up, and at last success crowned\nhis efforts, and eyeryone who now lives\nin South Kast Kootenay will be able to\nenjoy with Colonel Baker the fruits of\nhis victory. Oue can easily imagine\nthe feeling experienced by the Colonel\nwhen' the train left the wooded belt\nnortheast of town and disclosed to Lis\nview a wonderful scene of activity, where\na few short weeks ago there was naught\nbut open prairie. For many summers\nand many winters, in going back nnd\nforth between his home here and Victoria, he has traveled miles and miles\nthrough burning stins or biting winds, to\nreach the railroad, but this time he came\nwithin a few minutes' walk of his own\ndoorstep by rail, aud can now sit on his\nverandah and watch an army of men engaged in the building of a great city.\nThe Colonel was feeling well when\nseen by a representative of THK Hbrai.d\nand expressed his satisfaction over the\nfact that he was ablo to take a short rest\nat his home.\n\"What is new in political circles?\"\n\"There is very little new,\" said the\nColonel. \"Semlin has formed his cabinet and for the present the Opposition is\nin full charge of the government.\"\n\"Will the legislature be colled?\"\n\"I hardly think so, judging from the\nstatement made to me by Mr. Joseph\nMartin just before I left Victoria. You\nsee it is a tie now, and they would not\nrisk a vote. They will go to the country again and is is quite probable that a\ngeneral election will be called early in\nOctober.'*\nWhat will be the issue iu event of\nanother election?\"\nThe next contest will without a doubt\nbe on direct party lines, and I am satisfied lhat the C011se1vali.es wilt win.\"\n'Will you be a candidate again?''\n'No. I am through with politics, and\nam sick and disgusted with the events of\nthe past few weeks.
