After howling for. sev- 'tail, of that gar- THE Boundary Creek Times alleges that the Colonist prints columns of abuse of its political opponents. L,et The Times prove what it says by the quotation of a single sentence, or stand convicted before the public as a base slanderer.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDVictoria Colonist. vr4 v^< The Boundary Creek Times would will ingly accept the challenge .contained in the above paragraph were it not prevented so doing by the ethics which should govern all controversies in journalism or otherwise. A few weeks ago the Colonist challenged the provincial press to make specific charges against the government. It stood ready to act as champion for the Turner administration against all comers, eral weeks for some one to tread on the merit which had been provided for it by the Coal Kings of Vancouver island, the New Westminster Columbian accepted the challenge and made a specific charge against the government. The Colonist refuses to fight. How then can it ask a newspaper to accept another challenge ? When it answers the Columbian we are quite willing to accommodate it. ' Until then the Colonist \" stands convicted before the public \" as a braggart and a bully. < In the same issue of the Colonist appears a paragraph that \"it may perhaps be well to say once and for all that under no circumstances whatever will the editor of the Colonist discuss his private affairs in this paper.\" This same editor recently made a brutal personal attack on the editor of the Victoria Times with a view of damaging his chances for a position for which he is endorsed by nearly every other paper in the province. We do not believe in a \"dog eat dog\" policy among newspaper men, but this can be best prevented by resenting such attacks as that recently made by the Colonist on a gentleman who is held in the highest respect by every other member of the profession. The editor of the Colonist ought to know better. If his knowledge of his own family history can be relied upon his ancestors have been making history. They have been permanent citizens of the grand and glorious American republic it is true, but no one would ever think so after reading the anti-American editorials in the Colonist. According to the editor, it is equally true that he first saw light on Canadian soil but afterwards he became a citizen of the country whose people he now assails. Before shaking American dust from his feet the Colonist editor occupied a similar position on that enterprising paper, the Seattle Times. In the issue of April 20, 1896, appears the following : A CARD. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. During the five years that I have been engaged in newspaper work in this state, I have frequently been made the subject of attacks on the ground of my nationality. I have never thought them wortlry of attention, but when the governor of a commonwealth deems it a sufficient answer to charges of bad faith against him made by well known citizens, I am perhaps called upon once and for all to make a personal statement. An expurgated report of the governor's remarks in regard to myself made at the mass meeting on Saturday night, was printed in the Post-Intellig-encer on Sunday and was as follows : \" Notwithstanding the charges published by an afternoon paper in this city edited by an expatriated Frenchman, who is more intensely English than the English themselves, and who is not a citizen of the United States, and does not wish to become one, I am with ybu in \"this- issue.\" I was born in the province of New Brunswick, Canada, where my father's family have resided for four generations, the first of the name to settle there being Simeon I/ugrin of Romaiu Motiere, Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, his wife being Marguerite de Betrarii of Belgium. My mother's brother was. John Stevens of Massachusetts, a member of a New England family that has given 'many, distinguished men to the United States and among them one of the governors of the territor3r of Washington. My mother's mother was descended from the Ackermans of Pennsylvania and the Eawrences of New York, :- two families which are not unknown in American history. I came to this state five years ago, this month,, to visit ray wife's father and her relatives, who, to the number of several score reside in this state, where they have large property interests and are well known. After an extended visit, I decided to remain permanently here, and believing it to be the duty of every man who enjoys the protection of the laws of a country to accept the responsibilities of citizenship, as soon as I had reached this conclusion I filed my intentions of becoming an American citizen in the superior court of Eewis county, .where I was then visiting and subsequently applied to Judge Robinson of Thurston county for admission to the bar and was duly admitted, a full record whereof will appear by reference to the records and files of Thurston county. Q If these statements convict Governor McGraw of falsehood and slander it is not my fault. I apologize to the readers of the Times for making my personal affairs the subject of reference in the columns of this paper. It has not occurred before and under no amount of provocation will it appear again. Chas. H. L/UGrin, Editor of the Seattle Times. One would almost suppose that the possessor of such distinguished ancestors would be above dealing in personal abuse and calling his contemporaries base slanderers. aY&.' j?fc iV\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD- THE CITY COUNCIL. Last Monday evening's regular meeting of the council was a harmonious but protracted one. L/icenses was again the subject and weighty arguments were used in favor and against the imposition of heavy licenses. His Worship, Mayor Wood, presided and all the aldermen were present. A. Campbell Reddie, deputy provincial secretary acknowledged the receipt of a communication from the council requesting a proportionate rebate of taxes for the year. The deputy provincial secretary informed the council that the matter had been referred to the treasury department. The council filed the communication. A letter from the manager of the Bank of Montreal at Vernon was also read. He congratulated the ma3ror and the aldermen and stated that the bank had great faith in the future of Boundary Creek and Greenwood in particular and he was sure that there would be no difficulty in borrowing a reasonable amount of money on the credit of the city. The question of the city taking over and equipping the present waterworks was again brought up but after a brief discussion the council decided not to deal with the matter, because before a by-law could be passed and the money borrowed it would be too late to do anything this year. The clerk was instructed however to write to the city clerks of cities recently incorporated with a view to securing all possible information about floating debentures. nmwiMu.Hwmum'wwT \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmwwM\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwuM^wKug^^ ii^..1;.im^'4 tT&TSZZ&ESTrVS&ZS^ THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. ^in-u'-'i\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDif- u-jj'. -i.jiii.j^iwm^\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDii>.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwi-!iiJi|J\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa.ju\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD in\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDi-v4\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDii'j.ffliLu.aiujt ra\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDSB iimu.ai!miiMuui nmw \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDija^itiM^..jto.i\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD^im>i^\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDM\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD^uM\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDiut\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDBtiHii\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDg.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD^ J^BJU...js\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDaaBin Mr. C. i5\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD. Shaw, C. B., was present by invitation and addressed the council regarding street levels. He said that he had already made a profile of Copper, Government and Silver streets which could be used for street leveling. He thought the better way would be for the committee to go over the streets with him in the morning. This was agreed upon and on Tuesday morning Mr. Shaw and the committee examined the different streets. The council then went into committee to consider the license question. The licenses for hawkers and peddlers were reconsidered and Alderman Phelan .moved that peddlers on foot be charged $25 for six months or $5 a -week. ..\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.., '\"'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'''\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.

The Board of Works and Mr. ,C. J). Shaw, C. E}., had a rather knotty question to decide in the matter of erivintr the proper street levels on Government and Copper streets. In consequence of there heretofore having been no guide as to the level of the streets, buildings were.erected'in many instances either- top high or too low. How to make a good street with the least inconvenience to the owners of the building was no easy matter to decide. Finally Mr. Shaw succeeded, in giving- levels that appeared'to satisfy the majority and the members of the Board of Works were consequents happy. Bring in the Ore. Mr. Galloway has already secured some excellent specimens of Boundary Creek ore but the mine owners and prospectors should take a still g-reater interest in the matter. Since an exhibit is to be sent from Greenwood it should be the very best that the district can produce. It were infinitely better that no exhibit should be made at the Spokane Fair than have there something that does not do justice to the extraordinar3r mineral resources of Boundary Creek. % Government Street, Greenwood.; A Practical Tinsmith and Plumber connected with the Business.

Rev. Mr. Eeith believes that a clerk in holy orders can enjoy a joke like an ordinary nian. He tries to take a sunny view of life and to enable him to do this he keeps a horse that would excite the risibilities of an old-time, old fashioned sanctimonious Presbyterian minister. The horse is all rig-ht as a means of locomotion but he is constructed on such wonderful plans that a Colville Indian must have been the architect. Minus a tail, having- a double pair of ears and numerous large brands, he is a most peculiar piece of horseflesh. The parson can ride him all rig-ht but a stranger has to be careful. On account of the caudal extremity being missing, the centre of gravity in this horse is where it ought not to be. Consequently unless a stranger is careful he is apt to upset the horse's equilibrium and find himself once more on terra firma. Mr. L,eith g-ave the horse to Mr. Garland, the owner of Anaconda, last week and both went up to look at some mining-properties in Kim- berly camp. On the way up the parson rode behind and when an opportunity presented itself he g-ave the tailless charger a vicious prod. The result was that Mr. Garland expressed surprise at the amount of spirit in the pony. On the return trip^the real estate man mildly hinted to the parson that the latter had better go ahead. The parson took the hint and putting- spurs to his horse readied Greenwood in g-ood time. Mr. Garland did not fare so well. He dismounted to lower some bars at Wallace's ranch and then this wonderful animal undertook to walk home without carrying any weight. Mr. Garland could get within a few feet of him when he would start out on a tantalizing- trot. This was kept up until the addition was reached. Then the horse considered it would be undignified to allow a prominent citizen of Anaconda to walk into Greenwood and allowed himself to be caught. Mr. Garland being human was not a little provoked, but being a Presbyterian was prevented from using strong language. He again got into the saddle but forgot that his charg-er was lacking at an essential point. The result was obvious. The forward end of the animal took a downward movement and the real estate man took a flying leap into the soft earth of the addition. Mr. Eeith intends leaving for the east in a few weeks but before he goes he will secure several photos of his four footed curiosity and exhibit them to the college boys as a true likeness of a wonderful animal that is indig-enous to Boundary Creek district. The Mining Outlook. The outlook for Boundary Creek district is most encouraging. Without taking into consideration the fact that there are two railway survey parties in the field, owners of mining- property have wisely arrived at the conclusion that instead of waiting for a railway, the trade will force railway companies to build into the district. Permanent mining machinery is coming- into the district ; larg-e contracts for work are being awarded and many claims are being crown granted. Every one appears to have renewed confidence, money is being- invested more freely both in purchasing and developing properties. When a railway does come, it will find more business than it can handle. Real Estate Active. During- the past few weeks there was considerable demand for real estate in Greenwood and several lots changed hands at g-ood figures. Mr. Geo. R. Naden, manager for Bealey & Co., bought five lots at different times during the week and re-sold them at an advance. Several inquiries have also been made reg-arding-; Greenwood real estate. , Attempted Robbery. Word comes from Nelson, Wash., that an attempt was made on Tuesday last to hold up J. Privitt on Xa .Fleur Mountain near Nelson. Mr. Privitt is president of the Big Four Mining & Milling Co., which owns the Big Four mine on Ea. Fleur Mountain. While on his way from Nelson to the mine he was held up by an unmasked highwayman some four miles from the town. Mr., Privitt and the highwayman exchanged shots, the former having a 44- cal. revolver and the latter a Winchester rifle. A bullet went through Privitt's hat and he is supposed to have hit the robber twice. The latter started through the woods and Mr. Privitt afterwards heard a shot and it is supposed that the robber shot himself to end his sufferings. About 20 men are out trying to locate the robber or his body.

There are places in Greenwood which are in anything but a good sanitary condition. Some people appear to have become imbued with the idea that we are so situated that the laws of sanitation can be disregarded with impunity. A few summonses from the constable would at least convince them that there are others who do not share those views and are determined that the health of the city shall not be endangered by the carelessness or indifference of the few. Those interested in the welfare of the city should see that it is kept clean and healthy. If kept in such a condition the chances for an epidemic are very remote..

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1897. ' A-MODERN EVICTON. There was considerable excitement at the Mother I^ode in Deadwood camp last week and as a result Mr. Fred Keffer, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD manager of the Boundary Mines Co., and Mr. A. H. I^awder, Provincial Police Officer, appeared before Mr. J. Hamill, J. P., to answer to a charg-e of housebreaking- and theft. There was no one present to prosecute, no evidence for the prosecution and consequently the charge was at once dis- 1 missed. The circumstances leading up to such an unusual proceeding are briefij^ as follows : When the Mother Ivode mine was surve3;'ed it was found that the cabins erected by Mr. Keffer for the company were outside the boundary lines. Mr. Martin \"Walsh who was foreman at the Mother lyode for several months, located a fraction and had it duly recorded. A short time ago Mr. Keff'er gave a contract, for work to McMillan & Co., and they wished to have the use of the cabins. Mr. Walsh was living- in one of them and he refused to allow an}r one to use them stating that the3r were on his property and he would prosecute trespassers. Mr. Keffer was informed of the matter arid he at once consulted Chief Constable McMynn. That gentleman instructed Officer I^awder to proceed to Deadwood camp and see that the peace was kept while Mr. Keffer moved the cabins to the Mother Ivode ground. Mr. Keffer proceeded to carry out this work and with the assistance of seven or eight men succeeded in getting the cabins to the Mother lyode. Previous to this he sent a note to Mr. Walsh to come and get his household g-oocls as the cabins would be removed. Mr. Walsh refused to accept the note and then a messeng-er was sent to him to give him the information verbally, \" The Irish have stood it for years and I guess I can,\" was the reply. Mr. Walsh's g-oods were left on the ground. A pass book was found underneath the pillow with a ten dollar bill inclosed. Mr. Keffer took charge of this, to be handed to Mr. Welsh. \"When the latter came for his goods, he stated that $318 secreted in a stocking was missiny. He consulted Mr. Leamy, barrister, i and summonses were issued charging Mr. L-awder and Mr. Keffer with housebreaking- and stealing-. Afterwards Mr. Walsh went to Mr. Hamill to withdraw the charge but this could not be done in a criminal case. When the case was called on Monday, Mr. Jweam3r stated that he had not seen Mr. Walsh since Saturday, and consequently having no instructions he would withdraw from the case altogether. A. H. Iyawder was the only witness. He said that on Sunday Mr. Walsh came to him and said that he (Walsh) was very sorry for what happened. He knew Mr. l-awder was only there as a matter of duty and he intended to withdraw the charge against all parties. Mr. Hamill said that under the circumstances there was nothing for him to do but dismiss the case, Mr. Walsh to pay all costs. THE RAILWAY SURVEY. All doubt as to the authority of the report that Heinze's surve3,'ors are in the field was set at rest by the arrival of a survey party of 18 men in charge of Mr. J. G-. Sullivan, P. I,. S. The party arrived on Sunday last and remained at the Palace hotel, Anacon-0 da, until Monday evening when they left for the summit near Camp McKinney.-', ... -,\" ;''\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'--. .,\". \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .' Mr. Sullivan was seen by a Times representative and he was quite willing to give any information regarding the work. He said that his party would begin at the summit near Camp McKinney and work both ways so as to finish on the high altitude before snow falls. Their work will include the putting of survey stakes, along the route, making a record of the necessary curves, securing all the field notes for a plan of the railway and all data necessary to the beginning of active construction. The other party which, Mr. Sullivan stated, is now in charg-e of Surveyor Q. R. Pair, is now working from the summit on the other side of Christina Lake. The survey will be ^ completed within three months and if the two parties cannot complete the work in that time another party will be sent in. Mr. Sullivan was asked when active railway construction would begin and he replied that he could not speak au- thbritively on the matter, but the survey would cost considerable money arid it therefore showed a bonafide intent to begin construction at an early date. As far as he knew the route would be as already mapped out and as far as Boundary Creek district is concerned would run along Boundary Creek to Bholt, to Pass creek and down the North Fork. The approximate length of the road from Penticton to Trail is 200 miles. Mr. Sullivan expects to complete the survey to Greenwood in about 60 days. H. HALLETT, NOTARY PUBLIC. GREENWOOD, JB.O.

A Trail correspondent sends out the following- regarding the survey of the line from Trail to Penticton : The survey work on the road from Trail to Penticton is being- pushed as rapidly as possible, and it is now expected to have all maps complete before winter sets in, so that the work of construction can beg-in in the spring-. The distance to Penticton is about 200 miles and the completion of this road will be a matter of great interest to the entire district. Mr. Heinze, of the Columbia & Western, sent out engineers on the survey some time ago, and they succeeded in finding- a much easier pass throug-h the mountains than any hitherto discovered in., that section. . The pass they found requires a. climb of about 4,000 feet, whereas the lowest that had been found up to that time was something- over 7,000 feet. This pass was named Heinze pass, in honor of the man for whom the work was done. The. whole country is very hilly and in many places almost entirely unexplored. The most difficult portion of the survey will probably be along- the streams which flow into lower Arrow lake and McRae creek, forming- a divide about 30 miles in length. Heinze pass is about 13 miles long-, and when the grade throug-h there is completed the most difficult part of the work will be over. From this pass the road will run down Christina lake to Cascade City, across Christina creek and along the north bank of Kettle river. From there it will pass throug-h a comparatively level country until Penticton is reached. There are two survejdng parties of 18 or 20 men each on the ground and the work of surveying- will commence from the summit, so that the heavy snows there may be avoided. From there they will proceed to Dog- creek and thence to Robson, 14 miles, thus .making- a direct line from Trail to Penticton. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD An engineer went over the ground early last spring- and took'the altitudes of different points. They will give a fairly g-ood idea of the nature of the country from Grand Forks to Camp McKinney. His fig-ures follow : Grand Forks.. 1,650 feet. Fisherman creek..... 1,900 \" Brown's creek 2,200 \" Greenwood Citv 2,450 \" Boundary Falls 2,250 \" Rock Creek 1,800 \" Camp McKiunev 4.500 \" McBride's ranch ..3,200 \" Water Records. Next Saturday, September 25, Mr. C. A. R.Iyambry, Gold Commissioner, and Mr. L/eonard Norris, Government Atrent will be at the Courthouse, Grand Forks, for the purpose of hearing- and adjudicating- upon the applications for water records which have been made to them. It is understood that there are several applications for water records, including one from the \" Greenwood City Waterworks Company\" for the use of the waters of Boundarv Falls. A Daily Mail Service. The Midway Advance states : \" We wish to heartily endorse the efforts being- made by the people of Grand Forks and Greenwood to have an official daily mail service established between those points. This has long- been a necessit3r and should have been established at least a 3rear ag-o, and it is neither rig-ht nor proper that private citizens should have to pay for the same. In our opinion the people of this district are now justly entitled to a daily service between Grand Forks and Penticton. The growth and importance of this section fully- warrant it and the matter should be brought to the notice of Mr. Hewitt Bostock by representative people from Camp McKinney eastwards, without any further delay.\" The Times heartily agrees with, the Advance that the district lying- between Penticton and Grand Forks is of sufficient importance to demand a daily service. It appears a difficult matter to convince the officials however. The citizens of Greenwood have privately subscribed sufficient money to carry a daily mail both Ways between Greenwood and Grand Forks but the postmaster at Grand Forks refuses to .handle the extra mail until he receives instructions from Ottawa.

P., is making- a tour throug-h, I}ast Kootenay. In all probability he will visit Boundary Creek this fall. Georg-e Jefferson and 10. B. Jacobs two mining- nien of Oakesdale passed throug-h Greenwood yesterday on their way to Camp McKinney. An acre of ground in the Greenwood cemetery has been deeded to the trustees of the Oddfellows' lodge by Mr. Robt. Wood, for use as a burial ground. The Greenwood base ball club gave a ball in Nelson & Tynan's hall last evening. There was a large attendance and all spent a pleasant evening. There are still several British subjects resident in the district who are not on the provincial voters'list. They should forward their applications at once. A. Irwin, of Nicola, has been appointed Indian Agent, to succeed J. B. L/eignton who resigned to accept the position of superintendent of the new B.C. Express Company. Grand Forks is excited over a breach of promise suit in which prominent people are the principals. In the absence of particulars the names are withheld until next, week. Mrs. C. Scott Galloway and family left on Wednesday for Spokane where they will remain until after the Fruit Fair. Mr. Gallowa3r will join them a few days before the Fair opens. Provincial Police Officers Ivawder and Gardom took a trip through the mining camps this week in search of two toughs who are wanted on the other side. They found no clue to the men. Rendell & Co. have received the greater portion of their stock of liquors and cigars and are now in a position to sell by wholsale. They are this week advertising pure apple cider and pure cider vineg-ar. Mr. Fred Shonquist left on Saturday for Vernon. Upon his return he and Mrs. Shonquist will leave for Butte where they will spend the winter. Mr. Shonquist sa}rs he will go to the Klon- cWke in the spring. The Rossland Miner of recent date states that \" A. H. Woodhouse, the mining expert, over-exerted himself during his recent visit to Boundary Creek district, and the result is that he is under a physician's care at the Allan House.\" Fred. Carpenter, of Wateryille, was the first to take out a hawker's license to sell produce in the City of Greenwood. Mr. Carpenter has many good customers in the city and made no complaint regarding the payment of the license. You can get a nice clean bed at the Windsor. * City Debentures. Now that the city fathers are seriously considering the question of floating a loan it will be interesting to learn how well other newly incorporated cities succeeded in this respect. The city of Nelson debentures were for five per cent, and they were sold to the British Columbia Corporation, T/td., for 98, or for $50,000 worth of debentures the city of Nelson secured in cash $49,000. Rossland debentures were issued at 6 per cent, and they were sold in Toronto at par, the amount realized in cash being $49,900. Nelson made the better bargain as Rossland only got $900 more in cash and the difference in interest between five and six per cent, will amount to nearly $10,000.
