The city cottncil. nothing special ot interest on Monday nirht��� Report expected retramway to Phoenix from Engineer Snaw-$I50 voted for an exhibit of Bonndary ore at Spokane. The Council met as usual on Monday night. There was nothing to occupy the attention of the aldermen at great length, and they adjourned earlier than has been their wont. Present���The Mayor, Aldermen Sutherland, Wood, Galloway, Beath. Chief Henton called attention. to the fact that there were no alleyways in blocks 7, and 12, and in case of fire would be greatly handicapped. It was referred to the City Solicitor. A number of petitioners asked for consideration of the condition, of Silver street, and repairs in connection therewith. .In the matter of the bill of the Kootenay Standard for 25 copies of the annual at $1.00 apiece, on motion of Aid. Sutherland and Wood, it was decided not to take them, and to so inform the manager. On motion of Aid. Galloway and Wood, the clerk was instructed to notify L. S. M. Barrett, agent for F. S. Barnard, that the council could not see its way clear to make any rebate on his taxes, as applied for. By-law No- 29, amending the waterworks by-law, providing for the payment of rates in advance, received its third reading. Aid. Sutherland reported that the plans of Mr. Robinson for the city building had been accepted, and that as soon as the city engineer had given the grade excavation would be commenced. The plans were examined. Aid. Galloway reported on behalf of the cemetery committee. The Mayor urged expedition, . Aid..Galloway, with reference to the tramway to Phoenix, said that the committee had seen Mr. Shaw, who had agreed to make a preliminary survey, and a transit survey, subsequently. He was now very busy on the survey, and the report would probably be submitted this week. Dr. Jakes asked to have a rebate on their property on which the hospital was located, including the vacant lots. It would all be used for hospital purposes. A motion to exempt the property from taxation was passed. The Mayor appointed a committee, consisting of Aid. Galloway, Wood, and Sutherland, to interview the scavenger about the complaints made. They were asked to hand in their report at next meeting, with a view, to placing the matter on a better basis. A deputation from the Board of Trade, consisting of Messrs. Thos. Miller, W. M. Law, and James Kerr, appeared to ask the council for a sum to assist in sending .an exhibit of ore to the Spokane Exposition. On motion of Aid. Sutherland and Wood, $150 was donated for the purpose. Mr. Miller proposed to obtain the private subscriptions of the aldermen as well, but the Mayor informed him that the amount had been voted on the understanding that real estate men would put up the rest of the money required- The business men of the place had so many calls on them that they were tired putting up. It was a very great tax on them. This brought Aid. Galloway to his feet. As one of the real estate men referred to he proposed to suit himself as to how much he gave. The real estate men had given their share, and more than their share, to everything that came along, and had to pay their biggest share of the taxation as well. The Mayor remarked that it was nothing to him whether the amount was raised or not. They could suit themselves. Discussion then turned on the subject of street grades, and it looked for a short time as though there would be an "argument." Happily, however, after the Mayor, who had an ominous gleam in his eye, and Aid. Galloway had expressed themselves somewhat freely, the subject was dropped. The Mayor brought the matter up concerning the stone wall on the Greenwood street side of the Rendell block, which was on the street. He wanted instructions in regard to it. For a sidewalk to grade it was necessary that a foot of the wall should be taken off, and the sidewalk could be laid on top of it. Aid. Galloway remarked that the street committee had settled weightier matters without reference to the Council, and he saw no reason why tbey could not settle this. ���'What questions, Aid. Galloway?", asked the Mayor. "Oh, the taking down a foot or so off the streets", was the reply. " The Mayor assumed an attitude of defence, and said he had heard a great deal about the matter of grades, and he wanted to tell them that he had no apologies to make. The excavation was according to the profiles of the City Engineer Shaw, which had not been changed or altered one iota. Had the council of last year done its duty there would have been no such trouble this year. The council this year had simply acted as a business man would have done. There were a lot of calamity howlers in the town that were a disgrace to any city. He was willing to leave the matter to the people to judge, aud when the proper time came was prepared to lay it fully before them. The present city engineer had gone by the grade given him, and would not alter it for any one. The matter then dropped, and the council adjourned. INTERIOR TOPICS. Three hundred men are wanted to work on the Kaslo & Lardea Duncan railway. Nick Tregear, superintendent of the Le Roi mine has resigned, and it is understood that he will go into mining on his own account. His successor is W. B. Wilson, late superintendent of the Elkton Consolidated and El Paso, Cripple Creek. The Josie Copper Co., Grand Forks, with a capital of $100,000, has been incorporated. P. R. Quinlivan who, while drunk, had a duel with the Chief of Police of Grand Forks, on the 30th ult., using a revolver, has been committed for trial before Judge Spinks on the 22nd inst. The recent news of the discovery of rich gold-copper ledges on the east fork of the Kettle river has been confirmed. The new saw mill of E. Spragget, on the main Kettle river, half a mile from Grand Forks, began operations last week. It will have a capacity of 30,000 feet a day. The Kitty W. Gold Minim: Co., Ltd., non-personal liability,, has just been incorporated with a capital of $100,000, divided into 1,000,000 shares of ten cents each. The properties to be acquired, the Kitty W. and Kitty W. fraction are on Pathfinder mountain.

A contract for driving a tunnel 250 feet to tap the ledge at a depth of 150 feet on the Bonanza in Knight's camp on the north fork of the Kettle river, has just been awarded to Messrs. F. H. Knight and A. H. Dawson. A strike is reported in the Diamond Hitch claim, on the north fork of Kettle river. In sinking a winze at the tunnel face after tunneling on the vein for 30 feet, rich ore was encountered at a depth of about 12 feet from the tunnel floor. Mr. Stonechest reports three assays of $84, $001 and $073, and says there is a streak of six or eight inches which shows values of over $000, while the $84 was an average assay across the foot of the winze. Emery Ruckley, of Spokane, last week covered the distance between Spokane and Grand Forks, one hundred and sixty- five miles, on his bicycle in two days and one-half. He left Saturday on the return trip. Several points of the road were very rough. CAMP McKINNEY. Mrs. Dell and Miss Crozier, of Ke- lowna, who were visiting with Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Keane, returned this week. Mrs. C B. Bash and children, returned on Thursday from Port Towns- end, where they had been visiting for a couple of months. Mr. Bash went out to Penticton to meet them. Geo. B. McAuley, managing director of the Cariboo Consolidated, left camp last week, after a few days' visit and inspection of the company's works here. The starting of the new compressor, and effecting a settlement with J. Moran as to the Okanagan claim were said to be the principal objects of his visit. The work of installing the Waterloo stamp mill is in progress under the direction of C. Ostenberg. Jas. Copland, the owner of the Le Roi claim, continues to find excellent ore in all the new openings which he 1ms made in tracing the ledge. The property iu looking better with every shot, and the ore, which is now almost solid pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite, in nppnr- antly unlimited in extent. The copper values are increasing rapidly with development. Bonnets for Greenwood. The representative of tho Cascade Record, who was in Greenwood last week, writes as follows in his paper: "Greenwood is undoubtedly the most important town in the Boundry creek country, and its citizens have sublime faith in its continued supremacy. The definite location of the Mother Lode smelter close to the town will be of great benefit to the place, and survevs have already begun for the purpose of starting work under Paul Johnson, the superintendent. There is an evidence of solidarity and permanence about Greenwood that is pleasing to the casual visitor. Surrounded as it is by many rich milling camps, with large reduction works at its doors, it cannot fall to hold its own for years to come, and tbe laith of its people in its future seems well grounded." THEGREENW00D MINER. Friday, Sept. 15,1899. A Foot Race. Silver street was enlivened on Saturday afternoon with a crowd, whose object was to see a foot race between W. Ragsdale, of Colville, and P. G. I McLeod, of Greenwood, for $500 a side, fifty yards. I In due time the two started, and made a good race, with McLeod, it was generally thought, the winner; but it was declared a tie, and as McLeod refused to run over again, all bete were drawn. Installing: a Hew Official. On Monday evening, Messrs. W. Gill, Inspector of Inland Revenue, and J. E. Miller, Collector for the Mainland, arrived in Greenwood, accompanied by H, McCutcheon, who succeeds A. K. Stuart in the office of Inland Revenue, and to open an office as local collector of customs. On Tuesday they visited the local breweries, bade the late incumbent an official good bye, installed his successor in office, and left on the afternoon stage for Penticton. Hew City Buildings. The pians prepared by W. Robinson, architect, for the new municipal buildings of Greeawood, have been completed, and were presented to the council on Monday night. The .buildings will be located on the corner of Greenwood and Skylark streets, and will have surface dimensions of 47x60 feet, to cost completed about $4,000. Excavations have already begun, and the work will be performed by day labor. The first floor will be occupied on one side as a fire department, with horses and hose wagons, etc., the arragemen'-.s being thoroughly modern. The other side will be occupied as a police department, with four cells, and offices for the Chief of Police, and the city clerk. On the second floor there will be the sleeping apartments of the firemen, the chief's private apartments, two rooms, and the council chamber. It is proposed to divide the latter and provide a public reading room. In all probability this will be arranged with folding doors, so that the whole space may be used for public meetings, if necessary. A view of the elevation shows it to be as ornate as is consistent with the cost.. There will be hose and bell towers in connection. The Canadian Mining: Institute. On Saturday the secretary of the Canadian Mining Institute, which has had sessions at Rossland and Nelson, telephoned the following message to Greenwood : "Mining Institute regrets to find it impossible to visit Boundary at present. Please express regrets to your members. Will write explanatton first opportunity." It will be remembered that the invitation to the members of the Institute had been accepted, and arrangements were made by the Board of Trade of Greenwood to meet them at Grand Forks, where they were to have banqueted, and drive them to the various comps, tendering them a smoking concert at the Club.

The Nelson Economist complains that the order it gave for cover paper has gone astray, and that it has to use colored print out of stock. There is this advantage about the Economist's dilemma : It is sure to be red. Once in a long while a newspaperman is in luck. Walter C. Clarke, of the Kamloops Standard, has fallen heir to ��10,000. The Miner pauses until it has an opportunity to witness the surprise of the financier of the New Denver Ledge. An item is going the rounds of the news columns of the Canadian as well as of the American papers, to the effect that the Hon. David Mills, Minister of Justice, is the son of an American citizen, a native of New York State, and that he himself is a graduate of the University of Michigan. The Hon. David Mills is the son of a United Empire Loyalist, who came to Palmyra, Ont., via the Maritime Provinces, and is descended from that old Puritan stock that left England in the Mayflower. The old Mills' hpmestead is one of the oldest on old Talbot street road, in the County of Kent, Ont. The present Minister of Justice was born, and raised there, taught school, and was for many years inspector. It is true that he took a course in the Michigan University, but regarding his nativity as a Canadian, there can be no doubt. Nor is there any man in Canada concerning whom Canadians have greater reason to be proud. This is worth bearing in mind. By keeping apples in a cellar in such a way that they do not touch each other, just as eggs are packed, and kept at the same temperature, they can be preserved in good order for an indifinite length of time. It is also stated that eggs may be kept perfectly fresh for months by placing them where pure, cold water is allowed constantly to run over them. The Vancouver Province has published a summer number, containing a large number of illustrations. It is devoted largely to the resources and attractions of British Columbia. It gives evidence of enterprise throughout, business as well as literary. In the September number of the Mining Record, there is an illustrated article by Frederic Keffer, M. E., on the Mother Lode. Needless to say it is of the most authentic character. The well-known, and not less popular executive agent of the C. P. R. in this Province, has been very ill at Rossland, suffering from blood piosoning. The trouble arose from the after effects of tooth-pulling. When it comes to a ques- titn of "pull" Geo. McL is a power, but it appears that when the process is reversed, it does not agree with him. His friends, however, are pleased to learn of his recovery. The Rossland Miner announces that W. A. Carlyle, general superintendent of the British America corporation, has resigned, and accepted the management of the Rio Tinto mine, Spain, at a salary of not less than $25,000 a year. The Rio Tinto is situated in the Province of Auelva in the south of Spain, and employs 14,000 men. It is one of the oldest known copper mines, having been producing over 2,000 years ago. It is said to have a lead 1,000 feet wide, and to yield 2.8 per cent, only in copper. Last year it produced 1,500,000 tons of ore, and shipped 800,000 tons, paying dividends of $4,500,000. The finding of Dreyfus guilty, and his subsequent sentencing to ten years imprisonment, came as a surprise to the world. Morethan thatitis contrary to the sympathies of the whole civilized world outside of France itself. Latterly, it was thought that he would be found guilty, and sentenced to a term not exceeding that already served, which has in all conscience been severe enough; and in that way satisfy to some extent the demands of both sides. Instead of that, Dreyfus must be publicly degraded a second time, and confined for ten years in a fortress on the continental territory of the Republic." Mr. Jaffray'a View* of Greenwood. In a long interview in the Globe, regarding British Columbia, Mr. Jaffray said about this section: "We went to Pentiction, and then to Camp McKinney. Cariboo is the mine, which, being the most developed, is the pioperty which has attracted the attention of the public to the district. We found its condition, and its prospects highly satisfactory, and there is no doubt that this will be a most successful camp. Republic camp is in a prosperous condition. The Republic mine is one of the best for the stockholders that I have seen. The city of Greenwood showed great signs of activity, and there is no question but that, surrounded by rich properties as it is, it will become a great centre. We passed through Midway, which, having a waterway in the Kettle River, and plenty of room, may yet be a very valuable ore smelting town. The ledges around Greenwood are wide and strong, in fact there seems to be no limit to the quantity of the ore that can be produced out of that district. We inspected the Mother Lode, and the King Solomon, and a number of others, and also visited the Copper Camp, B. C, and the Emma. The width of the veins and the quantity of the ore here were also altogether beyond our expectations. We were taken over the Brooklyn, Stem- winder, Idaho, and Rawhide, and the other properties of the Dominion Copper Company. Some of them are well developed enough to prove that they will be very profitable properties. The condition of the Knob Hill, Ironsides, and Virginia was also most promising, and the fact of the large smelter being erected in Grand Forks is the best evidence of the faith that the owners of the properties have in them." Coming: to Kootenay. Sir Mackenzie Bowell, ex-premier, of Canada, is on his way to the Kootenays accompanied by his daughter Mrs, McCarthy, and his granchildren Miss McCarthy and Mrs. Charles Holten. Sir Mackenzie will spend a day or two at the coast before he comes to this district where he intends to spend some weeks. Seasonable groceries at Law &Co.'s. * Cabin for rent.

A Beautiful Tribute to the Pioneers In the Mining: West Every old miner ia not a rich man, nor is every rich miner an old one. Many, very many, who' joined in blazing trails to the Eldoradoa in tbe far west, who bave built their humble log cabins where prosperous towns or cities have long since displaced them, who set their stakes, and spent months or yeare to develop prospects into paying mines, whose hopes of striking wealth ended not in fruition, whose tenacity of purpose, and bulldog bangonativeness led them, over and over again, to venture their time, their labor, their all in other equally disasterous ventures, have either passed "over the range" to prospect for home "not made with hands, eternal in the heavens," or are now with whitened locks or furrowed cheeks, with bent forms and faltering steps, patiently waiting for the summons to lay aside their picks, pans and shovels, and drills, and spoons, and hammers, and go up higher, where short water, and barren rock are known no more forever. We say there are many old miners waiting to join their comrades, who have gone to find a bonanza in the Great Beyond, and who leave the world as they entered it, with nothing to claim save the air they breathed. But they have done a good work, they lived not in vain. Fifty years ago they crossed the Missouri river, and entered the "Great American Desert," into an almost unknown country, bearing their lives in their hands, meeting and overcoming obstacles and dangers of which they knew not, frightening or driving the savages of the plains from their pathway, and the less savage animals from their lairs, but defying all, followed the setting sun on its course to the golden sands of the Pacific, where they founded an empire in domain, a storehouse abounding in gold. But they builded better than they knew. They opened the way for olhers to follow. In blazing the trail to tbe Pacific they passed over great stretches of plains and mountains, out of which Nebraska, Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Nevada have been carved each treasure vault from which countless millions have been emptied into the busy world's channels of trade, creating millionaires and multimillionaires, while the trail blazers themselves were awakening echoes in camps that added more millions to the wealth of countries and their people. All hail to the old miner! He opened the gates through which the more fortunate passed to wealth. He uncomplainingly endured the privations and hardships which are ever the band- maids of the pioneer. His youth disappeared in his combats with an adverse fortune. Middle-at^e claimed him before he finished his battle, and old age has seized him. Physically broken down, but rejoicing, he has lived to see an empire in the west, "all of which he saw and part of which he was." Envy possessed not the old miner's soul. It will be a abort time only when the busy, hustling, bustling throng around him, grasping for the "almighty dollar," will also travel the road leading to the unknown hereafter, which he is prepared to take when the signal is given to "strike camp." ��� Western Mining World. morning, having completed the work. He has left the Minnehoha in possession of a smooth running, efficient plant. Chas.

He contemplates moving his family to McKinney. W. S. Sutton, B. S., M. E., of Victoria, paid the camp a visit this week. Mr. Fairbairn, of Greenwood, and his staff of surveyors, are doing work for the Sailor Consolidated M. & M. Co. They are at present laying out the Rover in town lots. C. De B. Green, P. L.

A special general meeting of the Board of Trade was held on Friday evening in Rendell's Hall, at which there was a large attendance. W. M. Law and Mayor Hardy reported on the conference that had been held with Messrs. Crowhurst and McMillan, the gentlemen who had baen in the city looking for a site for a foundry and machine shops. A fair proposition had been made to them, but after agreeing to meet the committee later on they declared it off as they had, they claimed, to consult their principals in the matter. Subsequently it was announced that they had located in Columbia. The following new members were proposed and elected: Messrs. W. T. Smith, F. Keffer, J. H. McFurlane, and A. Fisher. On motion of Messrs. Cameron and Sutherland the members present went into committee of the whole to consider the by-laws that had been framed by a committee appointed for. the purpose, James Kerr occupying the chair. The by-laws were adopted clause by clause and finally passed. The initiation fee was fixed at $10 and the regularly quarterly dues at $2.50. A tramway to Phoenix was then discussed. C. S. Galloway, the president, explained the steps that had already been taken by the council to secure a preliminary survey, and an estimate of cost. Some parties were already negotiating in the direction of operating the tramway, and he had no doubt if the terms could be satisfactorly arranged, that the tramway would be built shortly. Mayor Hardy thought that there would be no difficulty bo far as the citizens were concerned in passing any reasonable by-law in support of the scheme. So far as the city franchise was concerned, which had been referred to, he was in favor of the city retaining it. After the expression of other views on the subject it was allowed to drop without any definite aution, as the project had not yet assumed a sufficiently definite stage. ,:;��� The next subject taken up was the representation of Boundary Creek minerals at the Spokane Exposition. The president read a letter he had received from the secretary, and urged that immediate action be taken to have the district well represented. The matter of having suitable literature regarding the city and district was also discussed and decided in the affirmative. After considerable debate it was moved and carried that a committee, consisting of Messrs. W. M Law, Thos. Miller, and Jas. Kerr, be appointed to raise subscriptions to the amount of $350, for the purpose of sending a commissioner with an exhibit to the Spokane fair, the amount in question to cover all expenses. W. T. Smith was then appointed to take the exhibit in charge, he agreeing to collect, transport, attend to at Spokane, and do everything else necessary in connection therewith for the amount mentioned. The secretary was authorized to collect subscriptions, and pay all outstanding bills, and the board adjourned. A Tramway for the Gold Bag. The Gold Bug is shipping a carload of ore to the Trail smelter, and arrangements have been made for the erection of an aerial tramway for permanent shipments. The right of way h already graded, and the wire and lower station will be put in place as soon as possible. When the 100-foot level is reached drifting will be begun.

LOCAL JOTTINGS. Rev. W. Robins, B. A., curate of St. Mary, Redcliffa, Bristol, has been offered the charge of the Church of England mission in Greenwood. Mr. Robius is a nephew of Dr. Gott, Bishop of Truro, and son of a well known clergyman of Cheshire. He is about thirty years of age, and unmarried. Bfsbop Gott says of him: "He is exceptionally devout, energetic, and gifted in parish work of all kinds, a good preacher, and very successful in dealing with men.

He left Rossland at eleven o'clock on Thursday morning by train, and reached here at eight o'clock the same evening. Upon reaching Boss- burg he took his own team of thoroughbred cayuses, and drove the rest of the distance in six hours. The horses were stfll in good condition when reaching here, but nothing but genuine, native- born cayuses could have stood it. Mr. Munn, until recently in charge of the liquor department of A.

Frank Smith, mining editor of the Toronto World, is in the city, and has been for some days. He is visiting the surrounding camps, and will write an exhaustive and reliable report on the mineral resources and the leading properties of the Boundary Creek district for his paper. The Hoffman Restaurant will open Saturday Sept. 16, on Government St. Mrs. J. E. Carpenter. J. E. Tiedemann, the insurance adjuster, who was here last week with Mr. Dickenson of Victoria, went a way greatly impressed with the facilities that have been provided to fight fire, which he says are the best iu the country for 69 CASES 69 of Boots and Shoes and Rubber Goods RENDELL & CO. the size of the place. He came into Greenwood with the idea of "pulling out" his companies on account of the two fires this summer, but departed as enthusiastic as be was previously pessimistic. The same remarks apply to Mr. Dickenson. E. W. Paisley, Chilliwack, representing the Toronto World, has been in the city this week. He reports having had good success all along the line. If tbe present pace keeps up Greenwood will soon have hotels "to burn." CHESAW DOINGS. Special Correspondence Miner. Prof. Philip Odum of Houghton, Mich., graduate of the University of Virginia, and holder of a first grade certificate, has been engaged to teach school at Chesaw, and will open school Sept. 23rd. There are already thirty scholars, and many more will be added from the crowds coming in. A month ago there was only eight or ten children iu the district, but as the population increased, the citizens held a meeting, put up a due school building, 40x60, all by subscription, and at once sent for a teacher, and sent in an application for the appointment of a board of directors. J. W. Terrell has let the contract for a shaft house, boarding and bunk house, and 50 feet of work at tbe War Eagle. They have now crosscut the ledge over 32 feet, and have not yet reached the foot wall. Tbe ore still remains of the same character, and looks like the Republic. Late assays run from $34 to $146 iu gold and silver. The Jim Hill, situated in the centre of the town of Chesaw, is now 58 feet deep. They have crosscut the ledge fourteen feet, and have not yet reached the foot wall. Assays taken from every foot so far have averaged $31.34 in gold and silver The Reno, owned by D. A. Holbrook & Co., ou which the old town is situat- uated, has a large force of men at work under the management of Wm. Fowler, who is superintendent. They are sinking on the ledge, and are all in ore. The surface shows an iron capping 42 feet wide. At a depth of twenty feet they are in quartz, resembling the Review, and carrying values of from $9.00 to $41 in gold. Two new blacksmith shops have been erected in the past week, and several new dwellings have gone up on Hol brook, Kean & Co's. addition, that has recently been surveyed into lots. Holbrook, Kean & Co., of Greenwood, have opened a lumber yard, and keep teams constantly hauling in lumber, lath and shingles, which are put into buildings as fast as they can g >\\ it on the ground. Mr. Fisher, of Greenwood, ia building a saw mill at Rock Creek to supply the Chesaw trade, and expects to be running in a week. Messrs. Gur- ney and McPherson have a shingle factory running at Rock Creek, and Mr. Kean has contracted for their entire output for the Chesaw trade. McDonald's stage is loaded every night with passengers, and Dan will have to put on more rigs to keep up with the procession. Chesaw is all excited over the big strike on the Independence mine, one- half mile south of town. This property is owned by Messrs. Lynch and Murphy, both experienced miners. Three weeks ago they offered a quarter interest in the group for $100. They have sunk a shaft 58 feet deep, and Monday came into a body of ore different from anything yet found in this camp. They were sinking on the foot wall, when they found this ore. They crosscut to determine the width of it, and now have eight feet of solid ore, and no sign of the other wall. From seven assays taken Tuesday across this eight feet, the average is $193.14 in gold, and $47.20 in silver. This beats anything yet discovered in camp, and great excitement prevails. Town property as a consequence has gone up, and Chesaw lots are selling at a premium. There is a lumber famine in town, and enough cannot be had to supply the demand. The government staff of allotment agents and assistants, Messrs. W. E. and J. E. Casson, J. E. Welch, Wm. Sprage, and J. M. Hall, are at Chesaw making the final allotment to the Indians. When this is done they have settled nearly all the Indian claims, and then the reservation will be thrown open for settlement. For many miles surrounding Chesaw there are the finest farming and stock lands to be found, and with the thousands of settlers that will rush in and take up land, do their improvements, buy machinery, supplies, etc., Chesaw will boom. The rush to Oklahoma, and the Cherokee strip, the world-famous stampede, will be outdone here. There is better land, better water, timber, etc., to say nothing of the rich mineral resources, the develop ment of which will create a market for their supplies. The climate, too, is the finest on the Pacific coast. The district will fill up with husky settlers and miners in the next few months. Greenwood being the nearest wholesale point, and the railroad centre, the nearest point where we can get supplies, will naturally obtain a great share of this immense trade, and the settling- up of the Colville reservation will mean thousands of dollars to the merchants and business men of Greenwood. Liberal-Conservative Association. A meeting of the Liberal-Conservatives of Greenwood and District, will be held in Rendell'a hall on Wednesday evening, Sept. -27, for the purpose of appointing delegates to attend the annual meeting of the Liberal-Conservative Union at New Westminster, Oct. 5, and for other purposes. All Liberal- Conservatives are cordially invited to attend. Young men are particularly requested to be present. Greenwood, Sept. 15, 1899. 2t. NEW AND POPULAR BOOKS.
