[The Greenwood Weekly Times]
BC Historical Newspapers
The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day.

Greenwood Fort Gkorgjj, May 27, 1907. To Editor Boundary Creek Times: A few hints to the traveling- public liitherward ma}' not come amiss at this time of the early travel toward the mecca of the upper country "and the G. T. P.' route. At Ihe present writing there are all kiuds and conditions of. men hiking north from Ashcroft, on the C. P. R., to Port George on- the upper Fraser. They are to be seen on foot, horseback, stage and canoe��� some wise and otherwise. The number of tales of woe grow day by day of parties who have been abandoned along the river by their crews of canoe men, if they refuse to double the wages agreed- upon at the start. The sucker, as a rule, pays what is demanded until the scale runs the gamut from $4 to $12 per diem for man and canoe, capped by the last incident of a couple of suckers from Michigan paying $30 for a canoe trip of 19 miles down stream, $10 per ��� hour���expensive traveling. The Indians along the upper Fraser, more particularly the herd on the Rancherie at Fort George, are pastmasters in all the tricks that are vain and peculiar. ' " I "would earnestly advise "any person touring this section for pleasure or profit to avoid this bunch of pirates. .The truth is as far from them as' any hopes of 1 their redemption. Any intending visitor should be careful to provide himself with the latest pattern of.Mouser pistol and a liberal supply of ammunition, as there is absolutely no police protection in this section. Within a radius of 100 miles of this point fires have destroyed $100,000,000 worth of timber during the last summer, and this is a very conservative estimate. But the loss of a few millions is apparently a matter of no moment to the provincial government. Within four miles of Fort George a low rib of hills extends from the Fraser river to the Nechaco, a distance of some 12 miles. This 'was_cover^"-"witfi^"lfine~"gr6wtfi" of good timber, mixed spruce and fir, of good milling size, and would cut a good 20,000 b. m. to the acre. This was deliberately destroyed by fire last fall. About 4 p. m. yesterday, while a party of us were awaiting the arrival of a canoe at the Hudson Bay post, our attention was called to a fire 'some 1 )4 miles up stream, on the west side of the river, a high wind blowing at the time. In a short time several other dense clouds of smoke showed up iii a line across the point between the Nechaco and Fraser river. The line of fire distinctly proclaimed it malicious intent, and within an hour some 2^ miles were merrily blazing and a few thousan4 more of the public resources were going up in smoke. Some hours later the fire bug arrived and quietly informed us that he had got a good fire going. Pleasant prospect, is it not? Capital should be careful, and avoid investing in timber, when it is dollars to doughnuts that they will lose. The fool pilgrim will find on arrival here that there are few points along the beaten route that are not already occupied, as stakes are to be seen at every point and turn of stream or trail. The country has been overrun by a pestiferous class of stake pedlars, a breed of swine that has been called into existence within the last few years. Their stakes are placed purely and- simply for the purpose of holdiug up the first one that comes along that is fool enough to pay up the pirates' demand for previous location. One enterprising high financier of this character has some 135 stakes to his credit, covering timber and agricultural lands. These he , wishes to dispose of. The government-should hold this person responsible for every stake planted. Tnese parties should be called upon to pay a penalty, the offense should be declared a criminal act, and a hen vy penalty tacked on for every stake ^thus placed. For the cost of living, find the prices at Vancouver, then multiply by 3 and 4U and you will be able to get somewhere near the market values up here. ��� If you wish to get a fair idea of the country leave the beaten track. There is no doubt of the agricultural value of the country, and large areas of good land can be found. Find a good location for several people and settle in ���bunches, then wait the arrival of the railroad and you will have no kick coming on the country. There is laud in the country yet in the vicinity of Fort George, I am told by seyeral parties here. A limb of the devil, with a new gun, killed 12 head of caribou at one killing and. let-them rot, just to try his gun, but there is a possibility that the province will pass a game law in a few years. Yours very truly, Cunthixi.. An Amusing Incident Accounts for It. GOT LEFT A meeting- of the Greenwood Board of Trade will be held in the office of the Bealey Investment company tomorrow (Saturday), . June 9th, at 4 o'clock sharp. Among- other matters the question of the advisability of issuing-.a small pamphlet on the re sources of the Bouudary will be considered. HER WORK DONE And Then the People Alone the Railway Line AH the Way West Got Left, Too. AGAIN BLOWN IN For a few days last week the furnaces at the B. C. Co.'s plant here were cold, owing to some improvements being made on the water pipes connected therewith. On Monday last \he fires were ag-ain lighted and two furnaces put in "commission. The third big furnace will be started up in a few days, a sufficient tonnage at the mines now being assured. FRUIT TREES The extreme care experienced by the postoffice' department in the conduct of the.mail service was brought out by au event last Wednesday which lost none of its amusing features in the annoyance it gave the patrons of the service along the railway line The mail clerk on the Canadian Pacific, west bound, according to dispatches received, got left at Westley, a station a short distance west ��� of Castlegar. At first, report said that he bad,fallcn from the train, but later advices reported him as simply left by the train. As a result, the towns along the line west of Westley got no mail. The mail matter was carried to Bouudary Falls and there transferred to the eastbouud,-to be worked over and returned the next day. ' In the absence cf some one responsible for the receipt' and delivery of mail, it was quite proper that no mail should be given out and none received. As the result of this one man's accident, or mistake, or blunder, or whatever it may be called, a great number were disappointed, and possibly suffered injury, but certainly no censure can attach to those in charge of the train for inability to deliver the mail. THINGS DOING In the death of Mrs. M. A. Pope, whose fuueral services were held in the Methodist church this afternoon, the community suffers a distinct loss. The deceased was highly' respected by all-who knew her. She was prominent in the work of the church to which she belonged. Quiet and retiring in manner, her interest in all good works wa�� universally commended. ���3��#& OFFICIALS Are Looking Over Their Properties. THE PRESIDENT ASD VICE Of TOOK A JUMP Three cases from Phoenix were down on the docket for trial at the late assizes here. But when the cases were called the defendants did not appear. The men had forfeited their bail. The court was richer in money but poorer in opportunities to exercise its wholesome functions. The justice instructed the crown prosecutor to notify the attorney general's department of the way the law has beeu administered up on -the hill. the B. C. Copper Company Have Beerf-Spending the Week in the District. OUGHT TO GET MLN British Columbia ought to have no trouble in getting men- for, railway work, during its beautiful summer months. At present-large numbers of men are quitting work on the North Coast roa<\ near Yakima, owing to the oppressive heat, and are coming north. One contractor there has been obliged to abandon his contract for the summer, being unable to hold his men. To avoid their loss entirely, he has opened work at St. Joe, Idaho, hoping to hold the men there for summer and return them to Washington in the autumn. One can't well keep his eye on Pasco now on account of the dust. SCHOOL REPORT FOR MAY Division I.���J. L. Watson, Pupils actually attending 33.00 Average daily attendance 27.59 W. H.

This is a recent law and a very wise oue, and is considered a first step toward compulsory education. Business in steel rails includes large quantities for Japan and Panama, Structural steel mills have extensive inquiries for office buildings, factories and railway bridges, most of the'pressure coming from western cities. Bessemer pig iron may be defined as iron which contains so little phosphorus and sulphur as to be of itself '���.onverti- ble into steel by the original Bessemer process. In America this term is ap- ylied to pig iron containing 10 per cent or less phosphorous. EVENING DRESS SUITS The Chanjres This Year Are Hardly Noticeable, but Necessary. There are only a few minor changes in the prevailing styles of dress coats, but the minor changes are the more important because of the securing of the necessary style. Few gentlemen nowadays think of ordering a dress coat from a retail merchant tailor. Making but a few such suits each year, the tailor cannot begin to create the style or produce the finished garment which one can buy at the Semi-ready wardrobe and have finished to order in a few hours. Semi- ready dress suits are sold at S25, $30, and as high as $40, while Tuxedo jackets, with silk facings, can be had as low as S15. P. W. George & Co. will be pleased to show you how what "Semi-Ready" tailoring profits the wearer. The Standard Oil company is up against it. In Texas they have been fined over $1,500,000 for law violation in regard to rebates, and a suit is in progress to revoke their charter in that state. Ohio and Missouri are also after the octopus and fines of many more millions are iu sight. The department of railways has S1SO.OO0 which was voted at the last session of parliament, to gladden the hearts of some of those employees on the Intercolonial railway who have uot yet received increases in their pay during the past two or three years. Among those who will share in this increase are certain classes of machinists, clerks and carmen. The deputy minister of railways has not yet worked out the schedule���-is soon. as this is done the money will be paid out. OPEN TO FOREIGNERS The commission under the presidency of the minister of commerce, which has been considering the future of the Russian half of the island of Sahgal- ien, has decided in favor of permitting foreigners, with the consent of the ministers of commerce, finance' and agriculture, to exploit the mineral wealth in that part of the empire.

OUTPUT OF BOUNDARY ORES The i,ow Gkadic mines of the Boundary, which first began shipment in 1900, sending out 100,000 tons that y'ear, have been steadily increasing.

The car was switched to the copper track at the B. C. Co.'s smelter and has remained there during the week. The car contained two gentlemen largely interested in the welfare of Greenwood, Mr. Colgate Hoyt and Mr. B. B. Lawrence, respectively president and vice, president of the British Columbia Cop'per company. Mr. Jubland, a mining man, had registered, at the Imperial a day or two previously, aud joined the party here. That these New York gentlemen did not cope to the Boundary for a holiday is manifest 6y their activity since arriving." Tuesday the party spent at the Mother Lode making a careful examination into the company's property. Wednesday the party divided; Mr. Hoyt going to Summit Camp in company with Superintendent McAllister to look over the big group of producing mines the company owns there, " the B. C, Denoro,- Emma and others, while Mr. Lawrence was escorted by Mr. F. Keffer- to White's camp, to take a look at the Lone Star, .which report says is fast" becoming"dne*"o'rTtne big things of the Boundary. . Thursday, morning early, the party was again at work visiting other holdings of the company. The report which these gentlemen will bear back to New York cannot be otherwise than inspiring to the company's directorate and the investing public. It is believed that they will find the company's holdings in fine physical condition, and its local management very effective. We confidently expect that as a result of their visit we may nat- . urally look to see the present existing inequality between the ��� market value of the B. ��� C: and Granby stocks in measure removed. T_he_.B._C._company_s plant-here has not the present smelting capacity of the Granby, but it has what mining meu consider an equal asset in its mines. Granby $100 shares sell today . at $135, while B. C. . S5. shares sell at from $8 to $8.50. But the Granby is capitalized at $15,000,- 000 and the B. C. at $3,000,000. Thus the market value of the B. C. today is only about $5,000,- 000, while that of the Granby is about $20,000,000. We do not say that the Granby is too high, nor are wc able to demonstrate that B. C. is too low, but wc do think there is an unjustified disparity and we expect to sec a confidence begotten by the visit of Messrs. Hoyt and Lawrence that will appreciate B. C. Copper company stocks considerably. .*, PRICES OF METALS The prices of the metals continue very satisfactory, and with slight fluctuations, hover around the following: Copper 24 cents Silver; 65 cents Lead 5 cents has Granby Consolidate!'* snieltoi been idle for about 30 days. It was1' closed down May 1 by the coal and coke famine which resulted from the strike of the coal miners in the Northwest. This suspension of operations* will severely cut into the company's net earnings this year, but it is not probable that it will cause any change in its dividend rate of 2 per cent regular and 1 per cent extra quarterly, tlie announcement of which is now about due. Granby's earnings in March and April are understood to have been at the rate of 530 to 335 per share annually on its stock, or nearly three times its current dividend payments. ^mmw^^^^^^^M^z Cr* Cr* Cr* Cr* Cr* Cr* Cr* Cr* cr* cr* cr* cr* cr* ��=< Q=< Cr* Cr* Cr* Cr* Cr* Cr* Rest $11,000,000.

In the graphic -words of this witness, if there had.been no gun, there would have ensued no gunning. It would be idle to attempt to attempt to measure the extent of Dale's passion by this false accusation, but there is no doubt that, quick-tempered as he was, it had a bearing on his subsequent actions. More to the purpose, however, would be an attempt to estimate the possible effect a * blow on the head, sufficient to bring a man- to his knees, might have, in deciding his actions. Was Dale so affected possibly that he failed, to realize the enormity of his murderous plans? If so, doubtless some consideration was due the doomed man. We do, not censure the jur- ors,^who could hav'e 'done little else than they did, unless, possibly, recommending-a measure of clemency. While we think men like Dale deserve most condign punishment, if society is to be protected, we rather incline to the belief that the ends of justice under the circumstances named, may be served by life imprisonment. The measure of mercy sought for Dale must not be on the plea of consideration for his relatives, who are highly respected in the cdmmunitypand^for^whom^great sympathy is felt, but on the ground of probable extenuation.

Dale, commuted blow did not jnjure. him. to life imprisonment. The crime for which Dale was sentenced was a most heinous one, and deserves severe punishment. To attempt to have the sentence of the court, in so serious a matter, modified, involves grave responsibility and should only be undertaken under circumstances plainly justifying- it. They who arc moving in the matter think such If a judicial mind sees in the circumstance any ground of doubt, as to its effect, the prisoner will doubtless lie found entitled to its benefit. Perhaps the great heart of the world is seen in nothing more plainly than in the movement to establish sanitariums for the cure of consumptives. Great Britain, .Germany, the United States, and now Canada are moving in the matter with most commendable zeal. Sir Edward Cassett has placed a million dollars at the disposal of King Edward for the work, and the king himself has offered three prizes of $2,500, $1,000 and $500, open to all nationalities for the best plans and essays on the construction of a model sanitarium. ROOSEVELT VS. LONG. Roosevelt is a great man, and one of the world's leading figures, liut Roosevelt appears to circumstances appear in the case! want to he authority on too many in question. The chief witness things, and to meddle in matters for tbe state gave evidence that below the dignity of his position might be most favorably construed in the interests of the defence, and although the plea of the defence failed to impress the jury to the extent of recommending the-'clemency of the court, it may be that those in a position to judically weigh the fact, may find therein extenuating circumstances Scotty Smith, himself a victim of the rifle which found too others all. too surely, testified unequivocally to two facts, both prisoner's favor.

A Montreal dispatch of the 27th ult. to the Globe, says: -'The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway company will this month begin the construction of the first of its lines in British Columbia, and with this work will begin a new era for Ihe Pacific coast province, an era that will see theopening up of the whole, of the northern part of that immensely rich part of the Dominion. The line on which the work will be started will be a branch that will-tap tbe main line at a fjiace called Kitsalas, -half way-betwccn-Hazelton and-Prince Rupert, and will run southward ; to Kitamaat, situated on a sheltered harbor on the coast. The. charter for this branch was purchased by the Grand Trunk Pacific, one of the terms of sale being that SICO.OOO must be spent on the work before August 1 this year.. The building of this line from Kitamaat to Kitsalas will mean much for that part of the country. It is very rich 3n timber and coal, but heretofore these could not be developed on accouut of the lack'of transportation facilities. The road would give an outlet from the famous Teleque and Bulkley valley-the year round.. At present people who wish to come out from there for the winter have to leave about November, or before the Skeena river freezes. Much importance is attached at the Grand Trunk Pacific headquarters to the conferences that have been in progress during tlie past week between Mr. F. W. Morse, vice president of the Grand Truntc Pacific, and Mr. D. D. Mann, vice president of the Canadian Northern, with regard to a joint terminus at Winnipeg. Nothing has been yet agreed to further than the general lines upen which the plans will be prepared." NEEDED ELSEWHERE In a certain town are two brothers who are engaged in the retail coal business. A noted evangelist visited the town and converted the elder brother of the firm. For weeks after his conversion the brother who had lately ''got religion" endeavored to persuade the other to join the church. One day, when the elder brother was making another effort he asked: "Why can't you, Richard, join the church as I did?" "It's all right for you to be a member of the church," replied Richard "but if I join who's going to weigh the coal?" ���Argoaaut. Hon, C. W. Robinson is now premier of New Brunswick.

The time from Britain to Australia could be cut several days below the best time by the Suez, and Canada, as Mr. Kiftou puts i,t, be "on the world's main highway."

The male contingent of the gathering was composed of farmers, mill then and logging hands: .the fairer sex, the wives, sisters, and sweethearts of the men and the district school teacher, who was the center of attraction of the young men and who seemed to be aware of her own popularity. During the evening an awkward, bashful and roughly dressed logging hand was introduced to the school teacher and asked if he might have a dance with her. The school teacher drew herself, up haughtily and said: "No, sir-ee; ��� I am particular with whom I dance." Whereupon the logging hand replied, with au air of indifference, "I am not, a mite, or I would never have .islced you."���Judge's Library.

They did what they set out to do. ���QMrs. Duncan Ross and daughter, Christine, will arrive on Sunday evening next and will reside for the summer in the Fair home on the hill. The need of another school room has become so urgent that a contract has been let to H. Bunting to finish np the seco.nd iloor of the school building. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will hold an ice cream social on the lawn at the ihanse on Kimberly avenue on the evening of June 19th. G. B.Taylor, city clerk, will take a few days holiday on the coast next week, and represent the local Odd Fellows at the annual meeting at Nanaimo. Messrs. Colgate Hoyt and B. B Lawrence of New York, respectively presi dent and vice president of the B. C. Copper Co., came in by special train Monday evening, Harry Morgan is spending a few weeks on his claims on Copper mountain, near Bolster. There is considerable inquiry from outside mining men about this section at present. According'to a letter received here recently from Fred Munn, about all that is left for the newcomerin Nevada is a bit of alkali remote from any town, and a chance at the air, which is none of the best. Charles Rundsberg, an experienced mining man from Salt Lake citj", has beenappmuted superintendent of the Dominion Copper Co.'s mines in this camp. He arrived late last week with Mrs. Rundsberg. ��������� Duncan Mcintosh is again in the Boundary. He can't cure the old habit in a hurry you know. How can you expect a man that has been interested in the development of these hills to be content with the prairie? The C. P. R. announced on June 2nd, when the summer time card became effective, they will run a sleeper Banff to Vancouver daily. Several sections of this car have been reserved for the accommodation of the Kootenay passengers. Berths can be secured through the Nelson city offices, or J. S. Carter, D. P. A., Nelson, B..C.

Call at the Greenwood Bakery for New England bread, Gus Wheatley, who recently returned from Seattle, got lost among the improvements that have taken place since he left there a dozen years ago, and came home glad to get back to the hills where he can keep his bearings. A meeting of the local fish and game protective association will be held in the city hall Monday evening, next to arrange for a meeting with the provincial game warden, A. Byron Williams, whose arrival is now announced for the 12th. ���'*'���'.-. Frank Gome came down from Central camp a few days ago, suffering with what appeared to be a felon on his hand, but which threatens to be blood poisoning. He is being treated for it here, and is staying at the Sisters' hospital. The ladies at the Mother lode are to be congratulated on the purchase of a very line chapel organ for use in the public hall at the mine. The organ is by far the finest of its kind in the district, and reflects credit at once on the taste and enterprise of those concerned. Jos. Willmshurst has just completed repairs on the old V., V. & E. tote road west of Kettle river, between Roberts' ranch and Midway. This makes an alternative route from the west, and will prove a valuable emergency highway in case the Ingram bridge, damaged by the freshet, should become unfit for passage. PAY ORE COLUMN ���m K. of P. Election. At the regular weekly meeting of Greenwood lodge No. 29, K. of P., last night the following- officers were elected : A. J. Morrison, C. C. Fred Hoar, V.. C. A. Rowe, P. P. Clnne, M. of W. A. D. Hallet, P. C, K. of E. and S., re-elected tenth term. A. F. Thomasj-P. -C./M.-of F., re-elected. Martin Anderson, P. C, M. of E., re-elected. S. Jaynes, M. at A; E. J. Vandergrift,M. G- Frank Steel, P. C, O. G. . Installation will be held "Wednesday, July 10, at which there will be a general roster, when all members of the lodge wi 11 be expected to answer to their names. The Lone Star is reported to be making a fine showing under the superiu- tendency of Henry Johnson. The electric hoist on the Dimond was put into operation on Wednesday last and worked like a charm. The Providence has been raising a car of high grade a week lately, out of the south drift"of the 400 foot level. F. P. Buck of the Phoenix Amalgamated, is authority for the statement that work will be begun on the company's property al Phoenix at an early day. While here Mr. Buck arranged to include other claims iu the company's holdings. The Golconda management has decided to build a. wagon road to their property. The road up the mountain will start from the Castieman ranch. Although the lead proper has not been cut, the ore now being taken ont will justify shipment. It looks as if the increased cost of labor might interfere with the working of some,of the high grade mines of the camp. If, as is alleged, the men would prefer smaller wages in these small mines to larger ones in tne big mines, It is a pity the unions could not issue a dispensation permitting the men to do so." THE SLAG PILE Lead in gold or silver ores is only paid for by the smelters when it runs over 5 per cent, except in special cases- of large contracts. One of the most useful applications of the diamond drill in mine work is to determine geological conditions, more especially where there is considerable faulting. The department of finauce of Mexico recently decided that the word dollar used on a check or or otherwise, shall mean American gold, and when payments are made in silver, peso shall be mentioned. This settles a vexatious question, at least in Mexico. Most ol the laborers iu the zinc-lead mines in the tipper Mississippi valley are of Cornish or American descent, and have come mainly from farms. There are no unions. In the mines the shift is eight hours Jong. Surface laborers work nine hours and milhnen ten. Tne mines usually run two shifts and the mill one. Mining in the upper Mississippi valley is usually done on the leasing system, very few of the operating companies owning their fees. The first royalty is 10 per cent, except in dry mines, where 12li per cent is sometimes exacted. In the case of subleases 15 per cent or more is asked, depending on conditions. Lead mines are leased in lots of various sizes, generally from 5 to 40 acres. MINERS' WAGES Miners are not apt to leave the Boundary to seek employment either in the valley of the Mississippi or in Mexico, if the Mining World's table of wages herewith submitted beutrue. Wages in the upper Mississippi valley are: Hand miners, 31.50 to $2 per shift; machine men, S2.2S to S2.7S; helpers, SI.75 to 32.25; trammers, 31.60 to S2.25, except when paid by the tub; jigmen, S3; engineers, $2.50; firemen; S2.25; common laborers, SI.30 In the Taviche district in Mexico, the daily wages in money (Si equals 50 cents gold), are for miners, 51 toS1.50;choistmen, S2 to S3; blacksmiths, SI to S3: masons, SI to S1.50; peons, 50 to 75 cents; Mexican foremen, S2 to S3.50. to S1.S0.

MOORE CONCERT CO. acing your or It Will Appear in the Auditorium for Two Ntehts The Moore Concert Co. will appear in the Auditorium Friday and Saturday, June 14th and.' 15th next. This company has occupied four months in playing the towns between Winnipeg and Rossland, and appeared in Cranbrook to good.houses for eight nights.

Having a personal acquaintance, with this company we have no hesitation in recommending it to the good people, of Magrath as one of the best concert companies on the road. The ' instrumental and vocal music is new and up to date, the *mov- ing pictures and illustrated songs are of the highest order and clearest type, while the orchestra for the dance is the best by far that ever reached thisneck of the woods. If you love music take it in, if you want the best dance you ever had, don't miss it; if moving pictures please you. sea them with the Moore Concert Co. Popular prices prevail, not the 'high dollar' limit. WITH NO INTENT The coroner's ihquest on the remains of the late Miss Emma Donnan of Grand- Forksr^whose-sudden 7~deathr after being struck on the head by a stick thrown by her sister, returned a verdict that death ensued from the blow, but that there was no intent to kill. The Grand Forks public commends the verdict and manifests great regret for this "sudden grief to a highly respected family. James Jackson, for a long timewith P. Burns & Co, here, and now running a meat market in Orouille, was in town Tuesday. He was enjoying the Boundary's salubrious climate to the full.

As forecasted in dispatches the measure is in its death throes, aud it is believed in authoritative quarters that as a result of the prolonged cabinet meetirg Premier Canipbell-Han- nermann will formally perform the obsequies on it. Bound up with the fate of Mr. Birrell's bill is the future of Sir Antony Patrick MacDonucll, under secretar3" to the lord lieutenant of Ireland, whom the Nationalists consider responsible for the non-fulfilment of the government's Irish promises^ and whom they are determined to oust from office by every means in their power. It is an open secret that Sir Anthony is extremely,, anvious to retire, but it is known also that the government is anxious to retain his services, and it is believed that at the cabinet meeting held.recently, all difficulties connected with his retaining office were, temporarily at least, smoothed out. The Irish Reform association, of which Lord Dunraven is president, is the latest organization to criticise adversely this unhappy bill. At a meeting of the association held in Dublin recently, a resolution was passed declaring that the measure ignored legis lative functions altogether, that it did not take into account the question, of financial relations or pretend to deal with great public works, and that it was generally absolutely inadequate.
