Absolutely Concerning Fruit Culture in This Valley Land Ready for Planting Can Yet Be Obtained at Reasonable Prices tiling is certain,thnt an unusual number of prospective purchasers ot orchard lands nre making inquiries for suitable locations in the Kettle River valley, The fact that fine LOrreCt rigureS orchard land can be got now in the valley at figures ranging from j'JTo to $100 per acse for unimproved land, while the same kind ot land in the Nelson and Okanagan districts sell readily at $800 per acre, is having its effect on the general public. Many of the inquiries come from Manitoba, while some come from as far as Nova Scotia. Realizing lhat there will be a big rush out here to select the best locations for fruit farms when once thc spring opens, these people want to make their se- The Kettle River Valley, in the centre of which is located the city of Grand Forks, contains over 10,000! lections while the snow is still on acres of agricultural land, of which | the ground. the greater part is excellent fruit land. The valley is well supplied with water, as the Kettle Iti ver Rossland Winter Carnival The first event of the Rossland flows through it, and several smaller winter carnival, which opens next streams empty into the river at or j Tuesday, will bo the grand skating near this point. This valley is just masquerade carnival. This annual coming into prominence as a fruit event is looked forward to each year growing district, and this year it outstripped all competitors by the superior quality of the fruit grown here, having won cups, medals and prizes, both in this country and at the London Fruit Exhibit. Grand Forks bas the best school, church and railway facilities of any city in the interior of British Col- . iinibia, and has a climate that can scarcely be surpassed on the continent, for homes, and is admirably adapted for fruit gjowing.. Late, or summer frosts, seldom or never do any damage, especially to the staple fruits. It.is difficult to estimate the returns from a fully developed orchard, as very few of the orchards here have attained full production. There are several 100-acre tracts now in fruit, mosily young trees. Mr. Honsberger, orcbardist, hag eight acres of prunes, the oldest in the valley, which yielded him this year $350 per acre clear of all expense. Mr. M. Burrell, nurseryman, hae half an acre of pears from which he sold $400 worth of pears this year, clear of expense. Apples, the staple fruit for shipping, grow to perfection, and although they do not yield such great profits ns prunes, piuuis, pears, cherries, strawberries, etc., they are produced with much less ex pens., alter the trees come to healing. From §250 to $300 an a rn is considered a fair yield for an apple orchard in lull bearing. All fruit irecs hear much earlier here than in portions of the country less favorable for fruit growing. The best Authorities cluim that the market fur fruit is unlimited, owing to the heavy duty in shipping it in fro .1 tin; American side, and tbat the den,ami on the Canadian side will grow [aster tiuni tlic supply. A-i there bus been no land boom here, first clnss land, cleare I, cultivated and ready 10 plant, can be pinch.ised iu 10 and 20 acre tracts at pries ranging from $100 to $200 an acre, according lo location, soil, 1'ic. In larger tracts the price is less. A number of ranches, including the famous Newby farm, which adjoins the city limits, are now being subdivided and offer excellent opportunities to parties wishing to secure first-class fruit lands at moderate prices. Whether it is the mild weather or . by a large number of the residents of Rossland as one worthy of attendance. Itis the patriotic duty 011 the part of a good many who desire to see the carnival a success to attend, because they feel that if the carnival is started auspiciously by a successful masquerade, that it will prosper to the end. Modistes have been busy for some days preparing original costumes for the occasion for a number of the ladies of Rossland, and yet none of tbem will tell the charactel' which they intend to portray on the ice. What costumes they will wear are secrets, they say, which even a woman can keep. Judging from tbe bustle of preparation on the part of so many,the mas querade will be even more brilliant on this occasion than ever before, and the onlookers will witness a dazzling scene when the merrymakers bave all assembled on the glittering ice. C. B. Winter has consented to act as make-up man for a number of his friends, and as he is a past master of the art, his work will add considerably to the eclat ol the occosion. First and second prizes will be offered for the following: Lady's costume, gentleman's costume, girl's costume, boy's costume, lady and gentleman in fancy costume together, and there will he some "specials.''—Rossland Miner. Card of Thanks We desire to express our sincere appreciation of and heartfelt thanks for the sympathy and kindness displayed by friends, and especially in the congregation of Knox church and the order of thc Knights of Pythias, in connection with our brother's recent illness and death.

Wikstrorn arrived in the last Friday from Spokane, and on Saturday they went up to Bannock and iuspected the Little Bertha mine, in which Dr. Appleton has recently become quite heavily interested financially. The doctor, on his return, expressed hinrself as highly satisfied with the mine as a high grade proposition. The trip to the property was made with a view of perfecting arrangements for the immediate installation of exterrsive mining machinery, which oan no* be hauled to the mine over the Kettle Valley line. It is the intention of the new owners to develop the Little Bertha as rapidly as possible from now on,and the company will expend $10,000 on work and improvements before the 1st of July. It is averted that the first machinery will arrive at the mine inside of forty days. : ;,_ 4»:.*^f£ A special general meeting of the Royal Victoria Gold Mining company was held in Greeuwood last Monday for the purpose of considering the bonding of the Golden Eagle to J.

Wm. Diamond was found dead in his cabin on the Diamond fraction mineral claim, near Greenwood, last Sunday. Deceased was 65 years old, and in 1874 he was a member of the mounted police sent into Alberta. He had lived about ten years in Greenwood and was the principal owner in' the Diamond fraction.

The Greenwood Dramatic society presented "Confusion" to a small audience at the Grand Forks opera honso last Saturday night. Those who witnessed the performance say it was medium. E. Miller and D. McPhee left for a business trip to the coast cities the latter part of last week. The report that Mr. Miller had been taken suddenly ill at Everett, and was taken to a hospital, lacks confirmation. Some sny it was 12° below at 8 o'clock this morning, while others maintain that it was only 8° below at 12 last night. It is reported thnt C. J McArthur has forty-seven men working in the neighborhood of Greenwood getting out ties, poles and eordwood. He is delivering 500 ties daily to the C. P. R., nnd shipping poles to Spoknne for the Oregon Pole company. Frank McFarlatie is reported to he making money trapping martens on thc North Fork of Kettle river. The skins arc worth from $25 to $40 in Spokane. It is estimated that there nre about 70 men getting out ties in the neighborhood of Fisherman crock. It is said that a good tiernakcr earns $5 a day, out of which he pays $1 per day lor hoard. J. A. Macdonald, leader of the opposition in the local house, on Wednesday made a speech on the Asiatic question, in whicb be denounced as flagrant the attempt of the Conservatives to fasten the blame of thc Japanese influx on the Ottawa government. He declared both parties were acquiescent in the treaty legislation and equally to blame, nnd thnt ns Jnpnn is now a first clnss power, tbe course now suggested was the most statesmanlike that could he followed. He declared the bill before the house, as drawn, did not exclude Chinese or Japanese. That had been dealt with by the legislation of tbe parliament of Canada. The provinces were only given power under the British North America act to legislate so as not to interfere with any act of the Dominion parliament. He then dealt with the Hindu part of the question separately, declaring that even against fellow British subjects the people of the provinces must he protected if necessary. He concluded by announcing his support of the bill and calling upon the Conservative government to insist on provincial rights and require the assent from the lieutenant governoj, who, he declared, waB no more under the control of Ottawa as a Dominion official than the judges whom the Dominion appointed. CITY NEWS E. Jacobs, editor of the British Columbia Mining Record, Victoria, Bpent a couple of days in the city week. Mr. Jacobs is on bis annual tour to the mining districts of the interior. A report is again in circulation to the effect thnt it is proposed to run a tunnel from Greenwood nnd Phoenix, tupping the leads between the two towns and getting 2100 feet below Phoenix. The tunnel would be a little over three miles in length and cost three millions of dollars. Chicago capitalists are said to be interested in thc project, and have already elected a president for the preliminary company, nnd a representative will soon he in Greenwood to look over the ground. Many of this kind of tunnels are now in use in England and the United States. A late issue of the Park River, N. D., Republican contains the announcement of the death of Charles K. Honey, son of W, F. Honey, formerly interested in thc "Winnipeg mine. Many of those who were in Wellington camp at the time the Winnipeg was being developed will remember deceased, a bright lad who thoroughly enjoyed his holidays roughing it in tne mountains, and wbo wns the pet of every man in the camp.

E. McAl- lis'er, of the Hritish Columbia Copper company, spoke generally of the opening of the smelter, it gives the views Mr. McAllister has expressed riglit ailing, only indicating a more hopeful feeling. It seems to be the opinion of the company that good feel ing between the men and tbe coinpiiiiy is an essential to the starting up of the smelter. The manager thought that the price of coke would be ar ranged satisfi o ir.ly by the time operations would be resumed. Tbe copper market is tightening steadily. But the company would not resume until all the conditions were propitious. The margin at present in handling low grade ores was too close to permit of anything but the har- munious working together of all interests of whatsoever kind in order to make a profit.. Want Sand The Columbia Steel Works of Port land lias offered a prize of $100 hi the discoverer of a deposit of white silica sand, and agrees to take 100 tons of the sand each month at $U per ton. Silica sand is necessary in the manufacture of steel, it is at present a crying need in the steel industry on the Pacific coast. The steel working plants of Portland are importing their silica sand from Minnesota at heavy expense for transportation. The needed sand is usually of a color almost clear white. It must meet certain requirements. The exact wording of the Columbia Steel Works offer is as follows: "We willl take 100 tonseach month ol' silica sand, 98 per cent pure silica and free from iron oxides, delivered at Portland at not to exceed $6 per ton, and we will pay $100 in cash to the discoverer." Frequently it has been reported that discoveries of pure silica sand bad been .made in Oregon, but thus far there was invariably something lacing in quality or quantity. The demand is wide and very heavy. It embraces every iron work ing industry on the Pacific coast, and is constantly growing greater.

RELIABLE DATA Absolutely Correct Figures Concerning Fruit Culture in This Valley Land Ready for Planting Can Yet. Be Obtained at Reasonable Prices thing is certain.thatan unusual number of prospective purchasers of orchard lands are making inquiries for suitable locations in the Kettle River valley, The fact that fine orchard land can be got now in the valley at figures ranging from $70 to $100 per acse for unimproved land, while the same kind ot land in the Nelson and Okanagan districts sell readily at 8300 per acre, is having its effect on the general public. Many of the inquiries come from Manitoba, while some come from as far as Nova Scotia. Realizing that there will be a big rush out here to select the best locations for fruit The Kettle River Valley, in the farms when once thc spring opens, centre of which is located the city i these people want to make tbeir se- of Grand Forks, contains over 10,000 lections while the snow is still on acres of agricultural land, of which the ground the greater part is excellent fruit land. The valley is well supplied with water, as the Kettle 'liver flows through it, and several smaller Rossland Winter Carnival The first event of the Rossland winter carnival, which opens next streams empty into the river at or j Tuesday, will be the grand skating near this point. This valley is just masquerade carnival. This annual coming into prominence ng a fruit growing district, and this year it outstripped all competitors by the superior quality of tbe fruit grown here, having won cups, medals and prizes, both in this country and at the London Fruit Exhibit. Orand Forks bas the best school, church and railway facilities of any city in the interior of British Col- . umbia, and has a climate that can scarcely be surpassed on the continent, for homes, and is admirably adapted for fruit g'owing. Late, or summer frosts, seldom or never do any damage, especially to the staple fruits. It.is difficult to estimate the returns from a fully developed orchard, as very few of the orchards here have attained lull production. There are several 100-acre tracts now in fruit, mostly young trees. Mr. Honsberger, orcbardist, haB eight acres of prunes, the oldest in the valley, which yielded him this year 8350 per acre clear of all expense. Mr. M. Burrell, nurseryman, has half an acre of pears from which he sold **t400 worth of pears this year, clear of expense. Apples, the staple fruit for shipping, grow to perfection, and although tbey do not yield such great profits as prunes, piuiiis, pears, cherries, strawberries, etc., they arc produced with much less'ex pens.,after the trees come to hi-iiiing.

The doctor, on bis return, expressed himself as highly satisfied with the mine as a high grade proposition. Tbe trip to the property was made with a view of perfecting arrangements for the immediate installation of extensive mining machinery, which can no at be hauled to the mine over the Kettle Valley line. It is the intention of the new owners to develop tbe Little, Bertha as rapidly as possible from now on,and the eompany will expend 810,000 on work and improvements before the 1st of July. It is asserted that the first machinery will arrive at the mine inside of forty days.

A meeting of the Kettle River Game and Fish Protection association will be held in Greenwood next Tuesday evening, February 4th. Wm. Diamond was found dead in his cabin on the Diamond fraction mineral claim, near Greenwood, last Sunday. Deceased was 65 years old, and in 1874 he was a member of the mounted police sent into Alberta. He had lived about ten years in Greenwood and was the principal owner in' the Diamond fraction. He left a will, witti'Dr. Spankie as executor, bequeathing his property to two nieces in Ireland.

Macdonald, leader of the opposition in the local house, on Wednesday made a speech on the Asiatic question, in which he denounced as flagrant the attempt of the Conservatives to fasten the hlam.e of the Japanese influx on thc Ottawa government. He declared both parties were acquiescent in the treaty legislation and equally to blame, and that as Japan is now a first class power, the course now suggested was the most statesmanlike that could be followed. He declared the bill before the house, as drawn, did not exclude Chinese or Japanese. That had been dealt with by the legislation of the parliament of Canada. The provinces were only given power under the British North America act to legislate so as not to interfere with any act of the Dominion parliament. He then dealt with the Hindu part of the question separately, declaring that even against fellow British subjects the people of the provinces must be protected if necessary. He concluded by announcing his support of the bill and calling upon the Conservative government to insist on provincial rights and require the assent from the lieutenant governoj, who, he declared, was no more under the control of Ottawa as a Dominion official than the judges whom the Dominion appointed.

Rogers & Grilley The Mason City (Iowa) Globe- Gazette has the following lo say of Rogers and Grilley, who appear at the opera house on Tuesday evening, February +th, under the auspices of the Grand Forks 20,000 club: "One of the best entertainments ever given in any of the star courses of the city was enjoyed at the Congregational church last evening hy a large audience of delighted people. Rogers and Grilley proved themselves artists of the first order, and their program was one of classics, as they advertised. Rogers has a harp that would push any of Tarn's halls orchestra off the platform, and he handles it with a masterly touch as well as good judgment and intelligent interpretation. He combines intellectuality with bis work, and thus is able to not only please and charm the diversified tastes of the Lyceum audience in his own selections, hut he subjects his skill and personality to Mr. Grilley's work also, as an ideal accompanist does to tbe solo voice or instrument. Mr. Rogers' harp is a rare product of the skilled harp mechanic, and built with especially long Btrings, so that he is able to do the etudes and more serious numbers with as intelligent interpretation as a pianist. Along with this he plays the whole gamut of the musical'emo- tions. When he has finished, there is little to be desired and a volume to be written in the tbank book of thc average auditor. Mr. Grilley as a humorist and reciter is just as classic in his work. His cyclone of humor was just as artistic in its way as the touches of pathos were delicious. Like Ihe harpist's work, whatever he did was marked with a linisb Unit proved the real artist. '1 be combination of the two specialists, whioh, before bearing, one would wager to bea failure, proved to bo so perfectly interwoven that every part fit as naturally as if il had been burn instead of having been designed and worked out. Grilley looks some like Eugene Field, of blessed mem ory; and Field has no better interpreter. His stories were guod, well told and never overdone, and bis at- diencecomplimented bim by taking them with the quickest appreciation, whether the humor was broad or barely suggested. The whole entertainment was restful as well as ex- hilerating. Tbe audience would vole unanimously for a return engagement by the same combination next year. One of tbe best features ol this combination is that they aie originators and not imitators. They have composed the words and music of some of the most popular skits on the vaudeville stage today. 'The Colored Lochinvar,' which was given bo well by Mr. Grilley, and formerly by Miss Ridgeway as one of her best hits, is one of their own- compositions, as well as 'My Lady Marionette,' which Mr. Grilley gave with success. One of the best things in his repertoire is 'Good Evenin,' Mis- tah Moon,' which was not given. Another is, 'Everything Reminds ISun Job offloe' Me So of Chicken.'

RANDOM REMARKS When a tailor thinks a customer has done him he duns him. One never hears of a clam being criticised for talking too much. Some men don't seem to care what kind of a temptation they bite on. The difference between a vat and some men is that the vat is not a tank. We ure all worshipers of idols. Lucky are we if ours be uplifting. Sometimes a self-made man would not suit anybody bui the man himself. The pen and the sword are all right, but the rolling pin is pretty good in its class.

A Kicker Defined The following is the latest definition of a kioker: There is a vast difference between the kicker and the knocker, and they should not be confounded. One serves a useful purpose and the other is the bane of everybody's life. The kicker is a man with tt good liver, although not always, it may be, with good judgment. The knocker is a man with a bad liver and no judgment at all. The kicker wants to see things right, and kicks when they are wrong; the knocker wonld be dissatisfied if he had nothing to kick about. If a kicker goes to his room in a hotel and finds no soap, he calls a boy and makes a kick, and gets it; if a knocker finds no soap he bathes without it, and then tells it over the country that the people of that city don't use soap. The kicker will tell you when you displease him; the knocker will tell somebody else. If the ollicers do not suit, the kicker he tells them wherein they are weak; the knocker will go to another town and tell the people there how he would run things I if he were iu power. The kicker thinks the town he lives in is the best 1 in the world, the knocker declares it's the worst. Knocking hurts; kicking | helps. Everybody despises the knock- I er; thinking men appreciate the kicker and like to get in his wake, because they know ho is not going to be imposed upon; the knocker encumbers the path, but the kicker kicks aside the bushes and stones for the next person passing. ing will be hold at Charlestown, W.

In about a month's time thoy will be preparing to go in again to their prospect before tho ice breaks. J. E. McAllister, manager of the British Columbin Copper coin puny, left last Fr day for New York. The shareholders of the company have been notified that the annual meet- A. B. W. Hodges, local manager ofthe Granby Consolidated, spent a dny at the Boundary Falls smelter last week. A story was published in a Spokane pap«r lust week to the effect tbat Oriinbv engineers arc examining the properties of the Dominion and British Columbia Copper companies, presumably with a view of a consolidation of the three interests. Whether there is any foundation to the story or not, is likely to remain an unsolved mystery for some time to con." W. C. Thomas, mm nu r of the Dominion Copper com pirn.. has not yet heard \\yhpii the mines of the company will reopen, but is daily expecting instructions.
