Benefits to That Place From The Boundary./ \\ The editor of the Pioneer recently spent a week or ten days in Spokane, returning with his family this week. Visiting Spokane is quite a common thing with residents of the Boundary, now that railway communication is good between the two sections, but possibly every visitor does not take note of some things se.en and heard of on his particular trip. Nearly eighteen years ago the writer saw Spokane for the first time. Then the place had���or claimed���18,000 people, Today its residents claim a population close to 100,000. And this is but a sample of the changes in ihose 18 years. In 1889 Spokane had but one transcontinental railway, the Northern Pacific, and few good hotels. Today it has five transcontinental lines, ;ind one or two more are headiXig that way, with hotels as good as those in any city in the west, without exception. In 1889, Spokane had one horse- car, single track street railway, with three or four miles of track, and no suburban railways whatever. Today it has from 50 to 75 miles of modern electric lines and as much more of suburban lines���all of which are growing remarkably each year. And so in every way Spokane continues to grow. For instance, 'we...are' told that 1,600 persons earn their livelihood in the real estate business���that is they all try to earn it in that manner. The place has everything that modern cities enjoy and has them in large measure, and some that few are blessed with. And yet, with all this growth, its business men will tell you that there is no boom in Spokane. Well, perhaps not, but time will tell. At any rate there is nothing slow about the place, and it forges ahead in countless ways from year-to-year.���- --'���''--~-j--��">���-~ annum or' less, under a. time contract. And the VV. VV. I'. Co. did not make this favorable contract till they thought Mr. Graves might develop his own power in some way, though they believed they had all the available water power near Spokane, and would perpetually have the lighting and power field in that section to themselves. However, they once more reckoned without their host, for Mr. Graves is not the man to buy extensively and do it long if he can manufacture for himself���and that is just what he is doing at this minute. Nine miles below Spokane he bought a long unused water power on the river, and today 450 men. under the ablest engineers, are busy harnessing this gift of nature at a cost of several hundreds of thousands of dollars. Here some 1 2,000 h.p. will be developed. In two or three years Mr. Graves will have his own power and can also sell it as well as lights all over the Inland Empire. Incidentally we met VV. S. Macy, of Phoenix, who is lust taking over the boarding house at the Nine Mile power station of the Inland Empire system, and will hereafter conduct that, as well as his boarding houses at the Granby mines, the Skylark mine, and at the Holden mine in the Lake Chelan country in Washington, Mr. Graves being interested in the latter.

P. Graves has done and is doing in Spokane. Three years ago he secured a franchise for the Spokane Traction Co. to operate a street railway system, that business having been monopolized for many years by the Washington Water Power Co., which company also owns most of the magnificent available power at the falls of the Spokane river in the heart of Spokane. Evidently, the monopoly did not think seriously of Mr. Graves and his plans, but since then they have decidedly changed their minds, for Mr. Graves and associates in his traction enterprises have progressed until it is now a question as to which is the most important in the growth of the city. The graves lines, be it noted,paid expenses from the very start���something that was not expected. Gradually they have covered most of the city. Then they were connected with the Spokane & Coeur d'Alene electric line, which runs 35 miles to beautiful Coeur d'Alene lake. This was a master stroke of itself, but was followed with others. For instance, a beginning was made to connect Spokane with the fertile Pa- louse country south of Spokane, by trolley, and today 50 miles of that line are in operation, with another hundred to be running at no distant date. Today the Washington Water Power Co. is fighting the Graves line at every possible point, when franchises are sought and in many other ways. The big company has also been spurred into giving a vastly improved service on its own lines, and actually tries to accommodate the public���something never heard of till Mr. Gravts came into the street railway field. This in itself was worth while to Spokane people. James H. Kennedy, the genial chief engineer of construction for the Hill railways into and west of the Boundary, was seen, on one of his periodical trips to Ottawa, to meet the railway commission, the members of which must be pretty well acquainted with the big engineer, so' well known all over the Boundary. Among other railway men met were Patrick Welch and Mr. Shields, the Hill railway contractors. Mr. Shields gave us some interesting particulars of the new Portland-Seattle railway, to run almost in an air line from Spokane to Portland, Oregon. We used to think that some railway building stunts were accomplished in the Boundary, but this new Hill line was a revelation. Think of a railway line some 300 miles long to cost about $30,000,000; to cross mountains and rivers and yet to have a maximum grade of only one and three-tenths per cent, per mile; to have two bridges that will cost $4,000,- 000 alone,.aiKllO-tdiacounl-all-,preocnt transcontinental railway lines in operating costs. P. Welch & Co and Porter Bros., who are related and associated in business, have contracts on this line that will cost about $8,000,000 alone. There are now at work something like 7,000 men, 40 steam shovels and 100 small locomotives. Air compressors are being used for power for rock drilling, and millions on millions of yards of rock and earth will be moved. This would certainly seem to discount anything yet attempted in the west in the way of railway constriction. Burns & Jordan, who were located in Phoenix for several months when the Hill line was constructed to Phoenix, have several miles of grade now under way, and are doing well with it. Right here it is worth while noting some other matters. For instance, it was the ore that Mr. Graves and his associates dug out of the mines of Phoenix that enabled him to get ahead in the world through the medium of the Granby Consolidated, and thus to do things worth while in Spokane. Of course, it was not merely the possession of means and the backing of cap italists���something more was needed, and that was executive ability. This ability was evidenced in large degree in the success of the Granby Co., and is yet being shown right there today. But in his extensive Spokane affairs, Mr. Graves has, if possible, shown his ability to meet and overcome some most intricate problems���for he had to hew his way against the bitterest' and strongest competition that could Iu imagined. At present the Graves lines, now known as the Inland Kmpire railway system, buy their electric power from the Washington Water Power Co. at a low figure, said to be $20 per h.p. per While we were in Spokane that town was visited by Savage's Grand English Opera Co., who played " Madam Butterfly" three times. Besides ourselves, about 6,000 other persons witnessed this presentation. It is called a tragic opera, and it certainly lives right up to its name, being most magnificently presented at a cost of some $75,000, it is claimed. About 175 people are with the opera, including 57 in the orchestra, and ten cars are required to transport the company from place to place. That many people would make a respectable audience in Phoenix. But, of course, Phoeniv is still growing, and we can remember the time when 175 made a respectable audience in Spokane. Plans are now being prepared for the enlargement of the smelting works of the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Co., Ltd., at Grand Forks, whereby the treatment of ore at that smelter will be approximately 4,200 tons daily, instead of 3,000, as. at present���when the plant is operated to its maximum capacity. For some months past the work of enlarging the six original furnaces has been in progress, but has been delayed from various causes. However, this work is now well on towards completion and should shortly be finished. On top of this, however, comes the information as above���to the effect that the company has not. yet by any means stopped its enlarging operations, an announcement that will be received with satisfaction by all residents of the Boundary. The plans being drawn include the addition of another water jacket to each of the furnaces in the present battery of eight, and A. B. VV. Hodges, the local manager, intends to have the capacity of 4,200 tons of ore daily available even when one of the blast furnaces happens to be out of commission and temporarily under repairs. One matter only remains to. be settled by the company regarding the proposed additional enlargement, and that is the adequate supply of coke, the supply of recent months having been such an uncertain quantity. This matter has already been taken up with the coal mine operators in the Crow's Nest country, and assurances received that all the coke needed will be forthcoming by the time the enlargements are completed, in the course of ano'her year, probably. Boundary smelter managers, how-, ever, have had some disagreeable experience with the coal and coke dealers in the past, and they feel as though they really should be "sl.own" before further enlargements are undertaken. This process of "showing" is what the Crow's Nest. Pass Coal Co. and others in the same business are now at. It is believed they will be able to supply the much needed coke in increased quantity, when the railways get in better shape and when all likelihood of troubles with their employees is settled (or a series of years to come. The present equipment at the Granby mines is fully able to keep up with an average output of 4,000 tons of ore daily, but with the inauguration of hoisting through the new Victoria shaft of the property, it will be a com- paritively easy matter to supply the ore, even though other outlets were out of commission for a time. In common with all increases of capacity at the Granby smelter, the idea I'oriiuun Brothers are making a good lowing iu the Dynamo claim, east of Greenwood, where they have a two- fuot gold and silver lead. By next Monday the Granby smelter is expected to have six furnaces in operation, coke shipments now coming in more Ireely. Ore shipments have already heen increased. Water is now down to the 340-foot level in the Cariboo mine, Camp Mc- Kinney. ��� G. L. McNicol and A. B. Hood, of the Cariboo-McKinney lessees, visited the mine last Sunday. About 20 cars of high grade ore have been shipped from the Lone Star, under bond to the B.C. Copper Co., to the latter's smelter, and the good work of exploration and, incidentally, shipping, still continues with satisfactory results. About 40 men are at work at the B. C. Copper Co.'s Napoleon mine, near Marcus, under Supt. Harry Johns. The property continues to improve, and bids fair to become one of the most important holdings of the company. The new tramway to the Great Northern railway will greatly facilitate ore shipments. At first but 20,000 volts were turned on to the Boundary circuit from the Bonnington hydro-electrical station on Kootenay river. When the transformers were sufficiently dried out, this was increased last week to 40,000 volts, and in a short time the maximum voltage arranged for in this long distance transmission, 60,000 volts, will be switched in, for the benefit of several Boundary mines and smelters, affording ample power, under all circumstances, for a long time to come. NEW PRESIDENT FORBX. COPPER Colgate Hoyle1 Succeeds L. Underwood. Shares to Be Listed on N. Exchange. Lack of space in this issue prevents extended reference to the real estate and mining stock boomsnow on in Spokane, but our readers can rest assured that these things have not been overlooked in the metropolis of the Inland Empire, and that ah the wildcats are not located in Nevada or British Columbia. The Coeur d'Alene mining district still has a few that are far from being tamed���and as for realty, well, the dealers assert tint it is .noing up in value over each night. And they ought to know. Lord's Day Ac In Effect. Beginning tomorrow, the Lord's Day Act, passed by the Dominion parliament last year, for the better observance of Sunday, will go into effect throughout Canada. Among other things, no newspapers are supposed to be published or sold on Sunday, and no mines and other works, with certain exceptions, are to be operated. One of these exceptions is smelting, which will continue. I he Nelson Daily News announces th.it 11 will appear to- morrow, as usual. Ilo.vevei, 110 American papers are to be brought into Canada on Sunday, according to the act. Prosecutions under the act cannot be made except with the consent of the attorney-general of the particular province. of smelting as much ore as possible in the present works has been kept well in mind, so as not to have the greater expense of enlarged buildings to any greater extent than necessary. In this case the output will be increased 33 per cent wtthout necessitating the erection of any new buildings whatever, it merely amounting to the enlarging of the present blast furnaces. With the new steel buildings recently completed al this plant, the smelter is in the best possible shape to stand a long run at the fullest capacity, as soon as sufficient coke can be had���and the increase here referred to will give the company a largely increased copper production with comparitively small expense for additional installation. When the Granby mines make a steady shipping record ut 4,200 tons of ore each 24 hours, it means that the company will be sending out ore at the rate of more than 1,250,000 tons per annum, and will be producing refined copper at the Kite of some 35,000,000 pounds annually. No Great Danger of a Coal Strike. For some days past there has been apprehension of a strike of the coal miners in the Crow's Ne^t Pass, thereby cutting off coke supplies from Boundary smelters. The present agreement between the United Mine Work ers of America, and the operating coal companies there, expires March 51 st (not March 4th, as published in a mini ber of papers), and the men and employers are getting together to draw up a new agreement. President John Mitchell, of the miners, is exper'nl in Calgary on March 41I1, when tin- en tire matter will he g-ne into ami ar ranged. The likelihood of a strike takim: place is directly denied from I'Ymie, the center of the coal producing dis tnct. When the matter is amicably settled, it will he a source of satis.ac tion to all interested in the allied indus tries. Miners' Union Election Today. The semi-annual election of officers of Phoenix Miners' Union No. 8, VV. F.M., occurs today, and considerable interest is being taken in the choice of officials for the next six months. The nominations jnclude Wm. J. Louttit Hnd-~R.-;-D.^-Mitchell'- for ������-president^;* Walter Morrison and J. C. Halsey for financial-secretary; and Frank Knott and VV. S. Cook for treasurer. A conductor, five trustees, and delegates to the W.F. of M. and the District Association No. 6 conventions will also be ballotted on. Medicos Choose Officers. Last Wednesday evening the Boundary Medical Association met in Phoenix for the annual election of officers, members attending from Greenwood and Grand Forks. The officers chosen for the ensuing year were as follows : President, Dr. G. S. Gordon, of Phoenix ; vice-president, Dr. VV. Truax, of Grand Forks : secretary-treasurer, Dr. W. Howard Dickson, of Phoenix. .1 1 Following the annual meeting of the British Columbia Copper Co., Ltd., which was held some days ago in the east, a meeting of the board of directors was held in New York for organization for the ensuing year. Colgate Hoyt, a prominent New York business man, was elected president, tD succeed F. L. Underwood; F. I,, Sommer was re-elected vice-president, and R. H. Eggleston was re-elected secretary and treasurer. Newman Erb was chosen chairman of the board of directors, and a new vice-presidency was created, B. B. Lawrence, who was recently elected to the directorate, being elevated to that position. An executive committee, a new departure, was made up of the following directors : Edwin Hawley, C. A. Starbuck and B. B. Lawrence. It is announced that, when the additional stock of the company, recently authorized by the directors to the amount of 116,160 shares, has been subscribed for, the proceeds of which will be used for reimbursing; the company's treasury for payments made for the magnificent new .smelting plant and other permanent improvements, application will be made to the New Yoric stock exchange to list the sh ires. Y. Resuscitatlnj tbe Phoenix Brasr Band. Prof Johns, the new band master, is-making good headway in the revivi fication of the Phoenix brass band,and already has a class in training for band work. As musical talent is present in no small degree, there is no reason for not having a first-class brass band in Phoenix, if this talent is developed by proper intsruction and leadership. Mr. I Johns has come here Jto stayjPbringing, *winfTirm"a'family'of seven." He says" that Mrs. Palmer, an accomplished pianist and vocalist,.will arrive here shortly from the east, and "engage in teaching the piano and voice culture. John Mclnnis, M.L.A, left early this week to be present at the opening of the legislative assembly, the initial session of which will be held next week- Friday. Arthur W. Haley, who has been C.P.R. agent in Phoenix for the last two years, has tendered his resignation, to take effect about the 7 th inst. He will be succeeded by George T. Moir, of Sandon. Mr. Haley and wife will move to Coeur d'Alene City, where they have extensive realty interests. *���>.��*^a>*^��^a^a^a��>'b���^*��K���^a^a^*^*���^a^^ 9 BOUNDARY DIVIDENDS. 94ahao%aa*aa\\ +-��-p-*>P-T-a-�� P^+***+*-++BLa*a^aK*a^a.* l^^��il��*j*^��*��*^t**��tr *^^^��5��**����P** AUTHOR SHARES.

There was a great clatter throughout the province last Sunday as the lid went down, but from indications drawn from the attitude of public prosecutors, the creaking of the hinges on these lids as they are gradually reopened, will soon be heard.

The compulsory eight-hour bill being the bete noir to them, and the hope of workingmen, women and children. Ontario is proposing a tax on the products of her mines, but only on profits. As it often happens many mines produce much ore at a loss, but in this province the operators are com pelled to pay a two per cent tax on their entire output, whether they have profited or lost by their operations. The Ontario plan can not be objected to; but to be compelled to pay on the gross output, which has not been profitable, does not seem like a square deal. Are the authorities at Ottawa acting wisely in encouraging more Doukhobors to immigrate into this country ? There is already no end of trouble with those now in the Northwest. At the present time those located near Yorkton, in Saskatchewan, about 200 in number, have refused to pay their taxes, amoun- ing to about $3000, and have been in open rebellion against the local authorities, the mounted police having been! The Post-Intelligencer of Seattle, entertains great respect for the Japanese. and is moved to condemn President Roosevelt for the manner in which he settled the question of admitting Japanese to the public schools of San Francisco. It says that Mayor Schmitz actually buncoed the president into agreeing to exclude Japanese laborers from the United States, as a condition of opening the public schools of San Francisco to Japanese pupils under 16 years of age. Thi P.-I., of course, is looking at the matter from a purely commercial basis. Some people can never see anything from any other standpoint, but it is well that in that country, as well as in this, they are not in the majority. Any class of human beings immigrating to this country who are too clannish, biggoted or ignorant to conform to our social or governmental methods, should be barred from it. j WHAT EDITORS' SAY One of the largest sun-spots that has ever been observed, is now to be seen on the face of that luminary. It is large enough to be detected with the naked eye, if precaution is taken to look through smoked glass. The dimensions of the spot are given as 118,000 miles in length and 30,000 miles in breadth. The earth could be dropped into it without materially altering its appearance. Sun-spots are usually connected with unusual electrical disturbances on the earth. Photographs of them rhow that they are something like vast whirlpools of flaming gas. No satisfactory cause has ever been offered ' for their occurrence.—-Colonist. It is commonly observed that Canadians are long-lived. There are no statistics to prove that they are the longest lived of any race of people, but instances of longevity are so common in this country that it is probably the case that no other nation can show a more telling record. As an example, take the obituary column of the current number of the Dominion Presbyterian.' There are thirteen deaths recorded, seven of them women and six men. Being'.Presbyterian, practically all of them are of Scottish descent, which may or may not account for their longevity. - Every one of the thirteen was over seventy years of age, five of them were over eighty, and five of them over ninety, one being ninety-nine. This, of course, is exceptional even in Canada, yet this is an obituary record taken at random, and it would seem to establish this country as a place where the evening of our days is long.—Ottawa Journal. j B. C MINING A meeting of District Union No. 6 W. F. of M. has been called to meet in Rossland on March 5th. The Slocan Star, a zinc property, has paid over half a million in dividends, and as the tariff lid is off, it may do that again. Ore shipmencs from Rossland last week were : Centre Star, 1,410 tons ; Le Roi, 3,150 tons; Le Roi Two, 510 tons; total for the week, 5,070 tons; for the year. 35, 377 tons. Louie Manfron, an Italian, was killed at the LaPlata mine on Ivokanee creek this week by a premature .explosion. Deceased was a member of Ihe Nelson Miners' union. Two Ore shoots of condiderabie magnitude and of good grade have been located on the 800 foot level of the White Hear, Rossland. The management is much pleased over the finds, and feels confident, that the White Bear has the makings of a valuable mine. Shipments from the Queen Victoria mine, situated near Nelson and owned by 'James Cronin and associates, have been delayed by a series of trivia causes. The upper bunkers are full of ore, and plenty more is already broken down in the mine. Shipments will bejjin soon. W. H. Brandon of Silveitui, princ- pal owner of the Canadian and Adams croups, above Sandon, was in that town Wednesday. He. had just returned from a business trip to New York and other eastern points, and will resume operations on his properties as soon as conditions will permit. Do Not Crowd the System. The first warm days of spring bring with them a desire to get out and enjoy the exhiliratmg air and sunshine. Children that have been housed up all winter are brought out and you wonder where they all came from. The heavy winter clothing is thrown, aside and many shed their flannels. Then a cold wave comes and people say that grip is epidemic. Colds at this season are even more dangerous than in midwinter, as there is much more danger of pneumonia. Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, however, and you will have nothing to fear. It always cures, and we have never known a cold to result in pneumonia when it was used. It is pleasant and safe to take. Children like it. For sale by all druggists. The Pioneer Wonders— What the Lord's Day Act will look like when the courts have had their whirl at its interpretation?

If you use a rubber stamp on your letter heads or envelopes, you will be put down as of the rubber stamp calibre.

We'd charge a little more, of course, just as the merchant must charge more than Cheap John Tim, of Toronto—and its worth a little more.

In the house of commons, nt Ottawa, on Tuesday of last week, metaphorically speaking, a set-to between Senator Fowler and Commoner Duncan Ross occurred, that was anything but becoming cf men holding such exalted positions in the eyes of their constituents as they hoid. To lose your heads and waste the valuable time of the house in Billingsgate arid Kilkenny-cat squabbles of a purely personal chancier is not the purpose lor which you were sent to Ottawa, gentlemen. . Have the decency to desi>i. I >o not disgrace your constituents by such unmanly and un dignified conduct. ���11 The Nelson board of trade met last week and resolved that proposed tinkering with the lead tariff on the part of th:- Ottawa government was,looked upon with great disfavor by its members, and telegraphed their views to parliament, particularly lo the representatives from this province. �������� A few days since a representative in the Washington legislature, Wm. H. Weber, from Walla, was arrested on a charge of insanity. Weber had been suffering with the exciting delusion thai the house is combined against him getting a square deal on any legislation that he may propose. Two weeks ago he became so desperate thai he began carrying a revoiver with the avowed intention of using it if he saw that he was being discriminated against. His brother was sent for and took Weber away for a few days. Last week he was again in his seat and apparently improved, but the consequent excitement soon unsettled his mind again. Many things happen in state and provincial legislatures, nowa-days, liable to " warp" weak minds. ��������� Ralph Smith, member of the Dominion house from Nanaimo, by general political forecast, is slated for the governorship of the Yukon. ����� As time passes, the fact becomes more and more evident that we must roll up the yesterdays and put them and their methods away - with- other things that are done. Steam belongs to the yesterdays, and as quickly as it is practical, the barriers of conservatism are falling away before the immense superiority of electricity. It will not be many years until all our industrial plants and railroads are being run by the greatest of all powers. The manufacturers are not slow in adopting electricity throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion��� for as the electric light demonstrated its superiority over the tallow candle��� so is electric power proving its economy and reliability over steam for all manufacturing purposes. All of which is favorable to maintaining the present price of copper, and very likely to lift it much higher. It is staled that irnckliiyiii;.-, mi die extension of the Kettlo .Valley railway line up the North Kork will begin about the middle of the month. The Lethbridge, Macleod and Calgary division of the C.P.R. will, he taken out of the jurisdiction of Superintendent Nihlock and added to the Crowsnest Pass division under Superintendent Erickson. The G. T. P. has bej.un to organize its western system and one of the official appointments is that of O O. Winter to the leading executive position. Mr. Winter is said to Ik- a man of high ability and extensive experience. At present he is superintendent of.the C,P. R. at Urandoii. , He was formerly in a similar, position at Kbit William. An effort may quite possibly be made by tbe British Columbia Klceirie company to secure control of ihe Iwqtii mall & Nanaimo railway if the search now being made by the company's engineers should result in ihe discovery of an additional waler supply, which would enable the lisquimalt & Nanaimo system to be worked by electric power. The gross earnings of twenty-live railroads for the first week of February were $7,689,521, against $7.21)8,590 for the first week of February, 1906, an increase of $303,931 Thirteen roads show increases and twelve decreases. Since fuly i��t, these roads have earned $277,500,141, an increase of $26,540,750 over' ibe same lime last year. Twenty roads show increases and five decreases.

On Friday of last week the Quebec Daily Telegraph newspaper'office was destroyed by fire, causing a loss estimated at $100,000. The fire, which started in the boiler room, shot up to the top floor so rapidly that the printers had to escape in their shirt sleeves, and were glad to get out that way.' All the English printing incidental to the present session of the Quebec legislature now in session was being done in the Telegraph office, and the loss of this will not only be considerable, but cause confusion in connection with ihe house proceedings as well. Xothing was saved excepting a few office books All the newspaper forms as well as the forms of votes and proceedings of the assembly, and English copies of bills, were lost.

Hon. Mr.' Fulton gave no definite answer to kev. Dr. Koehesler, western secretary of the Alliance, postponing his answer until he had conferred with the other members of the government. When asked what the government was going to do in the matter, the the attorney-general said lie could not say what was to be done. He did not care to express an opin ion respecting it without first consulting Ihe other members of the government. As he understood the act, the attorney-general of each province was required to give his approval to the prosecutions undjr the act before the act became effective. He did not suppose that the attorney-general would be expected to look into eveiy individual prosecution under the act. It would appear from this that Hon. Mr. Fulton would incline to think that the provincial government's action should really be one approving in a general way of prosecutions under the act or refusing to approve of any. In short, it would appear as if the provincial government regards its position as one in which it is called upon to decide whether the act shall come into effect in the province. Under these circumstances, there can be no question that considerable pressure will be brought to bear on the local government by both sides on the question���on the part of the Lord's Day Alliance to have the law enforced, and by other interests which believe the act is ahead of public opinion in the province to have it remain a dead letter. Just what the act will do with the railroads, or what the railroads will do with the act is now a matter of much conjecture among railway men in the west. This act went into ��� effect on March 1, and the higher officials of the various railroads are now giving a good deal of time to consideration of the intricacies of this most impoitant piece of legislation. The act devotes considerable attention to railroads, particularly as regards the working hpurs of trainmen and other employees, and to adhere to it will doubtless need considerable preparation, as well as an incraase in the number of employees. As regards the running of freight trains, certain restrictions are also laid down, which may at first cause a good deal of inconvenience, especially when a heavy traffic movement prevails. With a view to deciding what action is to be taken by the Canadian Pacific railway in regard to the act coming into force, William Whyte, second vice-president, and G. B. Bury, general superintendent, are conferring. Fkbek S TELL FRIENDS / _*- Jt CT-NA '81'OPULA JiJ'J'V Jil IXNO SMALL MEASUJIJC DUE TO THE GKXXliOUM J'llATSE GIVEN IT IIY GRATEFUL PEOPLE.

There are many emulsions of Cocl Liver Oil, all more or less good, no doubt, and all very much alike, tbe principal difference being in the quantity and quality of the oil that enters into their composition, and perhaps something in the method of manufacture. on the other hand, while it is an emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, occupies a place entirely above and beyond the ordinary preparations above referred to. The reason is, that FKRROl. combines with the oil Iron and Phosphorus, which all other emulsions lack, and without which no emulsion is anywhere near perfect. In FERR0L the well-known virtues of Cod Liver Oil as a flesh and weight producer, the unparalleled qualities of Iron as a biood builder and purifier, as well as the undoubted advantages of Phosphorus as a Nerve and Brain tonic, are till not only combined and retained, but wonderfully enhanced by the process of amalgamation.

P After months of delay, Postmaster Matheson has received most of the new fixtures for the postoffice, and is proceeding to make some improvements to his place of business. The subject for Sunday at the Methodist church will be: "A choice that was the measure of a soul," being the third in the series, "Characters that have moulded the centuries." Morrin, Thompson & Co., are expecting to establish a commission house at Regina, Sask., where there is ;in excellent opening for such a concern. Mr. Thompson will likely have chaige. of the business. Joe Heinrich, of Spokane, who successfully threw Everett Baker three times 111 an hour on February 15th, in Greenwood, has arranged to hold a wrestling match at the Phoenix opera house'on Tuesday March 12th, when M. P. Bradley, of the Snowshoe mine, and Harry Quinn, the big cage-tender at Granby mines, will go up against him. Heinrich agrees to throw each man twice in one hour, actual wrestling time. Bradley is the amateur champion of Iowa. The Catholic Ladies' Aid have Offered $25 in gold in prizes to those selling the most tickets for tne Easter Monday Calico ball, to be given April 1st. The ladies'competing are Miss Leita Wallace and Miss Jessie Rankin, and they report good success thus far and an increasing demand for the little pasteboards. I t to to G. W. Rumberger has been absent a couple of weeks, looking after hi' business interests at Regina, Sask., where he is part owner in a large brewery, that is just starting in business. Robert A. Scott, formerly a resident of Phoenix and still a property holder here, was in the city this week for the j fn first time in four years, and remarked /ft on the progress of the place. He is now located in New Westminster, where he had charge of the construction of the new buildings for the B.C. Distiileries Co., Ltd. S. C. Holman, of Spokane, formerly superintendent of the British Columbia Copper Co.'s Mother Lode mine, arrived in the Boundary this week, to attend to the duties of Frederic Keffer, M.E., in looking after the properties of the company while the latter is absent east attending a meeting of the Canadian Institute of Mining Engineers. Mr. Keffer will probably be absent three weeks, and is slated for the presidency of the engineers for the ensuing term. Monday evening the Granby mines office staff assembled at the company's office and presented Dr. R. B. Boucher, who recently resigned as mine physician to take up special studies in Germany, with a fine album of photographic views of the Granby mines and smelter from the earliest days to the present. The work is the production of Charles M. Campbell, the efficicent surveyor at the Granby mines, and makes a souvenir that will doubtless be highly prized by the doctor.

Note.���The Editor does not hold himself persona, ly responsible for the opinions of his correspondents. Editor, Phoenix Pioneer: DearSir,���I know you do not want unnecessary controversy, but, sir, I can not allow Cynicus's letter of last week to go by unchallenged. Neither myself nor those associated with me have any sympathy with the article that appeared in the Methodist Recorder, and as soon as I saw it I wrote a correction to the editor. . No, Cynicus; I do not want undue credit, and I ��� would be sorry indeed to see such a pleasing' victory marred by usurpation of credit that belongs to all who worked so. faithfully towards a desired end. Perhaps, sir, if you had had a little more information you would not have tried to thrust your sarcasm where it 'did not belong. Let me inform you that the article was not sent from Phoenix nor written by a citizen of Phoenix, and when you know that the writer has never been a Lib eral, perhaps the;" Liberal falsehoods" will appear to you rather as virtues. lam glad you wrote in the strain you did, Cynicus, for you show us where you stand, and confirm the impression in our minds who you are, and with this light we will be able to judge any material that emanates from your pen in the future accordingly. I feel assured that all you are working for is to bring about discord in our ranks, if possible, and your latest attempt only serves to show how far you will go if you get the opportunity. Fair and honest criticism I dc not resent, and I know you are fair, for you are anxious to continue paying some of the $6,000 to .the city.���Yours, with out cover of nom-de-plume, C. Wellesley "Whittaker. Marshall���Roslcot Wedding. When James Marshall, proprietor of the Hotel Brooklyn, started for Spokane last week, only his most intimate friends knew that he had been ensnared by cupid and would not return to Phoenix alone. On Thursday, February 2 ist, James Marshall and Effie Rosicot were united in the bonds of matrimony in Spokane, the ceremony being performed by justice Stocker. J. E. W. Thompson was the best man, and a number of Phoenix friends were present to wish the couple all the happiness possible. They left the next day for the coast, where Mr. and Mrs. Marshall are visiting the former's sister at Ladysmith, on ��� Vancouver Island, before returning to Phoenix. "Jimmy" Marshall is one of the old est residents of this camp, having arrived here in 1895, and has made his permanent residence in Phoenix ever since. He was largely interested in mining claims here, his interests in that line s}ill being .valuable, to say nothing of the fine Hotel Brooklyn, to which he devotes his entire time. The bride is also well and favorably known here, having resided in Phoenix for some years. The Pioneer joins their many friends in wishing them a long life of happiness. ���'������������ /is is /ft JUST ARRRIVED A complete, neuortinent. of fancy hand painted china in lieaiilifnl designs. this ih by'far tne lineal, china we have ever liii'l in stock.
