K. C Manly’s hall came floating shrieks of fiendish laughter and sounds of diabolical revelry. As the wierd noises were wafted abroad on the breezes children shifted uneasily in their sleep and careworn husbands Iqoked eagerly at the clock ancf anon cooed soothing to the crying cherub, as they paced the cold floor in their Dare feet and swore softly to themselves.Meanwhile, up in Manly’s hall were gathered together one of the most motley collections of mis-shapen highwaymen ever concentrated under one roof. No sound escaped their lips, exepting now and again a burst of demonical laughter, all conversation was carried on by means of signs and nods and each wore the brand of their nefarious occupation—a mask.The lights gleamed brightly and sweet music filled the hall as the grotesque figures threaded the mazes of the 4ance and the throng of spectators who lined the walls looked on in consternation as dainty flower girls flirted wi:h fat school trustees, chambermaids and pretty typewriters played havoc with the hearts of clowns and gallant cowboys, Weary Waggles lovjngly requested ten pents worth of kind assistance, two-faced men talked Chinook with Lone Ranch Kate, Uncle Sara made violent love to Two Little Girls in Blue, and “coon” dudes kissed staifl married women and pretty girls right before the eyes of jealous husbands and lovers There was A Hot Time in Old Town” and “Razors a Flyin' in de Air,” until eleven o’clock; when masks were dropped, tho mystery was cleared up, tongues were loosened and joy again reigned supreme. Then the crowd of spectators came down from the chairs and benches where they had taken refuge and pined in the dance until an early hour this morning, wbon the merry crowd broke up and the masquerade for the benefit of the Ladies Aid was a fbing of the past.Much origirality was shown in the preparation of the costumes qnd inany would have done credit to a city many times the sue of Grand Forks. Perhaps the best character, as to make up and manner in which it was sustained, was Lone Ranch Kate, as impersonated by Miss Josie Broten.A large number attended from the surrounding tows, among whom we noticed:Mr. and Miss Covert, Grand Prairie; Miss Elsie McLaren, Oarson; Mjss Meta kelson. Rubs H ill and Earl McCarter, Nelson!

Several new members were admittec).After considerable discussion it was decided to change the name of the society to The Associated Charities as the idea seemed to prevail among those outside the organization that the Ladies1 Aid was connected with the chqrch, while in reality it is purely undenomination »1 and owes allegiance to no particular church, its obj „ct being the promotion of sociability and the assistance of any who may bo in need.A number of other matters were taken up and discussed, among them being another social and the establishment of a library, but no action was taken,everything being postponed until the meeting to bp peld next Wednesday afternoon at the home of the president, Mrs. Wm.

The only object we can see in putting in circulation a report of this character was pure cusgedness, and for no other reason than to jceep people away from the masquerade ball given by the Ladies’ Aid Society last evening.Geo. H. Martin, auditor qf the Spokane Falls Northern railway and C. G. Dixon, general agent of the Great Northern railway, Spokane, Wash , arrived in the city yesterday afternoon from Greenwood. Messrs.

Srqith arrive 1 in the city last Sunday afternooq and left via Monday morning's stage for Spokane. Mr. Smith went as far as Camp McKinney in the interest of the Kettle River Railway.

First party consisted of two iqen with their grub-stake on a band sled, vyhjle the second was a man with bis outfit strapped on his back, and tho third a small boy accompanied by an older companion. These parties were seen er.route for Klondike on Friday last, leaving Grand Forks shortly afterCol. Topping, of Trail, arrived from Greenwood Thursday afternoon, having come in via Vernon.Mr. Topping is making a tour of the territory between Trail and Vernon in the interest of Mr. Heinze. Meetings were held at Vernon, Fairview, Rock Creek, Midway and Greenwood.Mr. Topping succeeded in getting a halt hearted indorsement at tbo first named places, but at Greenwood he seems to have run up agaiust a stone wall as the following dodger would indicate:PUBLIC MEETING.Col. Topping, of Trail, is now in the district, asking for signers to a petition in favor of the Columbia Western Railway. A pqblic meeting of the residents of Boundary Creek district will be held in Rendell Co.’b hall, Greenwood, on Wednesday, Jan. 26th for the purpose of discussing railway matters. Col. Topping is invited to be present.Sign no petition until after the public meeting. ,From those present it is learned that this meeting was largely attended and jf ever a man got a scorching it was F. August Heinze.Mr. Duncan Ross, editor of the Boundary Creek Times, in an able manner, gave a biographical sketch of Heinze since his advent into B C.; showing how he at first secured from the provincial government a charter for his “bob tail’’ line from Trail to Penticton, which he was more than anxious to build in order to secure the ore of the Boundary creek district for his smelter at Trail. This charter was followed by a lane] grant and a cash bonus of a mile. Notsatisfied with this magnificent generosity on the part of the provincial government, he now has the gall to come before {he people for their endorsation, with a petition urging tho dominion government to grant this “wolf in sheep’s clpthirg” a cash bonus of $8,000 a mile. It was clearly demonstrated that the only thing that Heinze was alter, was a charter with trimmings, that he can sell at good round figure to the C. P. R , or some other company that really wants to build through the district. As a result of this meeting Mr. Topping failed to secure the endorsement of tho city of Greenwood.Jn Qrand Forks the Colonel's reception waa of a Klondike order and if he secured any signatures to his petition they were few and far between. Mr. T. was given strictly to understand that the citizens of Grand Forks were not in sympathy with any “franchis grabbers and if F. August Heinze wanted to secure the endorsement of the peo pie of this vicinity he could get it on one condition only, namely: “To commence actual construction on his line at once.An attempt was made to railroad a resolution through the city council, but proved a failure, and after the meoting of that body on Friday, Mr. T, left for Cascade City, where he expected to do business with any suckers he might find in that neighborhood.week’s trade wonderfully. There were more applicants for situations on the survey than the company could find room for. It is expected that from sixty to eightv men will be at work this comin? week, divided up into crews between Robson and Penticton.Although tbeia is a rumor afloat to the effect that jhe Canadian Pacific Railway survey will run north of Christina lake and cut off the “naughty town of Grand Forks and ambitious Cascade City, it is probably without any foundation whatever. It has been ascertained that a route further north than that surveyed by He nze is feasible, but it is hardly probable that any railway going to Penticton would even consider the idea of shunning the valley of McCrea creek, along which lies ih it phenomenally rich mineral district known as the Burnt Basin, or Christina lake, with i s promising surroundings ar.d Cascade City’s great water power.It presumed that the Canadian Pacific Railway surveyors uriij deviate but little from the route surveyed by Heinze’s engineers, and their policy of going ahead with the work at this season of the year would seem to indicate that the railway cards have been shuffled of late and that th re is to be a new deal. It is possible that neither Mr. Heinze nor the Canadian Pacific Railway will hold four acres, and inthai casothere may be somegreat bluffing.—RosalandTimes.8KA6UAYInteresting LetterPlace.FromPROVISIONS ARE CHEAPAnd Aimost Everything Seattle Prices With Freight Added.SellstheatAlbertatfor aa.6eFurniture for thea n.-j h prrill'J I lu J U wV.number of people.

C.Mr. Hein/e has been in the city for two days conferring with Sir William Van Horne, ana as a result of their meeting the Heinze line will pass into tfie hands of the Canadian Pacific railway, as will also the smolter at Trail.It is understood that the Canadian Pacific railway wili take possession at once.This is the connecting link of the Spokane Falls Northern and Crow’s Nest Pass roads. It will make it possible eyeu now to ship goods by the Canadian Pacific to Arrowhead, thence down the Arrow lakes on cars, over the Heinze roads and into Spokane—Spokesman-Rcview.Alex Shannon, a well Known prospector of this place, is in receipt of a letter from his friend Fred S. Baldie, dated at Skaguay, Alaska, Nov. 12, iSlt;;7, which gives an intereit ng description of that place.Mr. Baldie says the town is situated on a le\ el plain about one and one fourth miles wide at the mouth of the Skaguay river and tunning up the river about a mile and three-quarters, where it tape c to a point. It is surveyed into lots 50 by 100 feet which sell from $30 to $400 orTv 'T_‘PUSHING THE WORK.WANT CORBIN’S ROAD.Pipe Being Laid For the City Waterworksas Fast as Possible.The work of laying the pipes for the water system is progressing rapidly under the supervision of Mr. Geo. Chappie who expects to have the work of laying pipe completed by the middle of next week.A four-inch pipe has been run across the rivor and a hydrant put in near Mr. Manly’s residence. A cut-olf valve has been placed on this side of the river so that in the event of an accident occurring to the pipe on account of high water, it can be shut off so the balance ol the city will not be affected by the breakage.According to the changes ordered by the council, instead of running the main to the school house, on the first bench, which was the intention at first, u four-inch pip-* has been laid up Main to Fourth street where it will connect with the line of pipe at the wedge, then to Bridge street qndieast on that street Riverside making U a continuous circulation, there being no dead ends in the system. The system has been so arranged that in two minutes time the pump qt the pumping station will have a direct connection with the mains, thus making it into a Holley system.The pump and boiler for the water system is now on the way from London, Ont., and it is is expected to reach Marcus within the next ten days. The completed plant for tbq lighting system loft San Francisco some ten days ago, andis due at Marcus any time now.Under the new arrangement there will be fifteen fire hydrants and all parts of the city will havo ample fire protection,Mr. Chappie, who has charge of put ting in the water svstem, expects to open a plumbing establishment here and thqse who pontemplatg having watermore according to the location. There are three docks built or building and tbo largest ocean steamers run right up to them, Dyea is up and across the bay in plain sight. It looks to be about t.vo milos distant, but is five.The weather is splendid, there having been only one frost at the date of Mr. B’b letter.A tramway is being built over the mountains from there and a wagon road has also been started, The Skaguay trail also starts from that point. It is about four miles from town to where the dead horses begin and the further up one goes tho more numerous they be come.Mr. Baldie thinks the trail would have been all right for 500 pack animals in the hands of people who understood the packing business and farcing for animals; but there were over 3000 put on, 80 per cent of which were in the hands of people who had never even seen a horse packed and many died the first day out.Not many people are going over now but the rush will begin in February, as socn as the snow is frozen hard. Tne largest number are going by way of Dyea as it is a shorter trail but 200 feethigher.Mr. Baldie says that Skaguay is the best place for a town in Alaska. The river runs close to the bluff so the fiat on which the town is built is not cut up. The ground is gravel at the lower end of the town, which is covered by a sandy sediment to a depth of two foer. There is no soft quagmire such as there is at Juneau, Wrangle and most of the other places in that seciion. All around the town is a good grow h cf spruce and cottonwood limber, the largest trees being about two feet through. Lumber is $25 per thousand feet, plained and matched lumber $30 a thousand.Provisions are as cheap or cheaper than here, flour $1.75 per sack, bacon 18c a pound and everything else but yery little higher than in Seattle. There is plenty of work and wages range from $2.50 a day and board yourself to 85 a day and board. On the summit of Dyea trail a cable road is being put in and 810 a day is being paid for work on it bat it is so stormy there that few care to work at it.According to Mr. Baldie $100 will take a man through from Spokane, the fare on the boat being S40 for cabin and $25 for steerage passengers. He advises bringing nothing not absolutely necessary and buying the bulk of supplies in Sk’.guay as one can tell much better wha: will be needed there than here and the prices are the same with freight added.Prospector’sLivery Feedstable;Riverside Av., Grand Forks, B.C.Saddle and Pack Horses a Specialty,We ure nlm 1’rojirlotorn * if t lieI'ii mu 11 i;cts taken to all Points in British Columbia arnj on the Reservation at Iteu-so'iiiMe Gives uu a call and get our Fri' ea We will use you right.PARKLk DEEREECE.£5 Grand Forks and Greenwood^ Daily Stage Line.I ROUGH|DRESSEDA A to to to to to to to to to to toLUMBER,All Kinds ofHouse Finish.II Sash and Factory,totototoStore Fronts a Specialty,I Furniture laie to Order, f Plain andSaloon and Store Fixtures.vMv!/\Uiyviz\tv!/vl/\t/\!/0/v‘iV\:\y\iit/sjit/it/\tvizxtzIit/lt;i\t/ viz it/ \v \t/T.

This road would first reach the Cana dian boundary at Cascade City. Mass meetings have been held at Cascade City, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Anaconda, Midway and other points, and the roposed railway was in oyery instance eartily endorsed. Mr. Corbin asks no subsidy and no land grant. All he wants is a charter, and no stone will be left unturned by the people of the Boundary people in their efforts to aitj him Should the charter be refused we would feel as if the lastjslraw of hope had been lost. We have no ill-will toward the Canadian Pacific Railway people, and earnestly hope that they may be able to get a sufficient subsidy to encourage them in going ahead with their proposed road trow Robson. There is plenty of room and business for two roads, and of course competition would be a boon to the district. The country is in perfect condition now to receive railways. At Grand Forks we will have a smelter running next spring, strongly backed by English capital, and there will be other smelters started throughout the districtjust as soon as a railwaybecomsafealitv.All week long the surveyors in the employ of the Canadian Pacific Railway company have been busy getting their outfits ready and shipped to the different headquarters along the line of their proposed survey, between Arrow lake and Penticton!

Brown, a well knownmining man, trapper and hunter of thissection, said:“I have been over the route as far as the famous Cariboo country ar.d it presents no great difficulties for either men or pack animals. I have no desire whatever to go to Klondike but if I were going I should certainly take the Overland route; starting from Grand Forks I would go to Penticton, a distance of ico miles, from there to Vernon, either by boat or trail fio miies, then 100 miles to Kamloops, 30 miles to Ashcroft and 250 miles via the old Cariboo wagon road to Barkersville in the Cariboo gold fields.“That is as far as I have been oyer the route but so far it is through a great mining country, both placer and quar.z, all the way. There is abundant feed water and fuel and no mountain passes of any jireat difficulty. There is 100111 in the country between here and there for thousands of prospecto-s and there are any number of properties which only need capital to make them paying mincfl.“Personally, however, I believe there is more wealth right here in the Boundary and Kottle Kiver country than in a dozen such places as the Klondykc; and it is to be obtained without even one fourth the risk Incurred in going there. I would advise no one to go to Klondyke until after they have thoroughly prospected this section.Will Head the List.The opening of the Miners’ Home last evening, under the n^w management was a puccess in every respect.

The bar is under the efficient mnnagememt of Mr. Geo. Seiffertan ex- I perienced mixologist from bpokanc, who makes a specialty ol serving mixed drinks in the most improved style known to the art.
