A HIGH HANDED PROCEEDING.
Editor Recorp:—We would like to
know what authority the Rossland
postmaster has to cross out any part of
an address on letters and thereby have
it delivered at the general delivery
wicket instead of putting it in the firm’s
box as addressed. For instance, a let-
ter was addressed to one of our clerks in
care of us and instead of putting it in
our box the postmaster had the firm
name oi Weeks, Kennedy & Co. erased
and the letter put in the general deliv-
ery. Now we claim this is a very pen lt
handed proceeding. If we like to allow
our clerks, companies we represent or
clients have their letters addressed to
us, Postmaster Wadds has no right to
alter their address and put it in the
general delivery. If this sort of thing is
yoing to be done it will be the means of
letters being returned as we never ask
at the general delivery, and it was only
his expecting the particular and very
important letter that made him ask at
the general delivery when he did
not find it in our box. Again
this sort of thing may lead
to serious consequences. Supposing
there are two or three pergons of the
“ame name and the postmaster erases
the name of the party it is addressed in
care of, which of the two or three per-
sons would it be delivered to? We ven-
ture tosav the first that asked for it,
and he on opening might find it was
not for him and the rightful owner
would be very much #nnoyed to come
along and find tter opened through
z the naine of the
firm it was addressed in care of. In
conclusion we claim that Mr. Wadds
ted ina very high handed man-
erasing an address in that inan-
All he need have done if he did
ish to put it in our box was to
corner (general delivery.)
en the box is ours and we fail to
he should not put in all letters
to us or in care of us. Thank-
ing yon, Mr. Editor, for inserting this
we are Yours truly,

AIRY SUMMER GOWNS

Cool Costumes Some of Ross-
land’s Citizens Are
Wearing.

The city lay sweltering in a torrid
wave of heat yesterday and the midday
glare was almost fierce enough to cause

-It was the

hottest day of the year. The ther-
mometer registered 90 in the shade, al-
though it did not seem so warm as that |“
because of a refreshing breeze that blew
in gentle puffs from the southward.
It was hot enough’ though to cause
people to complain and hunt around for
shady nooks where they could sip ice
cold lemonade and lick their chops
ever ice cream. There would
have been arush upon the breweries,
but for the fact that the brewers are not
anxious to be fined too often. Probably
the most uncomfortable people in town
were the fat men. It made a person
nervous even to watch one of these fry-
ing in the sun or panting in the shade,
with the great beads of sweat oozing
from his face and trickling in little tor-
rents down his person. The ice water
seemed fairly to hiss and singe as it
went down their parched throats.

Women who bad to be abroad put on
their frailest, flimsiest linen, which
made them look like airy fairy creatures
ready to be blown away by the least

the shady side was lined with people in

ALMOST FRUIT FAMINE.’

The Warm Weather Plays Havoic with
the Local Fruit Market.

The warm weather has played havoic
with the local fruit market. Durihg the
last couple of days it has been unusually
bare and the supply not adequate to the
demand. This is due to the fruit having
spoiled upon the commission men’s
hands. There are but few apples and
pears and are in great demand. Ba-
nanas have been out for some time but
there are a few in the market now.

Peaches and plums command good
prices and are retailing at 10 cents a
pound. Eggsare steady at 25 cents,
but it isexpected the price will drop
when delayed shipments arrive.
Bananas are going at 40 cents per dozen
and apples five cents a pound.

Oranges ure entirely out of the market.
So are water mellons and musk mellons,
although there are plenty of them
around:Spokane. Berries are scarce, a

few yet arriving from Puyallup and
Yakima. Owing to the ecarcity of lem-
ong s they command a raise of $1 in every

“The bareness of the local market is
due mostly to commigsion men of 8
kane, who do not seem to understand
how to properly gauge the Rossland
market. They are invariably slow in
filling prompt C. O. D, orders, that is
causing much dissatisfaction among lo-
cal dealers.

SEARCH FOR TREASURE.

Return from Cocos Island with a Band
of Disappointed Voyagers.

Victoria, B. C., Aug. 16.—The
steamer Aurora, which left here early in
the year with a number of sealing cap-
tains on board tosearch for treasure
alleged to be hidden on Cosmos Island,
returned this morning, the trip having
been a complete failure. Mrs. Brennan,
who believed she could locate the
treasure from directions given by her
husband who claimed to have found the
treagure some years ago, antl- only took
part of it, was deeply disappointed.

C. Harford came up from Cocos
Ieland on the Aurora. He had been on
the island for the Costa Rican

e treasure, but
this seems doubtfal, as the men who
went on the Aurora say that He island
is covered with:the holes dug b;
ure seekers.

Ald. J. B. Johnson received a tele-

exhibition. Ald. Johnson has been
authorized by the city council to take

an active interest in the propowed ex-

ABOUT ASSESSMENTS,

The Court of Revision Will
August 20.

Maj Cooper is still peging away at
the assessinent roll with a persistence
that is rolling the figures into long col-
umns, which when added, will represent
the mystic 7 figures. Delays have been

the ma jor who has tasted the fiery
breath of tne battle field, such annoy-
ances are mere trifles. The assessment
up to date represents in round * figures
$1,440,476, or nearly a million and a
half. These figures are subject to
change, however, according to the pro-
cedure of the city council.

By ahurried asscsament the major
could have completed the roll ere this.
He could have assessed the property
without going to the trouble of securing
the owner’s name. As the property
holds good for the amount, but he
prepared to avoid mistakes and be ab-
solutely sure by assessing tha property
to its individual owner in every in-
stance. By this method there can
positively be no defects in the roll. ‘To
be sure it causes much hard work and
trouble bat it issure. As an instance,
it may be said that he was obliged to
correct over 130 names on assessment
papers ip one batch. This was caused |
by him making out the assessment
papers in the original owners’ names,
which were incorrect as the property
had changed hands.

The railway additions are giving the
most trouble. They contain many
mineral claims and in order to comply
with the law, Victoria has to be com-
municated with to learn which of the
claims have crown grants. This re-
quires a great deal of correspondence
and many delays, Another source of
delay is met wi ain assessing squatters’

Mr. McDonald when seen by a repre-
