“OUR BOYS.”

Was Succeesfully Rendered Last Even- ing at Rossland Opera House.

“Our Boys” isone of those good old fashioned simple plays which make our blood tingle and which appeal to all our better instincts, The characters have their trials but everything comes out right inthe end. Strange to relate the black visaged villian that is insepar- able from the stage does not make his Sppearance in “Our Boys.” Like a clear mountain brook that ripples, sparkles and dances, past meadow and wood, in sunshine and in shadow, s0 throngh the play runs a health; vein of humor and oer a atinient that is refreshing to say the least. ur Redwood in the part of Talbot Champneys, took off the dude to per- fection and illustrated the fact that even a dude may sometimes have brains, Frank Donavan as Charles Middle- wicks shows plenty of talent in handl- ing a difficult part.

BEGGED FOR MORPHINE,

Piteous Cries of Loui Smith at the Lockup Last Night.

“Ob, give me some morphine! I am dying!’ was the piteous, heart render- ing cry that wailed and moaned through- out the whole of last night at the lockup where Loui Smith, the morphine fiend is being kept in custody until a proper disposition can be made of her case. Few people realize what excrutiating tor- ment the momentary suspension of the drug means to those adicted to the habit. The torment of hadeg in com- parison would be paradise. ~ Some times the poor woman would moan pitifully and then burst out into prailing shrieks which so disturbed Of- ficer Hendry that he dressed and went down town for some drug with which to eviate her ings. The medici would quiet hor fora time but before long she would commence her low moanings again and nearly drive the officers wild.

After joining issues, quarters large enough to ac-omodate the public, the members of the exchange and of the board of trade will be selected. Already the committee has sé¥Veral places in view, but will not choose until several minor matters are arranged. The revision and drafting of by-laws and many~ other things will claim the new order’s atten- tion for some time to come.

BOARD OF TRADE ACTIVE.

Stirring Up the Government On the

Sheep Creek Trail Matter. —

The board of trade is doing everything in its power to show the government the urgent necessity of making an appro- priation as eoon as possible for the building of the trail in the Big Sheep district. There are many rich mines in that locality and the miners can do nothing, practically, until the trail is built. In answer to the letter of inquiry gent to the gold commissioner at Nelson by Secretary Franklin, the following letter was received by him Thursday :

Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20th inst, in regard to opening & trail to the Big Sheep district and the district inter- sected by such trail. In replying, I pre- sume you are referring to the Dewdney trail. Iam now awaiting: instructions from the land and ‘works department a8 to what appropriations are made, and until I receive such, Iam in ignorance asto where the money is to ex-

pended.’ In answer to the above, Secretary ing the gold

THE TRAIL IS OPEN

Betwaen Christina Lake and Rossland —D. Good Retarns.

D. Good is in from Cascade City and says the Dewdney trail is open between Christina Lake and Rossland, and 8 many prospectors are going into the country. The trail being now available the circuitous route Bossburg is no longer necessary. The bridges over Christina and Sheep creeks are completed, which is a decided boon to prospectors, but there is a great outcry as to the bad condition of the trail, which is in many places nearly i ble in

“Jt isto be hoped the government will take immediate action to have the obstructions removed, as the present condition of the trail retards the pro- gress of the district,” said Mr. Guod. e The people have done their share in building the bridges, and the least that can be expected of the government is to keep the trail clear.

A LITTLE CRITICISM. Rossland, ‘May 28. Editor Recorp:—I am a young man just from the East and was raised to go to church instead of saloons. When it was announced that there would be a church concert for young men in Rossland, I said to myself, “Now there is an evening enter- tainment for me,” and I went. As each member of the audience took their seat they were presented with an advertise- ment of a “bargain house.” IT after- wards learned that the little fellow, who gave them out was the ‘‘proprtetor or manager” of the house. It looked to me

they have religion. I know church peo ple are very touchy and do not like to be criticized, but I think if they were criticized a little more it would do them . ‘Things that are done for the rd and to entertain his poople should be worth doing right. Tt is not right to have the collection, the leading feature of an entertainment, ‘As the entertainment proceeded and the house filled up, I devoutely wished i ired +o give my seat be. allowed. to

rink. The other evening I heard*one man ask another to lown and hear the street fakir and the answer was, ‘“‘O that show is too cheap,” which may also be what was the matter with some church entertainments. But in all seriousness, if the young men are to be enticed away from saloons and other un- desirable , the churches should take more time and prepare programs that will not weary and disgust them.

Havoc Among the Raft and Run Boate.

Last Friday was a red-letter day on the river for the raftsmen, says the Trail Creek Miner. In the morning a log raft with about 165,000 feet of logs refused to be snubbed up in the eddy below the slips. Owing to the present height of the water this eddy is to small to be of much utility in snubbing a raft. The raftgmen tried hard to stop their un- wieldly craft as they floated down the river but gave it up at Waneta. When last seen she was passing Northport.

In the afternoon another large raft gave Trail and Commodore Gray the go-by. This time an extra supply of men and tackle were taken aboard and they succeeded in stopping her at the mouth of Beaver creek. .

What might have been a more serious loss, however, was the escape of a barge at Robson on'the same day, which was carrying four | steel.

pes and sta

journey it happened that there were three men aboard. But not being provided with boats or tackle were unable to do more than simply float along. Down- river points were notified by Kobeon to be on the watch and when the barge reached Waterloo she was boarded by Phil Kelley, the ferryman. He had a boatfull of ropes and chains and wit!

the help of the men on board succeeded in making her fast at the mouth of Sul- ivan creek. —

Had it not been secured there it is more than likely that the scow and con- tents would have been lost since there is no other point where she could have been stopped go easily.
