BRITISH COLUMBIA.

1t is expected that the furnaces of the
CRANKY smelter at Grand Forks will
be blown in tomorrow or Friday. The
sampling works commenced operations
yesterday.
1t is authoritatively learned that the
Canadian Pacific smelter at Trail, B.
c., is to be enlarged at once to more
than double it's present capacity, max
ing it able to handle about 1900 tons
of ore per day.
The first shipment of ore from the
lie Roi No. 2 mines was made to the
| Northport smelter last week. 1t con-
sisted of four carloads from the No. 2.
All preparations are being made for
regular shipments from that mine.
| In July the ST. Eugene Consolidated
Mining Company paid out in wages
| $25 400. This is the largest sum ever
paid out by the company in a single
month. In May it's payroll was ST.
900 and in June $21 900. The increas-
ing monthly pay-rolls of this company
are having a telling effect on the town,
which is in healthy and prosperous
condition. Business in all lines is ex-
ceedingly brisk and the hotelmen and
merchants especially are reaping
harvest.
| Contracts have been made between
the Rossland Great Western Mining
company and the Canadian Rand Drill
company for the purchase of a 40-drill
electrically-driven air compressor, to
be delivered within five months, and
with the West Kootenay Power and
Light company for electric power to
operate the machine. The contract for
the electric motor, which will have 800
horse power, will probably be let to-
morrow. The compressor is to be an
exact duplicate of the one just complet-
ed at the Black Bear, but without the
steam cylinder. This machinery will
be installed on the Nickel Plate fiat
between the boiler house and the mine.
1t will be connected with the other two
machines on the Black Bear ground by
pipe lines, so that any or all of the
three can supply power to any of the
British America corporation mines.
When this machine is installed the
nominal capacity of the British Ameri-
ca corporation compressors will be 100
drills, but the actual capacity will be
nearer $50 drills, for in large mines
all the drills are not in operation at
the same time and the number which
can be operated is thus increased in
proportion.

ton of October 8, 1895 at which, after
careful deliberation, was formed the
Ohio Valley Improvement Association.
The methods pursued by the Associa-
tion have been persistent and without
relaxation, but of the simplest, most
straightforward and practical charac-
ter, and the work accomplished has
been most gratifying.
Congress has made liberal appro-
priations for the Ohio and its tribu-
taries, and definite plan for the per-
manent improvement of the river has
been adopted, that of docks and NOV
able dams, providing for six feet OF
water at all seasons of the year, which
means open and uninterrupted navi-
cation.

er or mode of transportation in the
world.
The question naturally arises why,
having such river, we have not seen
active work for years past upon a
well-defined plan for its improvement,
to the end that we may have continu-
Gus navigation? There are many rea-
sons for this neglect of great oppor-
tunity. Among them may be men,
toned:
Want of concert Of action. What
was everybody's business was no
body's business.
No plan, no survey-advocates of
improvement striking blindly in the
dark, and
The people generally thought the
steamboatmen and steamboat owners
should improve the river, forgetting
that those on shore were equally inter-
ested, and, in the case of large enter
prises, more greatly interested than
those engaged in the uphill work of
running boats with out water.
Until 1895 the citizens of the Ohio
Valley seemed not to appreciate its
importance and value to the CONNER
cial industries of the world. Our peo-
pie remained quiet while the owners of
unimportant creeks asked, and often
received, from the Government vast
sums for their Improvement. We were
idle while small seashore and lake
shore cities had magnificent harbors
created for them by Congressional ap-
preparations.
Easy entrance to the markets on the
part of the Ohio Valley is far more i'm
portant to the world than the improve
ment of any harbor, or many harbors,
upon the Atlantic Coast.
MOVEMENT ORIGINATED IN 1895.
The idea of organizing the CONNER
cial forces directly interested in trans
portation in the Ohio Valley had it's
origin in 1895 with the Cincinnati
Freight Bureau, which was the agency
then maintained by the Chamber of
Commerce and other prominent citi-
zens of Cincinnati for the purpose of
dealing in a practical and comprehen-
sive way with transportation prob
lens.
Their efforts resulted in the conven-

GREAT COMMERCIAL FACTOR
Is the Ohio RiVer-AddreSS Of Co., John
|. Vance.

In an address at Cincinnati last
night Col. John l.. Vance, of Gallipolis,
spoke as follows in response to the
toast, 1.-The Ohio River:
You have given me the most i'm
portant subject now before the people
of Cincinnati and the Ohio Valley, be-
cause the Ohio River is the greatest
factor to day in the commerce of the
Ohio Valley, affecting the interests of
more than one-third of the people of
the country and destined in the fu-
ture to influence the trade of the
world.
Without exaggeration it may be
said that the failure to improve this
great waterway has prevented the
growth in poulation and business we
have witnessed in other cities possess
ing water facilities.
The Ohio River is 1000 miles in
length Its tributaries have 2,200
miles of navigable matchmaking
more than three thousand miles of un-
tram melGl, untaXeu anu uHrlNdleu
waterways upon which to float the
products OF fertile soil, of hills and
mountains field with coal and iron
ore, building stone, marble and fire
clay, a world of timber, lime, lakes of
oil and salt water. Upon the banks of
these streams are great manufacturing
plants, the output of which must seek
markets by these waters. With i'm
proved and continuous water transpor-
tation the increase in manufactures
and commerce in general will rival the
wonders wrought by the tabled lamp
of Aladdin.
THE WORLDS GREATEST WATER
HIGHWAY.
II is not surprising, therefore, that
the Ohio is the greatest tonnage pro-
ducing river in the world. Unlike
railroad, you can not parallel 1t.
Not alone does the Ohio originate
and create more tonnage, but this ton
mage can be moved cheaper ca the
wa,c-- - the Ohio than any other riv-
