JUVENILE BOSTONIANS

The public should not lose sight Of
the fact that the Juvenile BOstOnians
appear at Sigrist hail. in Orovllle, on
next Friday evening, May 5, under the
auspices of the local odd Fellows. This
is the largest and altogether the best
travelling company that has ever toured
the smaller towns, and the house should
be crowded to show that the people
appreciate frs-class entertainments.
and thus encourage others of the same
high standard to include Oroville in
their circuit. The papers of the entire
country are outspoken in praise of the
troupe, and picking at random from
among the many press notices the
following from the Nelson, b. c., News
is quoted THE Juvenile BostOnians
more than made good last night in
their production of 'Berta's Billions
at the Auditorium. Babe Mason was
the star performer and right charm
ingly did this clever little leading lady
perform her part. Several of the solos
and choruses that make up this musical
sketch were charmingly rendered,
evoking storms of applause and re-
peated encores.'

JOLTEO BY ELECTRICITY
A Surveying Crew BOWED
Over by a Steel Tape
and a Live Wire.

One day last week Engineer Gardi-
ner and his crew of assistants were
treated to jolt of juice of electric vim
tage that shook them up pretty lively,
and threw a scare into them such as
they never experienced in their born
days. That is to say that three of the
four men composing the force were
touched, and the fourth suffered about
as much from fright as the others did
from the kick. Mr.. Gardiner, with
Nathan Reed, Antoine Pignocco and
Steve Knocky as helpers, had been en-
gagged for several days surveying out
the metes and bounds of certain min
ing claims near Nighthawk. AT the
time the accident occurred the men
were stretching the steel tape down
hill and under the line that carries a
heavy voltage from the Similkameen
Falls Power plant to the Ruby mine.
Mr.. Reed had hold of the lower end of
the tape, while the upper end was at
the instrument, where the balance of
the crew were collected. The tape
caught in some obstruction, and in
jerking it loose it sprang upward and
came in contact with the live electric
wire. The contact was for an inhni-
tesimal fraction of a second, but cleo
tricity does not loaf along the route
when called upon to get into action,
and that instantaneous touch was suf1i-
cient to do business. Mr.. Reed was
thrown into a prospect hole, striking
directly on his head among the rocks,
yet strange to say hardly sustained a
scratch from the fall. He only suf-
fered slightly from the shock. Mr.
Gardiner was knocked insensible, but
speedily recovered. The finger and
thumb of his right hand were pain
fully blistered, and blister was burned
on the bottom of his right foot. Strange
to say there were seven holes burned
through the sole of his stocking, and
o:,l..i q 1s'i7 ggleg5s sll,alsn on the foot. Mr.
Pignocco, standing on higher ground,
was picked up and thrown forward
some distance and completely over Mr.,
Gardiner. Mr.. Knocky was not in
touch with the tape, and escaped the
general knock out, but was SO startled
by seeing his companions bowled over
like nine pins from the invisible force
that he was speechless and helpless for
some time. The, transit was so com
pletely wrecked that Mr.. Gardiner had
to send it back east to the factory for
repairs. 1t was a close call, as it is
claimed that upward of $1,000 volts
slide along that power line the tape
tapped, and those who wee touched
can feel thankful they escaped with
such slight injury.

MORE MISERY FOR MoLSON.

For period extending back over
several years the people of Nelson
have been afflicted with town site
squabble that has hung as curse over
the place, clogging material progress,
besides fostering and keeping alive
most bitter personal feeling. The town
grew up on piece of land that j. IL.
Mcdonald claimed as homestead.
4 contest was initiated against the
claim and fought through every de-
partment of the land office, Mr. Nc
Donald finally winning, having his
homestead allowed.
Prior to the filing upon the land and
subsequent thereto numerous buildings
were, and have been, erected on the
land. 1t is understood that after the
entry was granted occupants OF build
ings on the homestead were notified to
move, or vacate, the same. Parties
were slow in submitting TO the man

There was some irritation prevailing
among the crew at McGregor's con-
smuction camp, few miles down the
river, early this week, in which one
of the crowd became somewhat mussed
up. Constable Meyers proceeded to the
scene and gathered in Chas. Gustofson,
who plead guilty before Justice Frasier
and leaked coin to cover fine of $l5
and COSTS to make good for plain as
sault. One case grew out of another,
and by the time the Judge got through
with the charges and counter charges
Tony Boreski contributed $40 and costs
for attempting to provoke an assault,

of which goes to swell the town strong

TOWN SOMEWHAT MOIST
The Voters Render a Verdict
in Favor Of Wetness and
Water Works.

The special election held in Orovile
Monday, at which was submitted to
the voters two important questions,
that of license or no license, and bond
ing for water works or against bond
ing, passed off very quietly on the sur
face. While there may have been no
outward and visible sign of excitement,
no clash of factions, yet there was an
under current of intense feeling, and
both sides worked hard to pull every
vote reachable during the day. This
statement applies only to the single
measure of local option. The opposi-
tion that developed to water works was
on the quiet, .as there were no out
spoken champions for or against. Those
who did vote against bonding are not
opposed TO a general system of water
works owned by the town, but objected
to the plan proposed, feeling prevail
ing that the plans adopted cannot be
installed for the amount to be applied
to that purpose. But the latter pro-
position was lost sight OF in the inter
est taken in the former. There was a
time during the campaign when it was
thought that the followers of local OPP
zion would rally a majority, but from
the returns it is evident that the busi-
ness and conservative element of the
town joined hands to defeat the un-
wise and untimely move.
Out OF registration of some l5C
voters only 125 ballots were cast. This
shortage is accounted for by a number
of residents being out of town. A
crowd collected at the polls during the
count, ond even the most sangune op-
ponents of local option were surprised
at the overwhelming defeat of the
measure. The vote stood 35 against tc
.'S5 for license. The vote on bonding
