GOOD GOODS U2andJ20 Twelfth St. Phone 1181 Phone 931 Returns Home Frank Kelly, of Warrcnton, who was a victim of an accident, at the Kelly Lumber Company's mill, at Warrcnton, last week, has so far re covered as to be able to leave the hospital, and return home. While it will be some time yet before he has completely recovered from his in juries, his anxiety to be at the mills will be relieved, as there is quite an amount of business to be attended to by him. Shops Will Remain- Owing 1 0 an ill-advised statement, from an intangible source, the people of Warrcnton have been upset over a rumor that the railroad company in tends to remove the shops from that place to Vancouver. There is no like lihood of such action being taken, as the company has never had any in-. grades, tendon of ever doing so. A most powerful argument in favor of the sho)s remaining where they arc, is the fact tint when the company acquired from the Warrens, the property, which is a triangular piece with 50!) feet frontage and extending back 18f)0 feet, it was expressly stipu lated that the shops were never to be removed, under penalty of forfeiture. It is very unlikely that the company would relinquish such a valuable piece of property, and those inter ested may rest their souls in peace. The shops will not be removed.
