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.
