Perfect weather, without a cloud in the sky, and a carefully prepared program that was carried as passengers, pulled an immense truck carrying a replica of the tramline with buckets and towers, showing the handiwork of a genius in construction. The U w- ited Services Club entered a clever imitation of a "tank," a barricaded dug-out and a squad of service men in uniform, with a pairof"femme de guerre" in attendance. One of the most attractive floats carried Miss Mil- dnd Jancowski, garbed as "Miss Canada" and surrounded by nine little girls representing the nine provinces. Individual mention of all those taking part in the parade would be impossible in the limitations imposed by space available. The Kincolith band, who were in attendance throughout the (r~- V STEWART-HYDER LOCAL NEWS J through with a pep and enthusiasm flitting to the occasion, com-1 -&\ at the athletic park and gave bined to give a day of recreation and pleasure that was a delight to all young souls���there were no old ones. Tlie Native Sons of Canada had advertised for 1000 boosters, and more than that number attended. Thejtown was decorated with a profuseness that far outshone any previous attempts in this line. Maple boughs predominated in the decorations, entwined a classical concert in the business heart of the town in the eveniug, cannot be too highly praised. Their time and tone are perfect and their selections show a discrimination that was most pleasing to lovers of good music. The same may be said of their orchestra, which supplied music for the dance with which the holiday's festivities closed. Field Sports Four teams were entered for the tug-of-war���S. S.

Most of the. citizens were McDonald's "Paddy O'Dowd" awakened at 6 o'clock by 21 dy- second. namite explosions, given as the royal salute, and shaking the town like heavy artillery. The celebration opened with a parade led by Sam Desehamps carrying a large Canadian flag and followed by H. Scovil, president of the local Assembly, Native Sons of Canada, and marshal of the day. Then came the Kincolith Silver band, composed of 25 Indian musicians, and the various floats, decorated cars and calathumpian artists, all evincing painstaking preparation and producing an effect that was not far from bewildering. Following the Mooseheart float, the local Legionaires paraded in white uniforms and purple fezzes. Among the equestriennes Miss Fraser, as a Crusader, Miss Mel- lor as a lady of the Georgian period, and Mrs Stickney, as a cow-girl, attracted special attention, and George Fraser, in an unique red white and blue costume, on a stalwart mount, made an imposing appearance. A large number of Native Sons marched in the parade, and about two dozen boys carrying lacrosse sticks, symbolic of Canada's national game. Among the floats, that entered by the tram crew of the Premier was outstanding. Six magnificent horses, handled by that veteran skinner, Hank Markham, with Frank Frank Fisher, tram superintendent and Ed Fernald, foreman at the lower terminal, A ragged baseball game, that was unique for glaring errors interspersed with brilliant plays, was won by Hyder over Stewart by a score of 23 to 15.

RESUMING WORK ON THE VICTORIA After a long shut-down the Victoria Mines was reopened this week with the letting of two tunnel contracts to H. Horstman of Stewart, who took a small crew of men up to the mine Tuesday morning to start work. These contracts call for the extension of one tunnel 25 feet and the other 75 feet, after which no statement has been made of the intentions. Trail to Dalhousie A good pack trail is being con structed to the Dalhousie property, branching from the Independence trail just after the latter crosses Bear river, and then working up the mountain on an easy grade in a southerly direction. Later on it is the intention to build a bridge some distance south of the present crossing, which will considerably shorten the distance from town. About one half of the distance, which totals two miles, has been completed, which includes the most expensive part of the work. Memorial Services Sunday evening, June 27, the people of Stewart held what has now developed into an annual event, a memorial service at the Cenotaph in memory of those former residents of Stewart who laid down their lives for their country in the Great War. Members of the United Services Club with the Boy Scouts gathered at their club and marched to the service, which was conducted by the Rev. A. W.R, Ashley.

Wild scenes occurring in the House of Commons were unprecedented in the history of the Dominion. Dissolution of Parliament now seems inevitable. VANCOUVER PLANS GREAT EXPOSITION Throughout the Province of British Columbia the great attractions to be presented at the Greater Vancouver Exhibition, August 4 to 14, have created tremendous interest, and the management of the Exhibition Association is making substantial arrangements fer housing the greatest crowd that has ever attended an exhibition on the Pacific slope. H.M, Coldstream Guards Band will be there the first four days. Saturday, Aug. 7th, will be the 40th annual Caledonian games.

Unfortunately, soon after the lecture commenced the electric light system broke down and the lecturer had to proceed using an electric torch on his notes ar.d diagram until lamps were procured. However, the lecture, giving as it did a great deal of information, was much appreciated and was the subject of much comment afterwards.

No Advertising- Accepted for First Page DOMINION DAY YESTERDAY, July 1st, 1926, every city and hamlet throughout the length and breadth of this great land of Canada celebrated Dominion Day, thus commemorating the actual birth of a Nation. It is well that this be done, and more, for it is only by thus keeping alive the great historical events and developments of the past that a people can be consolidated into a nation, united in a pride of raoe and nationality, that establishes their entity, and makes for progress and prosperity. "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said: 'This is my own, my native land?'" July 1st, 1926, Canada as we know it, with its close to ten million people, thousands of miles of railways, great world trade and commerce, steamship services, prominent position in the conferences of nations, records to be proud of, is in reality only 59 years old. In March, 1867, the Government of Great Britain passed and made law the British North America Act, granting to Canada the basis of her self-governing constitution, which was put into effect on July 1st, 1867. This Act created separate provinces and named Lower Canada, Quebec; Upper Canada, Ontario; uniting them with the Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in what was and is known today as the Self-governing Dominion of Canada. This Act re-affirmed the freedom of religious worship and education, and established French and English as the official languages. It established Provincial Governments for the Provinces; created the present House of Commons as an elective body by the people, for the making and enforcing of laws and the carrying on of the business ofthe country; the Senate, or Upper House, an appointive body, upon recommendation by the Government to the Governor General; a Governor General, representing His Majesty, the King; Lieutenant Governors of the Provinces, appointed by the Governor General upon recommendation by the Dominion Government. It provided the electoral representation for the House of Commons by fixing that of the Province of Quebec at 65, and each of the other Provinces a representation bearing the same proportion to its population as 65 is to the population of Quebec. It definitely prescribed what powers are granted the Provincial Governments, leaving all else in the power of the Dominion Government, and international questions by agreement with the Imperial, Each of the Provinces entering Confederation did so of its own free will. The Government of New Foundland voted to enter the Canadian Confederation, but its people, by popular vote, reversed this decision. Provision was made in the B.N.A. Act, as it is called, for the inclusion of other territories; thus the country west of the Great Lakes and east of the Rockies was acquired by the Dominion in 1869, which act led later to the rebellion led by Louis Riel. ln 1870 Manitoba joined Confederation. British Columbia, which td this time had been a Crown Colony, joined in 1871, and Prince Edward Island in 1873. In 1905 Alberta and Saskatchewan were created separate Provinces within the Dominion. In 1912 the boundaries of Quebec were increased by 354,961 sq. miles; Ontario by 136,400 sq. miles; Manitoba by 188,100 sq. miles. No reference to Dominion Day is complete without mention of those rugged Fathers of Confederation, to whose great vision Canada of today owes so much. Sir John A. McDonald, Hon. George Brown, Sir George E. Cartier, Sir Etienne P. Tache, Sir Alexander T. Gait, Hon. Thomas D'Arcy Magee, Sir Oliver Mowatt, Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Adam G. Archibald and Sir Leonard Tilley. These men started a great work, to be completed to a high destiny by succeeding generations. It is well that their memory' be kept alive, and that each generation realize the full significance of its duty. People who call speculating "gambling" use language carelessly, The speculator is a pioneer, an explorer, a builder, a creator; whereas the gambler is a mere parasite. We haye great faith in the Portland Canal district and believe it will eventually be one of the greatest producing districts in the world- Mining Truth, Spokane.

Dunwell, for no apparent reason, dropped seme 20 points; it would appear that this stock is being held down while big investors are getting their ordets filled, as it is always noted that large blocks offering are quickly taken up. B.C.Silver remained in active demand from $2.15 up. So little of this stock being on the open market, small buying quickly acts on the price. It is noticed by past years in the district that this is usually the quiet period in the stock market, caused by the fact that the public's mind is turning to holidays. This is usually followed by an active season in August, September and October. Market conditions were never better than at the present time. Prices have been extremely low, which leaves plenty of room for advance in the local stocks of merit. The local brokers note that buying orders are coming in from all parts of Canada and the U. S., proving the interest being taken in the camp from outside points. Information has just been received that work is to start immediately on the Victoria Minep under the supervision of Henry Horstman. The present low price of this sloak gives every opportunity for a rapid enhancement. The market closed as follows: Bid Asked B. C.
