Enjoyed by Crowds. —The List of Winners in Events. The -J4tb bere will long be reinem- beied as one ol the beet days for sports that has ever dawned upon Revelstoke. A light breeze and a warm sun helped to make it an ideal day in which to break recorda and have a good time. The Y.M.C.A. grounds were busy all day long. At 10:30 a.m. the Intermediate baseball players put it over tbe old timers by the score ol 8 to 0 alter a bard game. At 1:30 the tield Bports commenced with tbe 100 yard dash. Williamson non in 12 seconds with K. McRae a good second. Running bigh jump—1 Lefeaux 5ft., 2 Crowe, 1ft. lOin. In tbe relay race Cameron's team won with Hope's team a good second. Running broad jump—Crowe 16ft. 10in., Freeman 16ft. 8iu. Pole vault—Crow 8f;. 9in,, Freeman 8ft. 6in Shot put—Freeman 30ft. 6io., Duncan 30ft. Potato race—1 K. McR.ie, 2 Williamson. Hurdle race—1 E.

Junior lacrosse game—Employed boys v Schools, won by Schools. In summing up the day's Bports the following were the best performances: Crowe iu the pole vault, Lefeaux in tbe jump, Cameron in tbe hurdles and the junior bigb jump which was taken by Andercon and Lyttle at 4ft. 6in. Young \V. McLean gave them a hard run and is entitled to great credit lor bis mark ol 3ft. 1 lin. considering that ue is only about 4ft. high himself. The candy scramble provoked mucb mirth and who would believe tbat Revelstoke boasted so many children. The live-mile race went toC. Palmer in tbe good time of 27 minutes. Hay cock of Malakwa unfortunately conld not finish having become suddenly. He is a good sport and it is hoped to see him bere again. The lacrosse game wound up tbe day's sport and everyone went borne satisfied with a good afternoon's enjoyment CRICKETERS' FIELD DAY Local Batters Hold the Scores Against Rivals The visiting and local cricketers bud a lied day on Monday with all the apparent luck or good play turning in fuvor ol the locals.

Tbe usual custom in counting cricket scores, as tbe game is often a slow one, is to allow the winner of the first innings tbe second io a contest. This occurred on Monday and Revelstoke got tbe award as against Kamloops on a count of time. The matches were not exciting at any time but were witnessed each afternoon by a large number of friends of the players, The occasions were both dignified and made more than usually enjoyable by tbe Berving of tea and light refreshments by the hostesses ou each occasion. Empire Day Shoot In common with other celebrators of Empire Day the Revelstoke Guu Club had an afternoon outing, during which tbey enjoyed a shoot at tbe new traps on tlieir range. The day was ideal for marksmanship and nine of the crack shots who bad not been tempted out of tbe city by the excursions to other points pinked the birds.

The day wae ideal and the train schedule was carried out but tbe time allowed by tbe schedule for the local visitors to remain at Enderby was not long enough for an ideal day's sport, in tbe way of a contest between tbe rivals from two cities who bad to travel bo far to reach each other. In tbe lacrosse contest Revelstoke beat Armstrong by four to two, but in the baseball contest the home team fell down the count out being ten to seven in lavor of Enderby, Minto Cup Stays at the Coast It is old news at tbis time ol publication (or every sporting man in tbe province knows tbat the Minto cup will stay in British Columbia but every patriot will experience a sense of satisfaction at tbis knowledge. Tbe descriptions of the contest at the oosst which leaves the Westminster boys the winners bave already been read by everybody who takes any interest in such matters. It is said that the Keginiis or so- called 'All Stars" did not even put up a fight and that those* familiar with the tactics of the game thought Irom the outset tbat they were afraid of the result. Tbe sport was in no way markek by spirit and the results were accordingly. Much might be written in the de Bcription of such a game but no written description can equal or enthuse as a witnessing of the actual contest and it will please the reador hest to say at this date that tbe total goals in the series netted Westminster 18 ami Region 6. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS Phenomenal Sale Prices of Prince Rupert Lots—Syria Wants Home Rule—Extreme Cold Weather in the East.

Fire Company Picnic The members of No. 1 Fire Company with tbeir wives, sweethearts and fiiunds, spent a delightful half day on Monday afternoon picnic ng on tbe grounds between tbo agricultural area and tbe water Iront, Not only did they and their youngsters indulge in the usual games and sports, but, as might be expected, tbe evening was made glad by the serving ol a sumptuous repast Irom the ladies ol the oo in pany. HOSPITAL BENEFIT Amateur Dramatic Club Makes Hit on Monday Night The members of the Revelstoke Amateur Dramatic Club were yesterday and to-day receiving congratulations ol their friends on the success ol their presentation of "All the Comforts of Home" as a hospital benefit on Monday night. The presentation of the comedy was in every way credit able and the congratulations are deserved. The attendance at the opera house was large and as creditable to the people of Revelstoke as the production itself. While tbe playlettc can scarcely be dignified with the name of a comedy proper, it would he equally improper to say that there is no plot. Tbe lover of ligbt comedy waits witb interest at the drop of tbe curtain in each act for tbe rise on the new revelations, The caste bad evidently caught this spirit in staging and performing the play, (or there was vim aud spirit in the opening sentences un beginning each aot. Tbe members of the club presenting tbe play wera somewhat handicapped by the fact tbat tbe caste calls for a large number of characters while most of the time only a few of these occupy tbe stage. There was, however, a smoothness of flow in the dialogue tbat waB delighttul to listen to aud the memory work was so uearly perfect that ita excellency should be mentioned. There were spirited parts in each act and it was apparent that theai were not lost sight of by the perform ers. Wbile it would be a delight to analyze tbe characterizations of each of those taking part, the limitations ol space make this impossible. In tin case of several of tbe artistes and artists one would bave liked to Bet them iu heavier rolea. The nature ol the play allowid little latitude for tin portrayal of strong emotion or nittura; paasion, but where there was oppor tiinity lor these, the most was made ol the situation. In an extended critique many things might be said that would relied the apparent sentiment of the audience as to the merit of the performance, but it is conceded to have been the best yei put on by the local club. As in ever) city of the size of Revelstoke there if latent histrionic talent and this should be encouraged whenever the members ol an amateur club go to tbe trouble and expense ol preparing tor such n production. The audience last Mon day night was not demonstrative, but it was appreciative, and the lack ol demonstration evidently arose from a ouriosity to sec whether tbe players would acquit themselves with mon than usual credit. The staging was good and credit is reflected on the stage director. Mention must bo made also ol tin piiinislic renditions though it was a pity tbat a lew stringed instruments could not have been added to the musical equipment. Altogether Revelstoke need not blush for ber Dramatic Club antl many a good dollar has been paid in metropolitan cities to witness a per (ormance iu no way more creditable to the performers than that of Mon day. Reginas Will Play Here The Itegina "All Stars" who wen deieated at New Westminster on Mon duy at the championship lacrosse game played there will not only givi lhe local lacrosse players a chance to display their skill but will endeavor to teach them a few things about the game on their return trip. Arrangements have been made tor lhe. Itegiuiu- to stay over and play a game on the grounds here on Monday, M ty 31, at 5:30 iu the afternoon. Aiiiioiiiicenienl of the lineup and players will be made in the Sni unlay issue ol the Mmi,- Herald.

To talk ab-.ilt the re-l ,,l U-. WEDNESDAY, MAV 26 L908 expect that it would." We think such an admission curries its obvious meaning and excuses the somewhat warm criticism which this paper indulged in. Both papers agree however in saying that it makes nu difference anyway as the C.P.R. will determine what action is taken irrespective of the opinions or preferences of the peo-1 pie of llevelsloke. With ihis we j cordially agree and will go further'! and say that the.railway company will (Hit its shops where it pleases without regard to the preference of the people of Kamloops. This being the case the only rellection which it occurs to us to innke is that, in spite of the unprecedented devolopment of the region round about that city the Kamloops hoard ol trade must lind time hang heavily on its hands, or else the appointment of useless ...committees is done just for pastime. Jt remains however fur the Observer, a paper which we believe ie now printed in Revelstuke to champion the Kamloops action and by an ingenious method lind an excuse for the Kamloops board. As the editorial of the Observer is unusually lengthy for that papes only its salient features are dealt with. It makes a vicious attack on a leading citizen who has fallen under the ban of its displeasnre. It slates that Kamloops is only retaliating for some action of the local buard of trade in adopting a committee report urging "the Canadian Northern to build through the Columbia and Okanagan valleys (to Vancouver) instead of the Thompson valley and Kamloops." It would appear from this lugic that Kamloops is amply and fully justified in resenting the effort of lhe Kevelstoke people to get the Canadian Northern through to the coast by way of this city but Revelstuke, forsooth, must not resent the action of Kamloops in attempting to loot the city of its chief industrial asset. It has ceased to be true then that what is sauce for the gander. We opine that lhe Kamloops people will not seriously appreciate the helping hand held out in so friendly a way hy the local weekly paper. What the business men ol Revel- stake will think uf a paper that depends upon them fur patronage and draws its life blood out of tlieir support and yel hastens to assure Kamloops of its sympathy is a question which we shall not attempt to answer. Perhaps it is because the Observer wus, until so recently, printed and published in Kamloops that it has not yet adapted itself to its purest air. It is unfortunate however that elements uf personal dislike should so strongly dominate an editorial sanctum. Editors should be able at all times to look up and down .1 street without seeing through blue goggleB. THK KAMLOOPS CASK Last week the M.ui -H1_.1tAi.11 took occasion to criticise the spirit and action of the Kamloops board of trade in appointing a committee I 1 press upon the otiiciale of the C.P. R. the removal of the railway shops frum Revelstoke to that city, \\ e Imd hoped that there wus an erron- on- report in the Kamloops papers announcing the (act but ther- is no longer any doubt as to it- truth, both the Kamloops journal; restal ing and one ui them defending the action. The main contention oft this paper in the premises was that it is an unneighborly net un the piirt of a sister city and that it is! at variance with the spirit ol the west. The Sentinel however, while •idmittiiiji that such a course is in bad taste goes itself better in asserting that "there is no serious crime in any city trying to better itr condition even at the expense ..I another." We hope this sentiment is not prevalent among the people of Kamloops aud that it does not j reflect the spirit of its board oft trade, British Columbia is big and wealthy enough in natural resources for all her cities and, if the Kamloops papers are to be believed the neighborhood of that city is particularly prodigal of such. The Sentinel admits that Revelstoke peuple "naturally resent" the efforts made 11.1 remove the shops but is otherwise weak in its defence of its Local boai 1 1 be Standard Btating ih .

REVELSTOKE GENERAL AGENCIES, Ltd. company's directors, hut beyond such interest in the business attempts no dictation. The Interior Publishing Company employs a competent staff and then leaves the members of that staff to attend to their respective duties. But in this connection it is pertinent to ask: " If the M.\ii,-lli:i<Ai,msMcCarter's paper, whose paper is the Observer ?" We pass it up. Lowery, in the Greenwood Ledge, says : " The man who allows a board of trade to run his business, will land in the hands of a sheriff." We would respectfully ask the city of Kamloops "what do yon know about that ?." WANTED—A powerful microscope to lind the man witb the host who is so badly needed tn sprinkle the streets. What is the use of trying lo lind out whether there are canals in Mars when there is no moisture down here ? A comfortable rellection results from the fact that there are no willingly idle men in the city. Occasionally a "Weary William" occurs, but not often. To the credit oi the railroad men it should be slated lhat Uiis class of traveller is discouraged. Transient travel is increasing, and in common with the other prospering cities of the province, Revelstoke is experi encing its summer revival of trade. The increase in the number ol new dwellings is a fair indication of what is taking place. UMPIRE DAY The Calgary Herald in 1 ommon with many other papers.

Tiiutii-ii -Buck" ihe I i »h e dog who is ihe hero of the-to anil whine career tbe HUthor traci ■ (rom the day the animal was kidnap p.d Irom his master's home in the Stnta Clara Valley uutil tbe time when he deeerts mankind and juinc tbe wolf packs ol the (rozen north. I will be remembered that London leaves "Buck" at the head ol the dog's lero cioui ancestors; their chosen leader aod as wild as the wildest ol the pack. It is a far cry from that glacier- strewn valley where London gives his reader hia last glimpse of "Buck" to the me agerie of the Greater Norris it Rowe Circus and yet, uucreditable as it may seem, there is caged in tbat menagerie a wolf-dog that well might have been the hero of "The Call ol the Wild." Indeed, if there ever was such a dog as "Buck," if London based bis story upon anything but pure imagination it would not be hazarding too much to assume that this wild thing o! the menagerie is the shaggy, snarling embodiment of his theme. "Kon" tbe Norris & Kowe animal has been so named lor the reason tbat he waB captured ou the I'pper Yukon river, comes out of Alaska. He was found in a wolf trap by placer miners. So large and beutilul was he and so like in shape and look of intelligence to the domestic dog, that the men placed him in a rudely constructed cage. Robert Le Roy, whose properties the men weie working at the time of the capture, wsb amazed at the size and beauty of tbe brute. Knowing that bis old time friend, Manager H. S. Rowe, is at all times on tbe lookout for unusual animals, Le Roy had the captive sent to the circus headquarters at Santa Cruz, Calif. "Kon" is now one of tbe most beautiful exhibits in the en ire menagerie. Men long experienced in handling wild animals are c uvinced that be iB the most unusual type of woll they have ever seen. He is the fiercest and strongest ol the band of wolves that Norris A Rowe carry with them. Frank Williams, "Kim's'' special keeper and a man noted for bis ability to lame the wildest of animals, has taken a keen inter est in hi« new chime. Talking ol the aninml he said: "I have long been inti-resti-d i i Lmdnn's novel, 1 am nonvi.ic d mat a dog subjected to the Condition!) imposed in the "Call ol the A'lld" would retrograde to the absolute wild state. I am also convinced that such a dog could be retamed. II "Kon" wbb, indeed, once domesticated, I shall bring him back to tbat state," Tnis unusual dog-wolf will be shown in the menagerie of tbe Greater Norris A Rowe Circus when it exhibits at Revelstoke on Wednesday, June 2nd. DEEP SINKING PROSPECTS Work at Phoenix Tunnel of Pioneer Importance Operations on the big tunnel which is to run under the mountain upon which Phoenix iB located, and waB commenced a month ago, is now in close to the 100-foot mark. Speaking ol the big project, Richard Armstrong, the resident promoter, Btates that negotiations are now under way to secure one of the big Swiss- Sbandler machines, which will cut an eight foot bore at a rate of 50 feet a day. Tbe machines themselves cost about $60,000. The company is incorporated in Illinois as the Greenwood Phoenix Tramway and Development Company, with a capitalization of $3,000,000. "The work tbat the company plans is really pioneer work, as important as the first Burface prospecting done in that district," says Mr. Armstrong to the Phoenix Pioneer: "None of the companies bave penetrated to a depth of more than 400 or 500 feet, and if ore is encountered in our tunnel at a depth ol 2400 feet it will mean more for tbe district than anything else that has been done bere. It will mean that eastern capital will come in and the development of the district immediately to au extent that would otherwise wait for small companies to run tentative shafts." Measured in values of merchandise imported and exported, as compared with those of a year ago, trade conditions in practically all sections of tbe commercial world Bhow a decline, according to a report ol the United States bureau ol statistics. NOBLE FIVE TO START Sandon Mine, Long Closed, Will Resume Work Tbe Kootenaian is responsible for the statement that a report comes from Sandon tbat the Noble Five mine will shortly start up again. Tbis property, which was one of the big j shippers in the early days, was purchased by mortgage to Lieut.-Governor Dunsmuir about seven yeara ago and promptly closed down. It haB been idle ever since and miners have tried in vain to UaBe it time and time again. Tbe Nobis Five iB a rich property and with systematic development will again come to tne fore. It possesses the first silver-lead concentrator built in the Slocan, aud although somewhat out of date, with a little remodelling will do effective work. Not Bad for Jews An interesting bit of fire insurance history has just come to light in the ollicial records ot the Gore District company of Gait, Out. A. H. Lofl't & Co. dry goods merchants of St. Mary's, had a loss by fire, lor which the adjusters allowed $0250, At their next stock taking the firm became convinced tbey had not lost more than $3750. Having confirmed this by a second stock-taking, they immediately returned the insurance companies $2500 overpaid tbem, the Gore share being $289. The explanatory letter was ordered inscribed in tbe company's minutes in full and a resolution waB passed expressing the appreciation of tbe high-minded and honorable course pursued by the Messrs. l.otlt. Helping Themselves J. D. Anderson, surveyor of Trail, has been instructed by the provincial government to survey a wagon road from tbe Kootenay river to a point about seven miles up l'aes cieek, north-east of Castlegar. Construction of tbe road will be done at once by the Doukbobor society, whu own several thousand acres of grazing land up PasB creek. They have already constructed the road Irom Waterloo to tbe Kootenay river, and have built a ferry tbere, wbere a power line oroases the river.

The first little extra cost is more than made up by the extra number of loaves of bre.-t'l it mnkes- by the superiority of the bread and i-nstrv in sweetness of flavor nnd nourishing qualities. Buying Purity Flour is a safe investment.

Finder will kindly return lo M.UL-HlCltAI.D ollice and receive a reward, WISE WORDS OF BIRRELL Secretary for Ireland. Talks Sound Sense Hon. Augustine Hirrell, secretary for Ireland, at-a dinner given by tbe Bristol chamber of commerce, in proposing "Ships, Colonies and Commerce," said he rejoiced to feel that representatives of the colonies 'were coming over to London to consider the whole question cl naval defences. "We are proud ot their assistance, which we will not accept in any part as payment for our own obligation", but. that tbey will combine with ns in the hope that we might be able to devise a scheme ot national empire defence, which would encourage everyone to strengthen their forces and defences, give confidence to all and make all our colonial subjects of the Crown feel that tbey were contributing in some part, not a closely calculated part, but anything they choose to offer ol their own free will. Colonies thus knit, together would play a great part in our national life, und it would, in the course of a few years, become a scandal for a middle aged mini liki himself lo get up and say be hail never viBiied auy uf these colonies.
