Creelman and has doubtless been taken'for the Redeemable Investment Co. who also hold a bond on a controlling interest in the Kingston group. The consideration has not been given out but it is understood that the price agreed on was reasonable and ample opportunity is given the purchaser to ascertain something of the value of the property befoi'e payment is made.

The day is past when one can demand a cash payment of ten per cent, with any bond or option given, and those who persist in hugging the-delusion that they can do so should prospect their claims again for good browsing, tor, until things change, it is only,too apparent that browse is about- all they will get to live on until they get a bit wiser. The Sacramento lies on the east side of Twenty-mile between the Hume and the Metropolitan claim of the Kingston group. It had some fair showings of good payable ore which Haining' uncovered in his development work. Last spring he was preparing to ship a carload of payable ore which he could easily have done as one of his showings sampled $30 per ton. No time was lost in getting to work and 'two''days after the. option was taken men were at work on the claim and already after five* or six days work they have six feet of good pay" able ore. tStocks mines Herbert B.

During mosfof the day Sunday, in spite of the almost incessant downpour of rain, rigs were arriving from ���������outside"points, but the bulk of the visitors did not come along' until the train from the south on Monday forenoon brought in the Keremeos and Oroville contingents and these two points did the handsome thing. A counter attraction at Tulameen, as well tis unsuitable tiain service from the west, no doubt accounted for" the absence of many Princetonians who \vere mostly with us in former years. There was some disappointment that the Princeton baseball team were not here, but the Princeton brass band which had been engaged by the committee to provide music for the day came in on Sunday evening and remained until Tuesday forenoon, contributing to the pleasure of the occasion.

THE BALL-GAME The baseball match between Hedley and Oroville was the evenest and, for that reason, the most interesting game played-in Hedley. Oroville played a clean snappy game, and it looked in the second and third innings that they were going to win it, but in Hedley's half of the third they evened up tin- score and added another and it remained that way for the balance of the match, neither side being able to add another tally. Daly pitched rattling good ball for Hedley. Several times the visitors had men on bases aad looked us if they were going to tally, but Tommy always tightened up in such crises and mostly a one-two- tragedy tragedy' was enacted which blasted the hope. One pretty double play was pulled off by Charlie Armstrong for Hedley at second base where lie fielded the. ball iu a lightning pick-up, getting the runner at second and throwing to Maurice at first in the nick of time. Score, by innings Oroville-0 2 10 0 0 0 0 0 ���������3 Hedley ��������� 0 0 -1 0 0 0 0 0 1 As the tug-of-war did not fili. half the money allotted was given for a, scratch game of ball between Hedley and Keremeos in which the former won IS to 12. The usual Labor Day ball, iu Shatford's hall was one of the most successful that have been held, the guests numbering about 100. The music by the Princeton orchestra gaye general satisfaction and the floor was in good condition. Supper was served in the New Zealand and the Great Northern hotels. Within the past few weeks the Gazette- has been pointing out the loss which reciprocity would entail upon the farmers of Canada, in the raising of horses alone, and at the same time reminding the Star that it was acting against the interests of farmers ti round Princeton by advocating' reciprocity. Wo stated that the loss to our farmers would amount to from $50 to $72 per head on every horse they raised. The Star came back in the following paragraph: "The Gazette is not fair. The horse raisers of Ontario-are in favor of reciprocity because they gee better prices' in HutlHlo than in Toronto. Teams worth ������500 in Toronto readily bring $800 in Buffalo. This on the authority of A. Yacgcr, the largest exporter and raiser in the ' province. Thanks, Gazette, for the opportunity of correcting you," With two so contradictory statements it would look as if somebody is mist-ikon and the farmer has a right to some data, from either or both of us to justify, if we can, the statements we each have made. To begin with, we tire'free to admit that neither one of us knows any more about the matter than what we have been told, but at the same time we arc: quite sure that the Gazette knows more about it than the Star, or tit all events we have been mote careful of our data. We know also where the star got its "Yaeger" yarn for we happen.to know till the details of that controversy and have read the Burns letter which makes Mr. Yaeger look like 30 cents. The controversy began in the To- lonto World which has literally wiped the floor with the Globe in dealing with the economic side of reciprocity so far as the interests of the Canadian farmer is concerned, for the World went to the leading dealers in each commodity of fail 11 produce and got actual facts and figures duly vouched for by these 'dealers. The editor of the Star doubtless remembers the old Grand Reciprocity, of Toronto, which a'quarter of a century ago was the leading horse emporium of Ontario* Well, that establishment is still running and the firm who carry on the business is that of Burns <fc Slieppard whose business in 'horses with the provinces west of Winnipeg amounts to over a million dollars ti year and they say that various other dealers besides themselves handle ah amount of horses raised in Ontario and sold in the Canadian west that will bring the -yearly trade in horses with the west up to over ten millions.' . The Globe to offset this got hold of a man called Yaeger, of Simcoe, who dabbles a bit in fancy horses with pedigree that he sells to millionaires in New York state with more money than they know what to do with, and got him to. father a letter in the Globe telling of certain fancy prices he had got from such stiles, but that has no bearing whatever on the subject we were discussing. No farmer around Princeton is going into the raising of fancy stock for New York millionaires. To further show the Star that the drowning Globe was only grasping tit straws find that the Yaeger stuff' is just so much chaff, we will ask Bro. Wright to turn to page 93 of the Canada year book for 1010 compiled by the Laurier government, and he will find that the total value of horses exported from ('autula to the United States in 1010 was $153,180 and on page 92 he will also see that this represents the value of just 1,900 head of horses which he can use as a divisor to divide into the total value and it will give him just $237 per head, which shows that the Yeager yarn is a lie. on the face of it. Then let him note that $453,ISO is less than half a million while the value of the Ontario horses alone that are sold annually in the Canadian west is ten millions, or over 20 times as much. Now for some evidence as to the correctness of what the Gazette litis said about the loss of $50 per head on every horse in Canada. Here is a paragraph from a letter written to .Burns iv. Slieppard by 31. Sheehy, of Milestone, Sa.sk., who is one of their western dealers. Mr. Sheehy says: ���������'There has been a. poor crop in the Dakotas and (here is very little feed there and the farmers are selling oil'their stock.* * THEY WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS (Nelson News) Of all the remarkable appeals which have been mtule to electors in Canada during the present campaign, probably none ranks with that of that eminent young Canadian patriot, Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King, Sit Wilfrid Laurier's minister of "labor,"made in the course ofan address to his constituents of whom are either of German birth or German descent, tit Berlin a. week ago last, Monday. Here are his words in comment upon 3Ir. R.'^L. Borden's speech in the House of Commons in January, 1910, in which reference was made to the feeling that the great increase in the German naval forces was a menace to Great Britain and that Canada should, therefore, come to the assistance of the Mother Country in the shape of a contribution to the Imperial navy.' "Are the people of this country tro- ing to place tit the head of affairs, a man who takes such a position as Mr. Borden was in over a year ago when he was prepared to take from the , treasury of the country, and would have taken it had he been at the betid of the government, enough money to build two Dread noughts,' to send that money to England, telling them to sink it into warships? the amount OF MONEY HE WAS PREPARED TO SEND THERETO TAKE OUT OF THIS TREASURY TO JiVlLO WARSHIPS TO FIGHT GERMANY is more than is being spent on the whole service which the Liberal government is constructing find which when built will remain around our own shores as a protection and not as Jingoes want to use it." . These are the words of one of Sir Wilfrid's Laurier's cabinet ministers made on the public platform as tin appeal for support for the government of which he is a member.

After Laurier's attitude tit the coiifeience and McKenzie Kings break to the German voters of Waterloo thoughtful Canadians who prize British ideals have indeed reason to wonder where they are being led and what is to be the end of till this treasonable talk and action. Mackenzie King, .one ��������� of Laurier's cabinet ministers, is asking the German electors of Waterloo country, Ontario, to vote for him because Borden wanted to send a Canadian dreadnought to Great Britain to help to fight Get many; and yet it is fashion- i able for Grit sp.eakeis in this campaign to throw out their chests and simulate ti fine scorn at any imputation of their loyalty because they tire advocating a course that their best men have admitted must lead to annexation with the -United States.- With Laurier claiming that Canada mav stand aloof when Britain is at war and Mackenzie King trying to make political capital by condemning a Canadian statesmen for wanting'to help'Britain against Germany, where is there anything wrong about imputing disloyalty to a party with such a leader, such a minister and such a policy? you WORK, MflKE MR MONEY: WORK TOO. aYDEmmmyowwim WITH US TWEV wm-Hun 4������ INTEREST WHO WECREWTM0PITHL> : rinDM0nE>ISRETURli- /IBLE on DEMflflP 4S QUICKLY f\ S THEPMILS CAM G/IRRy IT.

The United States is now full of idle railway men, and should the tariff on the Canadian east and west lines which is now giving lots of employment at a good rale of wages to employees on this side, set in north and south it will be the chaps at tlie south ends who will collar the jobs anel those on this side who are laid off in consequence will have to hunt new jobs with the bunting decidedly against them.

As the police department after the whole valley from Hedley t Lost���������On Labor Day iu Hedley or somewhere on the grounds,- a watch with silverine case and Rockfortl . movement���������Finder will t please communicate,with this office. There were no less thnn ten deaths by drowning iu the Fraser in tlie vicinity of Hope within a month and the manner in which the remains of the victims have been disposed of is calculated to call up recollections of the old Onderdonk stories of thirty years ago. There were three small breaks in flume during the Labor Day rains but none of them interfered with the bottom of the flume. Tt carried about IS inches of water which permitted work- to start up again at the end of the holiday without having to wait for carpenters to make repairs. General superintendent Jones has been giviijg a great deal of attention to the mine during the past fortnight and it is also known that the development work under way has been very successful in proving up new bodies of good ore and the Nickel Plate is in fat- better position to-day than it has been at any time in its history. H. A. Hincks made another particularly low round of the golf links one day last week, making the round in 42 which had only been reached on one other occasion and that by himself. The next day, however, he did not play in as good luck and lost a ladder do hot appear to efl'ec t a n y captures it may seem necessary to fall back on the old method of vigilance committees with shotguns. Many .-country merchants don't ad-, vertise because they don't know how,, and the Greenwood Ledge thus describes the cause and the result: "On their shelves they carry goods that the people know nothing about, and in consequence send east for goods to the big stores that use plenty -of -printers ink in telling about every- thing.that they have* for sale." The new organ for the church, purchased and owned by the presbyterian congiegation but to be used by other denominations as well, was put riii place last week and used for the first time at Mr. Cameron's service on Sunday night. The instrument was purchased through the.agoncy of Mr. .1. A. Brown, of Keremeos, to whom the managers in Hedley are indebted for his generosity in .procuring them so fine an instrument for the money. Prof. Brownell who has looked it over and tried its tones, considers it a particularly fine instrument. The case is of solid oak and the reeds of a high grade specially designed for church purposes and second only to the' pipe organs. An arc light has been placed at the corner of Scott avenue and Webster St. and the improvement it. makes will well repay those who have contributed towards the purchase of same. One of the main objects in placing it was to light up the way to the hospital and it does this very well. In fact the whole ' vicinitv for a couple of blocks around that corner is very well served by it. The generous way in which .the Hedley Gold Mining Co. have responded in the matter of furnishing the current is, we are sure, appreciated as it should be and should go a long way to warns exploding the charge so often thoughtlessly made that corporations have no souls and Tulameen. For t|ie past four weeks Hedley has had! practically no constable at all and during the past week liquor was being given in Hedley to interdicted men. Hotel;keepers who do that sort of thing have no business to hold linences <*it all and tlie soonc r they are weeded out .the hotter. People who have noticed anything in this connection which the constable ought to know to aid hiin in securing a conviction should tell him and then if the constable does not act on it he will have only himself to'blame. There is no kindness nor morality in screening sharks who for .the sake of the little bit of gain there i,s iu it for them will supply liquor to drunken or interdicted men or to anyone else, who may want to act as go-between. Many names of electors, which .should, have been on the lists for Kere- meos are licit there. Thisjs principally accounted for by the fact that last March when the names should have been sent in for the. May revision, there was no thought of an election and .nobody was sufficiently interested to make theeffoit necessary to have them placed on. . In this respect both, parties appear to suiter about equally around here. ��������� On Wednesday of last week Dr. McGregor of Penticton was called over to attend Mr. T. E. Pares, of Olalla. who has contracted typhoid fever. He was accompanied by Mrs. and Babv (wee) McGregor, and being an old acquaintance of your correspondent, drove down, when in the vicinity, for a few hours' visit. On the return trip that evening the cat, a 25 h. p, McLaughlin and ordinarily well behaved ana reliable,'refused to work when a short distance up the Keremeos canyon and the doctor and family had to spend the' night at the home of Mr. Kennedy. Messrs. Hdlnian and Buckland, of Kelowna, were in Kei emeos last week. The latter was seeking beef cattle and went as far down the valley as Richter's lower ranch. The former was over to note ..development in the tobacco crop planted herein an experimental ivav last June. He found the plants much further advanced than he anticipated and was vastly surprised at the growth the}* had made. He is. loud in his assurance that the valley is suitably adapted to tlie culture of this plant,,and that ranchers who engage in it.cjin be sure of cleaning up at least $150 an acre, with ready sale for all that can be grown. -> c* v SUBSCRIBE FOR THE GAZETTE KEEP YOUR EYES ON CAMP HEDLEY WATCH IT GROW It is destined to be the Greatest Gold Mining Camp in Canada.

RESOU AST PR IN ETO gives you the opportunity for one of the i in British Columbia. City Lots are being offered for Sale for the first time. It is inevitable that the value of these lots will Greatly Increase. Here are some of the reasons. East Princeton is .surrounded by huge deposits of coal, cement, covjper, gold, and other important minerals. The British Columbia Portland Cement Co. is erecting a- half a million dollar plant which will employ between 300 and 400 men. The United Empire Co. is shipping a lignite coal of the best quality and is .developing immense copper deposits, requiring large reduction works and several hundred employees. The Princeton Coal and Land Co. is increasing its daily shipments to :>00 tons of coal providing employment to about 1J30 men. Other coal companies are spending over #2,000,000 in development, and will dve work to at least 1000 men. For transportation, East Princeton will have, in the near future, the Great Northern and the Kettle Valley lines, both of which, will pass through the townsite. East Princeton is beautifully situated on the Similkameen river, with an abundance of water power available. The new city has every factor for growth into a big industrial centre. It presents a rare opportunity for investment. Get Full Particulars immediately D. G. McCurdy, R. E. Ward, ��������� # ��������� ��������� Princeton, B. C. * Pacific Blk., Vancouver, B.

Mrs. Thomson and children arrived hist week from Vancouver and joined the Doctor here.

Even at that he did a sprint to try and head off-the iron horse at the. crossing west of town but there was so much water on the streets that even the "big Mogul" had to capitulate, the excess 'moisture causing short-circuiting. Even the Steady down-pour of rain, which set in Sunday morninerand continued until Monday afternoon, could not dampen the holiday spirits of many Keremeos people who had made their plans to attend the Labor Day sports in Hedley, and there was a good representation from the fruit belt. Had it not been tor the rain there would have been the usually large attendance, r : ^: / Work' "on the. wagon road up the Ashnola has been suspended owing to the. lack of any signs of activity on the part of the promoters of the tungsten mines, up in that country, who agreed to begin immediate construction of the road above the Forks if the B. C. government would build that far. We understand that in the event of the Tungston men' getting busy work will be. resumed at the government camp, which has been moved up beyond the first canyon. We were pleased to see our old friend Joe Armstrong of the lower valley in town again last week after a long absence, enforced by the painful accident which he sustained early last spring. The injured leg is slowly healing and he hopes soon to be able to navigate better. Joe is strongly opposed t������* the ^manner in .which the authorities at Ottawa are tampering with the tariff. Last year he purchased a large number of sheep from across the line on which he had to pay several hundreds of dollars duty and now when he is nearly in a position to take advantage of the protection it is removed. He also states that the changes of regulations in regard to the importation of sheep are also most disconcerting and place a man engaged in this industry in such a position that he dem't know where he is at.
