BARRISTER, SOLICITOR,  || NOTARY PUBLIC, ETC  .. Vernon, B. C  V  Last week W. A. Haining gave a  working bond on the Sacramento  miiicral claim, a promising property  tit the mouth of Twenty-mile canyon,  which heliad held for some years and-  oil which he has done considerable,  work; for, unlike too many claim owners in tho camp, he has done all his  means would allow him in the way of  development' work, and very few  would have accomplished as much under the circumstances. ,    ���������    ���������       ,     ���������"  The bond was given to A'. 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. ' In this feature of the negotiation the owner is  also to be congratulated on what some  others might be disposed to term his  slackness but which is jnoie in line  with the spirit and mode of procedure  nowadays obtaining in the purchase  LABOR DAY AT HEDLEY  .

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.  On Monday afternoon it cleared off  considerably and the sports proceeded.  For horse-racing the track was heavy,  but there were some very good races,  nevertheless.

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.

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. What do the  people of Koolenay and of Yale-Cariboo think of this?  METEOROLOGICAL.

But a little latei on, when bethinks  of Sifton, he fires up and appeals to  them tis French-Canadians to keep the.  French on top by returning aFronch-  Canadian premier.

Of course, it would take a long explanation to lid I what that's for.

It will be different  with the electors.  In point of loyalty to the British  flag aud British ideals Australia and  New Zealand have set tin example that  should make Canada blush with  shame. 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.  The Canadian Liberals when compelled by the business men and far-  nieis of Canada to retain the protective tariff of their predecessors,-have  had good times in spite of themselves.

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.

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.

At  present he is engaged running levels  on the L'.we ranch by the people who  have arranged for purchase.  Mr. Coleman, who returned last  week from Tulameen, where he was  engaged by the provincial government  to conduct an auction sale of town  lots, reports a successful sale netting  in the neighborhood of $7000.  The Misses Gertrude and Marjone  Smith, of Hedley, who were visiting  friends here, were the guests of honor  at a tennis party given by Mrs. J. A.  Brown on Wednesday of last week.

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.  Joe returned home after spending a  couple of days here looking after some  business which required his attention.  .
