THE LADYSMITH CHRONICLE With Which Is Amalgattoted the Ladysmith Standard. Vol. I. Ladysmith, B. C, Sandfly, April 17, 1909. //() No. P. R. Hindmarch -1 Returns Thanks A short time ago the Ladysmith Football Club presented Mr. R. R. Hindmarch with a handsomely engraved locket in recognition ol fits services to the club as manager. Thc initials "R. It. H." wero ir raised letters on one side and or, tho reverse side tho words, "Presented to R. R. Hindmarch by tlio Ladysmith Football Olub." The tribute to Mr. Hlndmarch's energy In looking alter the altairs of tho club was well deceived, and the following roply has teen received from that gentleman: Nanaimo, April 15, 1909. W. G. Simpson, secretary ol thq Ladysmith Football Club. ' Dear Sir:—I have to acknowledge the receipt ot your letter of the 13th Inst., and the very beautiful locket presented to me by the Ladysmith Football Club as a souvenir of ray connection with it in the capacity ol manager. Let me say at once that I, am both proud and pleased to b*. bo kindly remembered by tho boyi with whom for over a year I was sc intimately associated, lt is always a pleasure to anyone to know that his nervices havo been appreciated, no matter in what form the apprc ciatlon may find expression. In my case let me say that I am doltghteu with the locket I have received and am more deeply touched still with tho kindly spirit of remembreni:o in which it was presented. I beg,that you will convey to your management committee, and the boys themselves my hearty thanks lor their handsome present and true appreciation of the kindly spirit which prompted it. There was no one In Ladysmith more disappointed than 1 was at not being able to bo present at your banquet on tho 11th inBt. I had had no hint that yon had any surprise in store lot- mc; but I would have liked at least to tender a verbal thanks to you all. Now you must accept In cold print the warm feelings ot gratitude your kindliest) has cooked. 1 want to make sure of saying Just one thing, It Is that I W1 n(!V«r likely to forget my connection with the Lndysmith Football Club, lt did not need nny souvenir to keep alive the memories of the battles, the Victories and ueicats, we onjoyed and sutlcred together but I am more than pleased to know that I also am remembered. I have always said, both in public and In private, and I still say, that a tetter lot of boys it was never my good fortune to be con- Bectodwitll. You know, sir, that to ect ns manager to a senior football eleven is not always a smooth,nor an easy task. My position was rendered perhaps still more diftlcult by the fact that I was called on to pass a iree and independent criticism upon thc play bf the team as a whole and upon the individual players. I only want to state hero that I always, so far as I know, and so far as I was able, wrote impartially and expressed my opinions on what I honestly considered tne event of the play, I never intentionally t.pnnen* a word calculated to hurt, a, player's feelings; but, ot course, H was impossible to avoid giving ol- tense to some. No man can please everybody; more than that, no one who ia a man will try, Tho point Is thnt the players gave me credit for at least fairness and honesty, and ln the locket that I am now wear- In; I have tangible proof tbat tbey believe I was only seeking to the best of my poor ability to serve them and to advance tho Interests ot the club. I shall ever look back with pleasure to my connection with, the club, and time will never blot out tho memory of the many anxious trip*, strenuous battles, and Jolly times we had together. In conclusion permit me to express my best wlshos for tht future success of the club. In the season thnt I was connected with tho club we tell just short ot success, and In our failure lack of fortune to us played an even bigger part than lack of I merit. Since my removal Irom ladysmith the club |s stronger than over fn playing talont. But a team ot stars will always tall betore .a team of mcdlrcrltlcs unless thoy nre In harmony ono with the other, nml< ready to sink all dllleroncos to servo' and secure tlio interests of tho club as /» whole, Ladysmith can turn'out. to-day a stronger eleven than any other club in tho province but, to do full justice to themselves, the boys must cultivato that cijprlt de de corps which transforms cloven units luto u single harmonious whole With tho same fighting spirit which characterized thc team of old they ought to prove almost invincible on any field on the coast. This has grown Into a tremendously long letter, but I left in such a rush that I was unable to put my- sdll on "record." That it should 'lave fallen upon your devoted head Is only poetic justice. I wish to thank you personally for your very kind references to myself in your letter, and with every good wish to yourself, to the club, and to the beys, I nm, truly yours, R. R. HINDMARCH. Newfoundland Boom Town May Submit Another By-law Big Football Game To-morrow A tract of land which several months ago was a veritable wilderness in the central section of Newfoundland is to-day a town ot 2,000 inhabitants, equipped with the most modern devices tor labor conservation, comfort and expedition. The town is Grand Fulls, which has its inception in the fact that a wealthy English' newspaper owner dei sired to assure himself of a continuous supply of pulp to manufacture hilt paper is the latest ot the boom towns which have sprung up on the Eorth American continent periodical; ly. In the present case, however, private capital and enterprise are entirely responsible and tho inhabitants are men carefully chosen because ot their fitness as model citizens, skilled pulp-makers or laborers, and their wives and children. Within 60 square miles of territory have been laid out and to a large extent, erected tbe various component parts ot this model municipality in the ancient colony cf Newfoundland. Already a dam 1,000 feet wide has' been built bo that 1,000,0001 test ol logs can be stored at ail times, assuring the town's. Inhabitants ot steady occupation. Two separate railroad line*, a power station ot 45,000 horse power capacity, a private telephone system and nearly 400 attractive and serviceable houses are also.Included in the present equipment of the town. It Is expected to place several steamboats in commission on a regular schedule as soon as active manufacturing Is begun. This will be early next autumn. It is understood that the origin*', estimate of the laying out ot tho town provided for the expenditure of (6,000,000 inclusive of the land, which was very expensive because ot the great growth ot timber. It is this extensive stretch of timber-which is the town's bread and butter, From this, houses have been constructed, the great, dam built,, mills erected, steamboat piers built and telephone poles shaped. A corps of the leading forestry experts ot-Cnnada and tho United States has already planned the method and mean* ol cutting the trees and to provide for new growth. lor, and tbe whole subject thoroughly discussed. Mr. C. H. Burgess, representing Jfililam C. Brent, ot Toronto, reached Ladysmith last Thursday, and spent part of the day in consultation with the Mayor, and late ln the evening the members of the City Council mot Mr. Burgess and discussed at length the trouble over thc present sower by-law. Mr. Burgee* wfis anxious to settle the matter as simply as possible, and with that end In view the council decided'to send the Mayor to Victoria, and there in the presence oi Mr. Taylor discuss th'i whole question. Yesterday morning Mayor Nicholson and Mr. Burgess went down to Victoria and during thc afternoon a conference was held with Mr. Tay- It was hoped that the difficulty could le adjusted by submitting a supplementary by-law which would fully mcet the requirements of the Toronto firm, and indeed Mr. Burgess expressed himself satisfied to accept this solution of the problem, provided it was strictly in accordance with tile law. But this is where the hitch may occur, and it wa9 suggested ad an alternative proposition that the original by-law with the additional clauses might have to he submitted to tho ratepayers. Should this be necessary the tho by-law will be drafted in Victoria, and a copy kept there. The original copy will be forwarded to the, company's solicitor in Toronto, and if satisfactory Mr. Burgess wlll6be notified by wire and the by-law will be submitted without unnecessary delay. In thc latter event, tbe Brent people are prepared to pay all expenses in connection with drawing tbe by-law and also the printing of the now debentures. .) idn't to Stat Anyone Police Magistrate . Harrison had rather an Interesting1 assault case he- fore him yesterday morning, when Wa.ter Mylea hud J. II. Robinson summoned lo explain certain conduct towards Myles at his ranch last Monday morning. Both gave evidence and the testimony of Mr. Myles was ln the direction ol proving thntRoblnson bad ordered him away from the cabin occupied by the latter and exposed a gun while doing so. Robinson admitted having warn: ed Mr. Myles to leave, but denied having used threatening language and Incidentally swore that tbe tact that he had a gun could not be construed as meaning that he Intended to shoot Mr. Myles, Robinson Is a logger and ha* been cutting wood on the land recently purchased by Mr. Myles trqm the railway company. Th* latter wa* grailng hi* horse close to tho cabin occupied by Robinson, and thla gave rise to a dispute when the latter removed It. The evidence was conflicting nnd tlie magistrate dismissed the charge, but Robinson will lie. naked to sign a bond to koep the peace. Inasmuch ns lt may bo necessary to pass a new electric light by-law tho suggestion hns been mado that it would bo well to submit both bylaws at onco, so that, there would) be no delay in the construction ol both public utilities. Tlio matter will probably be discussed at thc meeting of the council Monday night. To Develop Vancouver Island William Whyto, vice-president ot the Canadian Pacific railway, passed through Ladysmith to-day In company with Mr. H. B. Tieasley and a party of frlonds. It is understood thnt the principol object ot Mr. Whyte's visit is to examine into the prospect* ot husinees to bo developed by tho extension of tho E. ft N. railway to the north end ot the Island. In conversation with, a representative, of. The Chronicle Mr. Whyto expressed himself as greatly interested in fthe development work now going on around Ladysmith. Mayor Nicholson drtW Mr. Whyte's nttontlon to tho necessity of a better steamboat service between here and Vancouver, and it is quite likely the vice-president will glvo matter bis attention during his present visit to the coast. The premier football teams" of British Columbia, Nanaimo United and Ladysmith, meet to-morrow in their first game this season in the Island League series. So far Ladysmith have n good lead standing 7 points ior four games, Nanaimo having 4 points for two game*, and a win practically lands thc championship here. The local boys are in good shape, and are prepared to turn tbe trick' on their old opponents. The game promises to. be a good one, and those who attend may expect to sen the greatest game ot tbe season. In the game tomorrow the Ladysmith team will be. the same that defeated tbe AU-CalltoraU team last week: Goal—Bougan. \ Backs—Rogers and McBoweli. Halves—Main, Brass, Wynne, i" - Forwards — McLeod, tVarburton, Adorn. McGuire, Grainger. Referee—Mr. Fred. Richardson oi Victoria. Manager Eno requests all players .to have their shoes weil studded tor the game with Nanaimo to-morrow on account of the soft ground. itioti, but good as the little fellow is, he is hardly fast enough, or strong, chough to hold Adam, Farmer knows all Jimmy's tricks, has shadowed Mm in any number of games, and it would a risky experiment to change him lor this match. Harjoy will complete thc line and it is fortunate that Scott has recover1-. ed from his temporary loss of form. For the forward liuc, perhaps tho best that tail be done is to play Blundoll and Cruictshanks together, with .Mitchell in the centre and Mos- sey and Steel on the other wing. Thc line then wfil bo about as strong as thc club could make- it, and ought to give a good account pf Itself. Certainly it will tc n ding-dong struggle, and which ever way the verdict goes, it will only be after one of the most exciting and memorable matches ever played by the two teams. A Modern Rip Van Winkle The management of the Nanaimo and Ladysmith Football clubs have arranged with the E. & N. railway for a special train, leaving Nanaimo at 7J30 p. m. The train leaves here at 12 o'clock sharp on Sunday, and gives the excursionists a good long* afternoon- in Nanaimo. The tare is 65 cents return, and the agent hore requests thoso purchasing tickets to try and have thc change. Tbe Nanaimo Free following to say ol Press has thc the big soccer Los Angeles, April 06.—Lost ia the desert for 15 years, Albert Courtney, a mining prospector and British subject heard yesterday for the first time that Queen Victoria was dead and the name of President Roosevelt was strange to him, and not an echo of the Boer war had reached his ears. All the great facts and occurrences of recent years were matters of which he was ignorant. Courtney was'a recluse and did not seo a book or paper during the. entire period from the time he buried himself in the desert until he visited San Bernardino to ask amoilg other things, after Queen Victoria's health. "How is the queen?" was one ol his first questions. He was told, ence his question was understood, that it Is now King Edward.

Arrangements are being made for a special traio and If the company grants tho request there will be four or fire hundred rooters up to encourage the boys. The excitement has reached the old mark down below, and the town will be up to sec its boys take the measure of the champions. Under tbe circumstances tho management of the home .team want to week. Tbe. best picture was "Robin Hood," *nJ the others were of an exceptionally interesting character. Monday night there will be a change of programme, when tho following programme will be presented: "Meri«y Widow Hats," "Aeroplane Flights," "When " Reuben Comes to Town," "Klndhearted Bootblack," "Lady Killer Fooled," and a "World's Championship Baseball Match, Chicago Cubs vs Betroit Tigers." This last picture alone should attract a largo crowd, and the other pictures, the manager claims, arc tlie best yet shown at tbls house. In take no chance*. It may be that addition to the foregoing there will the Ladysmith folk are overrating be two good songs, "Always Me," the merit* of their player*,.but that tbe latter will put up a great game goes without saying. The home players must be prepared to put up the game of the season, Rogers Is utt/ortunately not yet available, but In Walker the club has a good gritty substitute.
