Beattie, fireman of the locomotive on she second section of No. ti train east- bound, were killed in a wreck which occurred near Griffiths' siding, easl of lingers' Pass, about two o'clock on Friday afternoon, The cause of the accident has not yet been ascert lined, but it is thought that il might have been due to a rail bent by heat or a broken llange. The train was a "deadhead" composed of twelve empty cars which were being hauled easl. Xo one was on it except the train crew and six porters. Fortunately no one besides the engineer and fireman was seriously hurl. The train was running through the pass at about thirty-live miles an hour when the engine left the truck and rolled down the incline currying nine of the twelve cars wilh it. lu the fall it struck the telegraph pole and carried down the wires, shut ting oil communication in thai way. Oliver Jones, front brakesman, was in one of the cars that went down and he said he rolled over several limes, but escaped without any worse Injury than a bud bruise iu the side The crew got out nnd drew Beattie's body, scalded from head to loot from the wreck of the engine lying on the. lope. Dewar niusl have jumped |or been ■lirown out, as he was lying unconscious sonic distinct'from the engine with both legs broken and a cut in bis skull. Some of the men made for the nearest telegraph offlce and sent word of the accident, Thero were some medical men coming on the second section of No. 07 westbound, and the railway company got them to go to (he assistance of tbe injured men with as little delay as possible. A relief train was also sent oui from Kevelstoke with doctors aboard. When they reached the scene of accident both the injured men were still living, bul Beattie died on the return journey. Dewar reached the hospital here about ten o'clock.but died an hour alter his arrival. His legs were broken in three places and be had a deep cut in the skull. He was married only about two years ago and leaves a young wife and a baby daughter, Mrs. Dewar is distracted with grief and has the wannest sympathy of the community in her affliction. Beattie, the fireman, was unmarried, He came here from Scotland a comparatively-short time ago, and il was bis second trip out as fireman, The accident tied ap through traffic on the line for several hours, delaying the second section of No. 117 eastward bound and No. IK) westbound, hut. tbe wrecking crew went out and last night the line was all clear again. An Inquest on the dead engineer and fireman "ill be held liy the coroner, Dr. Hamilton, on .Monday at 2 p.m. mailer 1. G, STRUCK BY LOCOMOTIVE Matheson Dies from Injurias— Fractured snd Arm Broken A. (i. Matheson, a man employed at the Big Eddy mill, died in tbe hospital here yesterday morning as a result of injuries received from being struck by tlie locomotive of No. IMI at the entrance of lhe ('ohmihia rivei-bridge mi Thursday morning, li is reported that Matheson had lieen drinking, and a companion was trying to assist bim back from the city to the mill. At the curve just west of the bridge Matheson •lopped and stubbornly refused logo further, but seated himself hy tin; side of the track,as ii seemed to bis companion well nut iif the way of danger, It appears that as tlie train rounded tbe curve he must have leaned over toward it. He was struck by the engine, bis skull I'raclnii-d and bis right anu broken. Tbe train pulled up and brought bill) to the city en tlie baggage car. He was taken to the hospital, hut never recovered consciousness. The coroner, Dr. Hamilton, will hold an inquest to-day. no capturT made yet Special Police Still lifter Train Robbers- Believed to be Qrganisad Gang Advices from Kamloops state that while pursuit for the train robbers around Ashcroft has proved fruitless, the chose is still being kept up with a hundred special police ou the trail. It jl now believed by the police thai the hold-up at Ducks was the work ol part uf a gang of aliout twenty crookslrrom the western slates who have lately invaded the province. It was reported that the police bad found traces iif Decker's murderer but. to far no capture has I u made. A woman who saw suspicious characters hanging around Kamloops before the robbery, has Identified tin- man shot at Ashcroft as one nl the gang. So far about twenty men have lieen placed Under arrest, bul there is no evidence to bring tin- crime hnmc to any oi thi'in. Most of those arrested were hnlxies. SHALL CITY CONNECT SEWERS Mayor Brings Up Interesting Question— Permission Granted for Apron on River Little business of Importance cann before the Council at lasl night's meet ing. Those present were .Mayor Lind mark, Aid. Wells, McDonald, Kimberley and .Stone, A letter was read froin It. Gordon, Government Agent, saying that he had been advised by the public works engineer that there was no objection lo the city putting its sewers through the mattress on the liver bank on tbe plans submitted, but that it was imperative that the culvert should he carefully inspected and kept in repair at all times. The communication was considered very satisfactory and the clerk was Instructed to acknowledge it. The live stock commissioner wrote that Major James Shepherd, Canada's foremost authority on road making would be in the province this fall, arid would lecture In-fore the council on this subject if tbey desired it. At, the close of his tour he would be open to make arrangements with municipalities for practical demonstration work. The mayor said he thought it would be a good thing to have bim come and lecture, and they might invite Ihe Hoard of Trade and llie Trades and Labor Council Lo come '.'11111 hear him also. Aid. Kimberley thought lhu meeting should lie public. The mayor said that wa. they might consider later. Aid. McDonald moved thai they invite him to come, nnd the clerk was instructed to notify the livestock commissioner to lhat effect. Dr. Tlioinii-', veterinary surgeon, reported lhat he htul examined all the cattle byres within the city limits, and found all satisfactory but one, which was too low for proper drainage. The clerk explained that this byre was not occupied at present, and the owner said it was not li tely In be again. A letter was read froin the Standard of Empire newspaper in London, offering to advertise the cily in that paper and the London Standard at the rate of $10.80 a week for a small space, either weekly or fortnightly. A fortnightly insertion would cost. $145 for six months or $200 for a year. The mayor said this question had come before the Council last year, but tbey had not seen fit to do anything. They had good fruit lands that might be advertised, and be had hoped that some of their live real estate men would have done that instead of leaving it lo the city, Aid. Wells thought lhe offer should he laid aside until tbey bail something special to advertise. 11 was no use to advertise for men to come bere to buy land if it was held at itil'i' an acre. The letter was laid aside. The mayor brought up the question of the cily putting in four-inch sewer pipes from the street lines to Ihe buildings as far as lhe plumblt'g work began. This bad been spoken of some time ago. 11 was ilu night lhal the work might lie done by issuing live years debentures to cover the cost, and allowing the ratepayers to make repayments mi a frontage tax. It would he easier for tlie ratepayers and wuuld enable the Council to have the work done in a systematic manner. They would have to make it compulsory and in order to be effective every house must be connected. It would of enure require a bylaw. The cost of the pipe and superintendence be estimated al 10 cents a foot, and Mr, Sinclair hud offered to do the digging and lllling-in for 65 cents a foot. It would conic to about $i"> to $35 a lot. If anyone wished to pay the whole cosl withih 00 or 110 days be could do so. Aid. Kimberley objected to the proposed charge of 56 cents a foot for digging. Ue considered thai if a man wished to do lhe digging himself ami save expense be should be allowed lo do KO. The mayor said the idea was to have it done in ii satisfactory manner, Aid. Kimberley thought it might, in- done to the satisfaction of a city Inspector. The mayor said they would have to bold a special meeting to consider this matter and the question of tlie septic lank and calling tenders for it. Aid. stone. "Is the ground settled P" The mayor said thai it soon would be one way or lhe other, and there would be no lawsuits. Nor did he want any.

NEW COURTHOUSE NECESSITY Board of Trade Wants One to Include Registry Office-Ore Samples for Seattle Exhibit Asked For. The dog days are apparently having their clfect on the citizens of llevelstnke for lhe attendance Ht the board of trade meeting on Thursday evening was very slim. Nevertheless some mutters ol considerable Importance were considered, among which the most important were tbe erection of a new courthouse which should also include a In nd registry ollice; and a special mineral exhibit for the Seattle fair. W, M. Lawrence, the president, said he had been invited to meet Mr. Bowles of the C.P.R. in Vancouver to present tbe claims of the board on the question of better freight rates lor Kevelstoke; but the special committee appointed to look into the matter had done nothing, and he had no ollicial report to work on. He would see Mr. Bowles next. Monday or Tuesday when he was down at the coast. A. H. Allen suggested that they might ask to be put on as favorable a basis as Kelson in the matter of freight rates, and Mr. Lawrence might dig up some instances ol discrimination from his own experience. He would prohaly be going down to tbe coast about that time, and would try tn iicci inpauy Mr. Lawrence in his inter view .vith the C.l'.ll. officials. Th question ol a mineral exhibit at Seattle was brought up by a letter requei-'.ing the district to make an cxtiibi it lhe intcr-stiite (air in Spokane this Kail. 11. Gordon said that lie was unable to lind thut anything had been done towards getting a special exhibit of minerals tor the district at the Seattle fair. The Dominion of Canada exhibit waB one of the finest there, but Revelstuke was not represented in any way. He had received a letter from the commissioner asking if anything was proposed to be done. The opportunity to advertise the district was a good one. Tbe Dominion government would pay tbe Ireignt to Seattle, and the Provincial government would pay tbe freight from surrounding districts to Revelstoke. It would be a permanent exhibit that would afterwards be taken to the Mines departmeit at Ottawa. It was an offer from the Dominion government they would never get again aud they should take advantage of it. Just now tlie prospects for mining iu the district were brighter than they had been for a long time and they should not, even at this late date, neglect this opportunity to advertise their resuurces. Willi the views expressed by Mr. Gordon the board heartily concurred, and it was decided tu ask the press tu uige property owners in the district ti bring in hand samples without delay and leave them at the courthouse, so that the exhibit might be shipped by about the 21stof the pies- nt mouth in a little later. Mr. Lawrence reported that thi special committee on fruit exhibit at the Calgary lair had taken up tin nm' ter with tbe Council, but the time was tuo Bhort and they were unable to get it together. Besides it would not have been of mucb service from a commercial standpoint as be under stood tbat practically all, the local strawberries would bo needed in town this year. The subject of the establish men I 0 a local land registry ollice was brought up by A. B, McCleneghan. " It seems to me," he remarked, "tbat we are hardly going about in the right way. We ought to have a land registry ollice, and wc might easily expect Irom the Provlnolal government a new court hnuse, but I don't think we can get one without the other. Wo should offer a suggestion to thu government Unit tbey might build a new courthouse and include a land registry ollice in it." Mr, Gordon agreed tbat they would hardly be likely to put in a land registry ollice without anolher courthouse Some time ago he bad asked the public works engineer for money to paint and repair the present courthouse, and be had advised him to spend no more money on it. It was certainly inu dilapidated condition It bad suttlcd su that the tower was out ol plumb and sume of the doors had sagged. A new courthouse would certainly be needed soon, and if tbey could get u laud registry otlice with it so mucb the better. It wiih pointed out that the govern ment was building new courthouses in other parts ol the province, and it was something that should certainly he done here. Finally it was decided tn ask the press to keep the matter befure the public, snd it will he dealt with hy the Hoard at a special meeting to bu held later. The secretary, II. Cunningham Morris, was instructed to renew the free write-up for the town In "Oppor tuiiities ol Canada," a bouklet published by the Heaton Advertising Agoncy of Toronto. A letter was received Irom F. 0. Gamble, public works engineer, saying lhat the question ol the establishment ol a land registry ollice was under consideration, and that tbo construe lion ol a road to Kight mile (alls would he reported upon.

PHONE 118 Zbc flfoaiUlherafo SATURDAY, JULY IU, 190H \CT, AND ACT QUICKLY Almost exactly thirty days huve passed since the ratepayers ol Revelstoke voted down the by-law to riiiM. t,0,00J ior school purposes. In that by-law the question of securing a site for another school, and buying out alien rights in the present school site was confused with other issues, Buch as the expense of building a new school, and the problem oi location, and this no doubt largely accounted for its defeat. Subsequently the school trustees secured from Mr. Sproat ■ui extension till August ::i of their option to purchase Block 52 in front nf the present.school, to acquire his rights in the closed -treet and lane running through the present school Bites, ami to purchase Block 58 the triangular piece of laud adjoining the High Bchool, Half the sixty daye illottedb) Ian for the ibn -- in i a new i'i. iw after the leleat of the last have passe I and I - • . ti • that some ictioi should bi taken without lela or the i .'.;■ will find :■•■ li i| igainsl • greati _ ... ol expense in the near futbre, - ■ al pr tit i- this Thi Higl bo -• i- .rn tt'ynn -■•••■ ; to the b eil is a street, ....

It i- therefore, essential that these ri__.'111.- should bo bought out. ind it it • run., mosl desirable thai Block ',2 should also be purchased lor use, either as a future -i liool site nr i- ii present reoreation ground. Al present High school pupil- during recess must either piny mi the Street or sit -iii the sidewalk, an intolerable condition in any progressive town. All that i- asked for the purchase o/ this whole block and Judge Bproat'i right- in the High school sue and the lane running through the Public school site is 16,500, oi which il 000 il for the purchase of Block os and rights in the present si tee, and f 5,600 for lilocks'-i. the only block unbuilt on and intact in the centre ol the townsite and should the piesenl option be allowed to lapse there is nothing lo prevent the owner from subdividing and selling it in lots, and the city's opportunity will he gone forever. t Mice the land is built upon, the difficulty of acquiring it is increased ten-fold, and even if it still remained unbuilt upon, its value is sun- to advance. In Vancouver during the past year blocks for school purposes have been purchased at prices ranging from $20,000 to $ 10,000 which five years befure could have been purchased for n tenth of that amouut. While Hevelstoke may not increase as fust as the terminal city it is hound to continue to grow with the development of the province, and its land values will advance proportionately. Apart from thu question of the purchase of Block 52, that of acquiring Judge Sproat's rights in Block 53 is a most pressing one. If he secures an injunct;on compelling the city to remove the High school from his land, in what position will the city be ? lt is true that it may resort to expropriation, but that will prove an annoying and expensive process. Our advice is buy now while the present chance lasts. Before a by-law can be submitted it is necessary that a petition should be circulated and the. signatures of fifteen per cent, of the ratepayers secured who will be willing to act as bondsmen for the expense of submitting the by-laws if tbey fail to pass. Wc believe that there are enough public spirited citizens in Revelstoke to do this if properly approached, nor do we think that if tho matter were presented to the ratepayers free from all oilier entanglements, that there is the least danger that they wuuld fail to endorse it. That the position may be perfectly clear, so that there can be no confusion or misapprehension, it would be necessary to submit two by-laws, one for the purchase oi Judge Sproal's rights in the present i-chool ,-itcs. and the other for the purchase of liluck 12. Action in this matter Bhould be taken without delay. We would suggest as an initial step tbat the Council appoint a man to visit personally the ratepayer- with a petition for the submission oi the by-lawB and that be Becure as many signatares as possible. Then the by-laws could be prepared and submitted in the brieiest poi form. The sum to be voted on would not be large, but the - quences oi that vote would be fraught with tremendous significance for the future of tl ■ tional institutions ol the ' I he citisens have a In idy voted by plebisi ite in favor oi ei trailing their education t ind the by laws propose : would give t In-ill in lo carry •nt' wish into effei I Let the -..-._■ • in tbeir dm ■ tots md their Iren The student ba ■ d . nnol levelop to tht ■ rived ol imped ■ Is lo ■' pn in- '■ I ■ inu-- iii i\ hit ii i.e deli (live the children the opportunity In develop lhe best Unit is in them; lav the foundations for larger and belter educational institutions now; and the city and the stale will reap the benelit a hundredfold iii the years to come. SAMU I'll A.M I'LAIN. ''France Bent many knaves, fools and adventurers to Canada. In Champlain she sent one of her few men." Thus tersely docs a recent historian sum up the charucecr of the man, the tercentenary of whose life lias been celebrated during the past week on the shores of the lake that bears his name. It was certainly litting tbat prominent representatives of Great Britain, the I'niled States, Canada and France should take part in tlie commemoration, for in territory owned by each of these nations today, he played an heroic part, In reality the greatest honor was done Cham- plain in tlio tercentenary celebration of the founding of the city of Quebec a year ago, for it was on duly o, KiO.s, that Champlain cast anchor by the rock on the St. Lawrence and laid the foundations of the city that he called Quebec, and Quebec was the root from which early Canada Bprang. The story of Champlain's life reads like a romance. Brave, chivalrous, yet entirely rational, be became early possessed of the wanderlust, nor could all the temptations of the luxurious court of France ever detain him long from tbe wonderful new world whose mysteries he loved to explore. Many of his adventures, it is true, proved disastrous, such as the attempt to settle the island of St. Croix, where half his small force perished from scurvy within a year, hie first winter at Quebec, where two-thirds were stricken down, and hir alliance with the Algonquin Indians against the Iroquois so fraught with coming trouble. But whether fighting the Indians, exploring new territory, or laying the foundation oi future cities, this purpose burned within him like an unquencionable dame—to spread civilization in the wilds and to Christianize the people already there. At heart Champlain was a deeply religious man. One of the most beautiful incidents of his life, w i- bis devotion to the wife he had married as a young girl, and wno afterwards came out lo .-hare with him the carer and hardships of bis life the west Her beauty . , . ii.- ii.: tbe remained i-iit ,' me : .

In this calm and "peace the truly religious nature of Chum- bcrlin must have drunk of on deepest happiness; and when, its Christmas Day, 1635, the bell from the tower of the Jesuit Mission told to the little settlement on the St. Lawrence that its founder and many times savior had passed awav, though many hearts wen- sad, many rough souls were made better by the memory of the noble life that had been lived among them. We are glad to see that steps have been taken towards holding a Fall Fnir. Tbis will be at least one day in the year when Revelstoke district, will be able to show what it oan produce, and by iut-.it ing competition all exhibitors will be encouraged to excel, ll is to be hoped that the exhibits will include n good mineral display, so that the wealth bidden in the earth can be seen in conjunction with that grown above it. All citizens should show their interest in their own locality by helping the fair along in every possible way. The Board of Trade requests that hand samples of ore from claims in Kevelstoke and surrounding districts be left at the Court House to make up a special exhibit for the Seattle Fair. This is a request th.it it is in the interests of all claim holders tocomply with, since it will give them the best possible advertisement for their properties without costing them a cent. They should, therefore, bring in tlieir samples without delay, so that as much of the remaining time of the fair may be utilized as possible. Those best informed believe the district is on the dawn of a brighter day for its mining industries, and no opportunity should be lost to make its possibilities known.

IIkk ii.u Slit,—Please allow me apace through the columns of your valuable paper for a little comment and question on matters pertaining to the welfare ol our cili/.ons. Aa we Canadians enjoy the freedom ol speech iu public and the press, I, aa one of the pioneer.-. here, with some experience in the work have watched with keen Interest the way the buaincas of thia city has been transacted. Now as a ratepayer 1 deem it, iny duty to mention jiiBt a few items ol importance. Kirst, why were tenders not called lor to supply those ornamental treea for the city? Why were those overgrown birches planted in the (rust anil snow, dead trees, the people's money wasted by had management? The remedy is to plant trees of the right aim- in proper season. Again, why did the Mayor not see to it t1 at the city bad pro- cuicd the water rights belore having those large ewslly ditches dug lor the box drains, and not blunder intu public worka fooliahly wasting our taxes, affecting the sewer work, and ciiuaing trouble? Again, why did other lumbermen ol the diatrict not supply lumber for these box drains, and why ia there no inapector tu cull what ia not sound? How waa the bargain made, who looka after the city's interest? Considerable rotten timber ia being used in the box drains, and several people have noticed the eanie. Why were those street crossings that were only put in laat year, lately broken? They were cedar when they cuuld and should have been Iir. Why should a man supplying this city material aa a shareholder in the same be allowed a aeat in the city council, only to break tiie Municipal Act ol this province' That act should be enforced or repeal ed. Now, last but net least, comes the eewer pipe Ior works ol no small importance costing about $100,000, and the ratepayers may sweat a long time to pay it? Do they not expect good strong pipe, that will clean and laat to be laid in, and not material that will criiinbie liko Johnny cake? Is there no binding contract made? The writer ia not an expert on pipe and invitos anyone interested to seethe tiimplea he has and notice the contrast. Where ia the Mayor and the Ch irman of tlie Public Worka Committee? Do they not reiliBe the responsibility involved in the offices they hold? The question is how long will the borrowing powers of the city last with an administration, like some ol the timber in the drain, rotten to the core. Ia it any wonder tlie citizens voted down all money bylawB on June 11? They have been bit and are getting wise and would be likely to turn down any money bylaws placed before them by the powers that be. It was considered a non-confidence vote. Now, Mr. Editor, should anyone reply iu a newspaper let them have the manhood to sign their proper names. Revelatoke needs more Daniels and lesB Ananiases. The writer of these lew, iitraight, plain pointers, hus the courage of hia conviotiona to sign bis proper name. Roiikiu Tapping, July 7, l'JOll.

The Buffalo were lirst gathered iuto a large corral, and from thia were driven by the Indiana and cuwboya employed into loading chutes that led into waggons provided with cages to bold them. From these cages they were afterwards loaded into the r.iil- way oars. Once or iwice portions of lie herd rather than he driven into the loading chutes rushed blindly into tbe Fend o'Reille river and swam two miles down to escape (ruin the corral. At other times they rushed madly against the fences, the result beii.g death l'or -ome and escape lur others. One of the must thrilling experiences In oonneotlon with the wurk was that ul .Johnnie Decker, an expert luiind up rider, whose horse was impaled on the horns ol a buffalo and gored to death under him. Tbe story ie tuld thus by the Daily Missoulian: "Decker'e thrilling ride tu what seemed certain death occurred at Ro- nan, where the famous l'ablo herd of liuli'alo ia being rounded up fur trana- portatiiin to Ravalli and shipment to tbe Hand national park in Canada. Decker and his brother, who were cm- ployed as expert riders to corral the bison and aid in leadiug them into the cagea, in which they are being hauled from lloiiau to the railroad care at Ravalli, were endeavoring to drive the unruly bieou from the corral at Kniian int., the waiting cages when the herd, goaded to madness by the e orts ol the drivers to force them into the wagons rebelled and stampeded. Oue shaggy monarch of the herd, which Decker bad been trying to force through the loading chute, wheeled suddenly, lowered bis mttBaive head and, ir, blind fuiy charged toward the rider. Travelling with the speed ol tbe wind, almost, the beaat bore down on Decker'b horse. The rider waa unable to swing hia steed clear ol ibe beast's path und in an instant the horse wae impaled un the buffalo's horns. With an exhibition ol strength almost beyond belief the buffalo raised horse and rider fiom the ground aud halt carrying, half pushing them, bore them acrose the corral for a distance of 300 yards or more. "With almost certain death etariug Iii in in the face, Decker attempted to draw his revolvei from the bolster and kill the beaet. Hut the weapon caught aud his efforts tu release it were futile. While tbe five other riders, unable to lend their comrade any assistance, walched to see him go beneath the hoofa of the buffalo, Decker clung firmly to bis saddle aod struggled with hia revolver. Ju«t tben the buffalo stumbled and tbe gored horse and his rider were hurled from the horoa of tbe beaat into the dust. The horse never moved from where he fell but Decker, fortunately was thrown beyond tlie animal, aod aeide from a few bruises and a severe shaking up, escaped unhurt, t'ndaunted by hia narrow esoape, Decker mounted another horse and assisted bis brother uud the other drivers to force hie uu- ruly beast into a wagon cage in which he was safely transported from Kutian to the cars at Revalli." Another "Sunshine" Feature This is an entirely new idea, and will especially Interest people who reside in natural gas distiit ts. The gas ring takes the place of the lower Sunshine fire-pot, thus malting it possible tO hum gas in your furnace without Inconvenience. Such is not possible in a furnace where the ordinary gas log is inserted; for, should Ihe gas give out, a coal or wood fire could not he started until the gal pipes were disconnected. To provide against sweating in the summer time, Sunshine Furnace is equipped with a nlckeUed steel radiator and dome. All bolts and rivets are nickelled, all rods copper-plated. This .special treatment, besides meaning quicker and greater radiation from the radiator and dome than cold chill iron could possibly give, arts as protection for the bolts, rivets and rods from inroads of gas. When cast iron comes in contact with our nickelled steel it is Coated with our special Anti-Kust treatmentj which prevents the »ll gilt est possibility of rust commencing anywhere in Sunshine .Furnace.

Revelstoke Beaten, But Not Badly The Revelstoke Cricket Cluh bent a team to Vernon thia week to play their team on Monday and Vancouver Tuesday, but at tbe laat moment Vancouver scratched and both dayB saw matches with the home cluh. Vernon, expecting Vancouver, which they have- now visited twice, bad gathered its most representative team, and, though the local team waa minus, the services of Bourne, Brooker and Cooke, it made splendid but unsuccessful tigbta to win. Monday's match eaw Vernon make fc4, and Revelstoke 53; aud Tuesday tbe scorea were, Vernon 104, Reveletoke 91. Tuesday's match waa moat exciting. Reveletoke had nine, Vernon wicketa down for 8!) (two tie) and the last man took guard iu a bush ul expectancy—even ths Vernon band forgetting to play the tune it hail kept up all afternoon Revelstoke braced itself for a win, but, though bowlers and fielders did tlieir best, and it waa conceded by Vernon that nothing they had met waa better, it wae not to be. ai.d the score went to 104 for the finish, Aided by Vernon, the local team did its best to get a match up with Armstrong the lollowing day—Wednesday bul the weather and local railroad time table would not allow it, much to both sides' disappointment. The hospitality of Vernon ia proverbial, and as expressed by ite Cricket Club in the person of Mr. Meldrum, hon. secretary, and other niembera ol tbe team, it showed at ita heat, and left the imprearien on the Revelstok- ers of "the beet tune yet"—and "its up to ub." Every effort was made for the comfort and entertainment of the visitors, and the kindness of Mr. Raymond, host of the Kalamalka, was that of a parent. Revelstoke boya amongst themselves have cbristcnetl him "Daddy I" The care and comfort of the team at Sicamous wae well looked alter by Mr. Cougreve, of tho Hellevue, aod bia line new house waa theirs, coming and going. The team, though beaten, returned Wednesday night in the vety best of spirits, feeling tbey had done their beat and had lost well to a better side, which they hope opportunity will allow them to meet again. The business ol the local team was handled in a tiret-claas way by the energetic secretary, XV. H.Humphreys who allowed himscll aB much as ever au enthusiastic lover ul the game.
