This lady has been dazzling the people of Hamilton, Ont., by a .series of seances to crowded houses, junking the hair stand on end by her wonderful revelations. She asks her hearers lo write any question they my desire, on a piece of paper which they are allowed to hold in their hand,- while she. on the stage in a hypnotic state, calls out their names, answers questions and gives advice. ' At one of these meetings Richard Russell was present, and the Hamilton Review (pinkun) tells the rest. ���������'On L'Yidav last one of the most Mr. and Mr.������. .1. R: C. Cootes entertained a number of friends at their residence on Webster Street on Wednesday, the 7th, by way of celehrating the ]0th anniversary of their wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Cootes are good entertainers, and the company enjoyed a particularly pleasant evening. Progressive Hearts took up the time until supper, after which some othei and new features that' afforded pleasant diversion were engaged in. Among these was that of horse-racing with sonic of its modern 'concomitants of pool-selling etc., which were most unique in their apt- imitation of tho real thing. Tho presents of tinware were also most interesting, comprising everything from a large handsome bathtub to a nutmeg grater. If the next forty years deal as kindly with Sir. and Mrs. Cootes as the past ten have, they will celebrate a healthy vigorous golden wedding. The New C. P. R.

'��������� Will I be successful in obtaining the capital to carry through the enterprise in which I,am engaged and will it be a success." ���������>��������� The answer came quickly. ���������' You- will- get the capital soon. Then you must sink the shaft to live or six hundred feet and drift to the right fifty or sixty feet, and you will encounter a very hard' place, so hard that you can scarcely get through it, but when you do,-you will find, the, richest -mine iii panada.' Miss Fay was quite excited and Mr. Pingree, the'..manager, asked "Where is this property?" and the reply was "Fair- view, British Columbia." Shortly after,'. Miss Fay told S. S. King in reply to a question "Where shall I invest to get large returns r ", "to buy the Fairview, British Columbia, mining stock as it was a splendid investment.'" Mr. Russell has lived in Hamilton all his life until about eight years ago when he became president and managing director of the Fair- view -corporation, a large mining and land company in British Columbia. A reporter called on him at his office in the Sun Life.Building. Mr.-Russell, informed him that he had written the question four days before and was more than surprised when it was answered. On Saturday morning he wrote further questions to Miss Fay, and the answers received on Monday morning were wonderful, as not only were the questions answered fully, but information given relative to a. sale of a large interest in. the property, which no one The Vernon Okanagan thus describes the new steamer that the 0. P. R. will place in commission on Okanagan Lake: "Work will be started 'probably within a week, on the new .steamer that the C. P. R. propose building at the Landing for the Okanagan Lake service. The steamer will be the largest of any the C. P. R. have in the Interior, not excepting any of their fine fleet in the Koofenays. She will measure 230 feet over all, -with 40 ft.. beam, and will have GO first class state rooms, and spacious saloon and dining hall. The engines will be 21 in. x S ft. and will "be of 1,000 horse power, which will give an average speed of 20 knots an hour. When the new steamer is completed, likely some 'time in July, she will make'a daily trip each way between the Landing and Penticton., The old Aberdeen will then be used principally as a tow for the two S-car capacity freight barges that are now being built. The new boat will cost ninety thousand dollars, and with the additional docks and barges, the C. P. R, will spend at the Landing, in the next few months, about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The ship carpenters, numbering seventy-five, will be brought from Nelson just as soon as tho new C. P. R. steamer there is finished, which, it is expected will be in a week or two. T. M. GULLEY & CO.

White, who is "old father probs" at the Nickel Piate has a crow to pick with the Gazette for doing him out of ten degrees of weather last week on two successive days. The Gazette pleads guilty, but then the 'phone was working so wretchedly that day that Mr. White's dulcet tones, usually so mellow, (no inferences meant) sounded as raucous over the wires as Pete Heldstab's hurdy gurdy go-devil at a charivari, and 31 sounded very like 21. Last week they had delightful weather at the mine all week. The diamond drill has commenced work on the Humming bird for J. J. Marks. Last week the Spokane drilling Co. who had made the arrangements to do drilling for Mr. Marks wanted to take the drill to the Nickel Plate, having made a contract with the Vale Mining Co. to do some further explorntorv work for them. Mr. Marks, however, wouldn't stand for this and entered a vigorous kick against the owners of the drill With the result that, it was not taken off his ground. It appears, however, that it was not the intention of the Spokane Drilling Co. to jump the job and go back o.. their arrangement with Mr. Marks, but merely to borrow that particular drill for work on the Nickel Plate until such time as they could get in another drill lo do the work on the Humming-bird. ( From Our Special Correspondent) The Legislature has under consideration several important bills at the present time. One of these is the proposal to authorize the establishment of a MeGill University College in the province. The bill to provide for this was introduced by the Minister .of Education, who explained that although there was an "act passed sixteen years ago to provide for a university nothing had been done towards establishing such an institution. He explained McGill's object, which was at the first to consist of two full years in arks, two full years in ������������������pplied science and a course in chemistry and biology, looking to a. medical course. It was expected that the course would from time to time be extended. The bill while iu committee came in for some considerable criticism on the part of Victoria's members, who apparently are sore because MeGill University has decided to .locate the college in Vancouver. In the course of the discussion it wa.s brought out that MeGill so far has'.asked for no monetary aid from the Government. If it were asked, later the Minister of Education said it would be considered on its merits. A plea was put forth that the establishment of'such an institution would preclude the possibility of ever establishing .a university in British Columbia and that it would also shut out other universities from seeking similar*'rights in the province. The members of the Government denied that airy such result would follow, i Premier McBride intimated that there was no intention of shutting out othei* universities, on the contrary the Government would welcome all institutions that would come seeking similar After an illness of about a year and a half, Eleanor Hazel, beloved wife of Dr. Morton D. McEwen, of Hedley, formerly House Surgeon of Vancouver General Hospital, passed away at nine o'clock on Thursday morning last, at the age,of2(). Although but young in years lliuch work had been crowded into her short life and her labor and strength spent for the good of others. Deceased Avas the third daughter of R. J. Stitt of Vancouver. She first qualified for a public school teacher, taking the various examinations, but never taught. At the age of 21 she entered upon a .course of nursing and graduated as a professional nurse at the end of.three years, after which she had many difficult cases that made serious inroads upon'her strength. A severe attack of-typhoid'fevcr left her in a very weakened condition, and before she had regained sufficient strength she went back to nursing. Card of Thanks. Mrs. Stitt wishes to' express to the people of Hedley her affectionate gratitude for their unfailing kindness to her beloved daughter, Mrs. ;,lcEwen, and would assure them that the loving sympathy shown by so many has been of great comfort in this time of deep sorrow. powers. It was stated that Sir William McDonald had promised $3000 a year for a 'term for the college, while it was likely this might be increased if the needs demanded it. Price Ellison has introduced a bill to make it possible that private persons or companies may make connection with any telephone line or lines autb orized by act of the Legislature. The bill provides also that the rales to be charged by the line connected with shall be fixed by the Lieut.-Governor- in-Council in unincorporated districts and by the municipal council in incorporated districts. Another provision is made in the bill by which the rates to be charged by all telephone companies shall be subject, to revision by the Lieut.-Governor-iii-Couneil or the municipal council according to whether the companies operate in unincorporated districts or municipalities. The bill introduced by J. 1:1. Haw- thornthwaite to amend the Provincial Elections Act by fixing the deposit of candidates at $50 instead of $200 as at present, passed its second reading on a close division, the vote being : Yeas : Messrs. Tanner, Davidson, Hall, Hawthorntiiwaito, Williams, McBride. Wilson, Bowser, A, McDonald, Garden, Taylor, V\ right. Young, Gilford, Macgowan, Manson���������-10. Nays: Messrs. King, Brown, Murphy, Jones, Oliver, J. A. Macdonald, Henderson. Munro, Paterson, Cameron, Tatlow, Cotton, Ellison, Fulton, Grant���������15. When the bill comes into committee it is likely that important changes will be made in it. Mr. Bowser will move to make it $100, and other changes will undoubtedly be proposed. Among the bills which have passed their second reading during- the week is the one to incorporate the Southern Okanagan Railway Co. The bill was introduced by A. H. B. Macgowan of Vancouver, A member who ever since his visit to the Similkauieen has taking charge of a bad case of tuberculosis, thus getting into her system, by infection, the deadly germs, for consumption was a thing unknown in her family. Although declining in general health, no special lung trouble was' apparent in the earlier stages, and not until two specialists had decided was it recognized that the case was serious. In April last she was hi ought to Hedley iu a very weak condition, thc'difficult trip by stage proving most trying. By September the improvement was so marked that hopes for recovery which had been abandoned earlier, were-restored. It was only the skilful treatment and constant, care' which she received, combined with her own marvellous vitality, which kept her alive so long, for with the late fall the disease, which could not be checked, had continued to make rapid headway and had greatly, reduced her strength. Through it all she was- most cheerful and 'uncomplaining and always considerate of those about her, for her own knowledge as a professional nurse enabled her to understand the cares of those waiting upon her. Although young in years, her life of toil in ministering to others as well as her own long illness seemed' to have developed a beautiful character. Too ill when she came to Hedley, to go about, her personality nevertheless'appealed to the people and made for her warm friends. During her illness her sisters, Mrs. C. F. Cotton and Mrs. Hunt, of Vancouver, and Miss Garcia Stitt, came to Hedley to see her. Miss Stitt accompanied her to Hedley and remained for.three months and Mrs. Cotton was here for over a .month. Her mother, Mrs. Stitt. remained with her most of the summer, returning to Vancouver in September, and came back again early iu January, remaining with her until the end came. Miss Elliott, nurse, assisted Dr. McEwen in the long watches of the. weeks-preceding the end. The funeral on Saturday was very largely attended. Dr. McEwen .and Mrs. Stitt and family have the heart-felt- sympathv of the town in their loss. Concluded on Paso Four. The. following verses were received by Mrs. McEwen last November from a friend in the east and were greatlv prized by her. An additional interest is lent to them when it is known that the friend who sent them died three weeks ago after a week's illness, HON' VOVAOK.

Mr. Peter Scott, an old tinier in the Camp, who still has important mining interests here, came in on Tuesday's stage. Mi*. Scott is a prominent member of the Kingston Company and has several other valuable holdings besides. The Maple Leaf Club will give a masquerade ball in Fraternity Hall on March 16th. St. Patrick's Day comes on Saturday this-year and the eve was therefore considered a more suitable night to blend the maple leaf with the shamrock in a social dance. F. H. French, manager of Shatford's Limited returned on Tuesday's stage after an absence of something over two weeks. He was in Fairview most .of the time but paid a visit to his parents in Vernon before returning. F. Revely has had difficulty getting men tb cut ice. the; Daly Reduction Co. having picked up most of those who were unemployed, in pushing forward some surface work. Work has not been very plentiful this winter and when tho ice. harvest winds up this week, there will again be the usual sprinkling of unemployed. - Govt. Agent Hunter of Princeton was in town this week. Mr. Hunter was so modest that he couldn't take any credit that didn't belong to him. A few weeks ago the Gazette gave him credit for letting tax-payers here have a brief respite, but he has confessed that on that particular occasion he had cleaned up everything in sight before we saw him. Tho 0. P, Ii. have been letting out men on their Nicola-Spenoe's Bridge wot*!'.. A few of them have been drifting through, L'Hind for the Great Northern camps down the valley. If the C. P.

A little over a year ago the Gazette congratulated its nearest journalistic neighbor on the west on being successfully ' launched on the sea of matrimony. Now our next nearest neighbor, Bio. Fred Fine of the Oroville Gazette has been andjgone and done it, having been married last week in Spokane to Miss Salina Campbell. Our heartiest congratulations are extended. And now the Gazetie is matrimonially happy on both sides. The Gazette had a pleasant call yesterday from Bro. Wright of the Si- milkanieeh Star who was paying the town a short visit. Mr. Wright was much impressed with evidences of progress made even during the interval since his last visit, some five months ago. Here we see buildings going up one and two at a time with no rush, and we do not notice it like those who see the town only at , intervals of several months and who are struck with the changes made. A wholesale stationery concern in Vancouver is soliciting retail job printing through towns in the interior of the province and is thus trying to do local publishers out of the trade which naturally belongs to them. On the circular letter sent out puffing the praises of British Bond Linen, the head margin is five points wide at one corner and 17 at the other. Possibly it was that sort of blacksmith work in the city that has made it necessary for them to seek fresh fields and pastures new. Keep your job printing at home. ..Hedley Meat. Market.'.

The proposal to alter the deposit of candidates for the legislature from $200 to $50 failed. The bill was' introduced by J. H. Hawthornthwaite and was not a. straight party question. Although in a House'of thirty-one members the bill passed its second reading by a majority of one, it was defeated later after going into committee. The Minister of Finance, who Was strongly opposed to the measure, moved as a, test that the committee rise. The motion carried and the bill was killed. ��������� i The opposition leader during the discussion of the bill suggested that it might be wise to do away with the deposit altogether and provide that only representatives of a majority vote should be allowed to take their seats, elections being held until a candidate received a majority vote. John Houston expressed astonishment at the proposal being made to introduce, a German system of voting in preference to an English system. On a bill introduced by the Chief Commissioner to prohibit absolutely the export of timber from British ' Columbia to the United States, the leader of the opposition introduced an aniendment to provide, for the export . of inferior grades of timber. The Government would not accept this amendment. It was pointed out that to open the door at all to the export of any classes of timber would result in trouble. The United States mill men were not seeking the inferior grades hut what they wanted was also the first class timber. If any class was allowed to go over,_ a way would | be found to evade the law. The policy of the Conservative party was pointed out to be the conserving of the lumber industry to British Columbia. The United States, by a high tariff system, Mr. Bowser pointed out when the bill was under discussion, had closed the British Columbia market to the republic and also to all its dependencies. If the timber were allowed to be shipped into the United States it would again come into competition with the provincial mills in the markets of the Northwest Territories. The amendment was voted down. Hon. Mr. Green informed tho House however, that he intends later to introduce a bill to provide for tho scaling <>f logs. The Midway <& Vernon Amendment Act is still before the Legislature pending a solution of the question satisfactory to all sides. The bill, which has passed the Railway Committee jind also its second reading and been committed in the House, provides for the extension of the time for completion of the line to Dec. 31st, 1910, to build branches to Penticton and to Kamloops, It also contains the following section: ; "The Midway & Vernon Railway' L. W. SHATFORD, Secretary and flanager, HEDLEY, Company is hereby .declared to be, and to have been since the 11th May, 1901, a body corporate and politic under the name of ���������'The- Midway and Vernon Railway Company," with all the rights, powers and privileges granted and conferred by the Company's Act of Incorporation, viz., the "Midway & Vernon Railwav Aid Act, 1902," and the "'Midway & Vernon Railway Act, 1901, Amendment Act, 190i." The Premier proposes to add the following section to the bill on report: "Nothing in this Act contained shall be held to extend, vary or in any way affect the provisions of the said "Midway & Vernon Railway Aid Act, 1.902," regarding the earning of aid by the said Company under said Act or this granting of aid to said Company under said Act." .1. H. Haw thorn thwaite proposes to move a section as follows : "Should the Midway & Vernon Railway Company fail by this Act to obtain confirmation of its rights as " a body corporate and politic," then the province shall take over any and all lines of railway constructed by the said Company and pay all just debts incurred for actual construction of same." The bill is standing over in the meantime in an effort'to solve all the difficulties which present themselves in the legislation before the House. To make good bread -ybii must have good flour. If you want the best bread you must use the best flour. T H E CO MERCIAL HEDLEY, B.C.
