The Hedley Rifle Association match .held Christmas Day was an interesting competition. In the early part of the match the light was good and the wind on its good behavior, but by the time the 400 yard range was reached a vigorous fish-tail breeze was in evidence that made steady scoring more difficult. On the whole the scoring was good, and again the club trophies changed hands. This time T. D. Pick- ard won them with a total of 66 points from F. M. Gillespie who was the winner in the last match. This is the highest aggregate that has yet been made at any of the club matches, although it has been beaten in practice. To decide the winner of the "medal, which was this time awarded "on the 800-and 400 yard ranges, the tie of 42 points between.Pickard and Rolls was shot off by mutual consent; and was won by Pickard whose shot was a ���������bulleye, while. Rolls scored a magpie. But an element of additional interest was given to the. contest in the handicap for the Chechakho Cup. The executive ..committee, in arranging the handicap, thought that they had- everyfching figured out on a just, and equitable basis that was mathematically correct, and yet the application of the bonus showed many, ludicrous features. The plan adopted, was to ascertain each man's average in all the matches in which he had shot. When this was clone'; it was found that 50 points, by L. C. W. Rolls, was the top average, and the difference" between-this and every other average, constituted the amount of bonus to be added to the lower man's score to bring him up to average. On this allotment the bonuses awarded were : Gillespie 1, Boeing 2, Bruce 3, French, Gladden, Gibbon and Pickard 4 each, Barnes 5, Forbes 0, Swan 7, Whillans 8, Megraw and Cootes 12, McEwen 10. The standing in the two matches was as fill lows; ���������m Geo. Bowerman whit was working on the Dividend mine on Ki-uger Mt. in which -he is interested with his brothers and a man named Anderson, came back on Saturday last. They have taken out considerable ore and have no room to stove any more until the railway is prepared to haul it away from Oroville. The Dividend is one of the old locations on Kvugev mountain and has nearly a thousand feet of development work done on it. The ore carries principally gold values and is in the main very rich. The main tunnel, on the property is 500 feet long and this work is connected with the upper tunnel where the present work is being clone by a raise which now answers the purpose of a chute for the. ore. The miners are working in the upper tunnel and are breaking down ore, which they take out through the , lower drift. The ore, which averages $20 to the ton, is being stored; "and as soon as the railroad reaches Oroyille it will lie shipped to the smelter. The owners have not decided yet where the ore will be sent, but think they will have it treated at Grand Forks. In fact the smelter at that place and the ��������� (hie at Newport���������now idle���������are the only plants with which the Great Northern has connections, and the excessive- charges for transfer to other roads- will force the mine owners to patronize one or the'other'Of these two smelters. The Dividend, property is on the Canadian side of the .boundary line. Oroyille is the nearest railroad station and will of course be the shipping point, but the tariff will preclude any likelihood of it over- being the supply point. That benefit will belong to Fairview. After shipping begins the force of men will be increased'and.-the payroll of the Dividend and other mining properties in the vicinity will become a'factor in adding to,the prosperity; of that section of the district. TheLakeyiew is another promising property in' that neighborhood, and from it has been taken' some of. the richest ore ever found in the.'district. The Lakeview is not.so well developed as. the Dividend, but with i,ts present The long-looked-for and much prophesied dissolution came on December 24th, when writs'were prepared and issued, making January 19th- nomination day and February 2nd the day on which the votes are to be'polled. While it leaves a limited margin of time for a large constituency,'yet it :s undesirable that these'affairs be mi-' duly prolonged. At best,, the. campaign is a season of strife and ill-feeling and the shorter it is made the better. BACHELORS' DANCE A dance that was semi-impromptu ���������being burridly got up���������was given by the bachelors in Fraternity Hall last year, on the 2Sth ult. About 80 or 40 guests were present. This number permitted ��������� greatei freedom of movement and did away with much of the crowding that detracted from former dances where the number was greater than the floor could accommodate with comfort to all concerned. The music was supplied hy Messrs- Rolls, Gibbon and Hill, and was eminently satisfactory to the dancers, while the floor was in prime condition. The committee also had a bun ton lunch served in the hall. S. S. ENTERTAINMENT excellent showing bids fair to become 0110 of the good properties pin that vicinity aud will likely become a .sliijj- per when the railroad is in operation. On K.ruger-mountain and its southern point, Goat Mountain, is located some of the. richest mining property in the country, and from the preparations now being made one is led to believe that there will be many shipping mines in the district before another year rolls around. ' The Sunday School entertainment of New Zears evening in the Methodist'church was a decided success, especially'1'roin the standpoint of the youthful mind: The scholars with their young friends, numbering in all 22 gathered together in the afternoon and enjoyed themselves with games, amusements and much noise. By the timethe.6 o'clock .whistle blew, all were seated about the supper tables, with mind intent, oh the things laid out before them, but destined soon to make a hasty union with the past, Later in the evening the parents and friends were welcomed by the children who carried out the programme, consisting of choruses, dialogues' and recitations with great credit to themselves. Following this was the introduction of the great wonder, "Jumbo" the children's friend, who evidenced his.gracious spirit.by calling the children up to take presents and other tokens of good " will 'froin his' mouth. Tin; elephant caused much merriment and surprise. Some of the children tried to cultivate relations , of familiarity, while others thought that "distance lenuX enchantment to the view" A very great deal of credit' is! due Miss Greenhill; upon whom fell the greater part'of the work-of>.getting .up the entertainment.

Gladden, Bruce, Gibbon, Barnes, Cootes and McEwen have not yet competed. In case they do, the above results may be changed somewhat. Among the kindly tokens of remembrance attendant upon the holiday season, by which our hearts are drawn out to absent friends, one which particularly called up old times was a card received from Dr. Mathison of Greenwood, upon which was photographed the front page of Volume L, No. I. of the Okanagan Mining Review, issued at Okanagan Falls on August l������th. 1893. Doubtless many of our readers are not aware- that Okanagan Falls ever had a, paper, but it had. The Gazette editor, then on the Vernon News, was one of the owners and contributed at long range to its editorial columns. The Review's editor, printer, devil and general factotum was Dr. Mathison, then a No. 1 printer. It ran for nearly three months and then went into the journalistic boneyard, the plant at length fetching up in Midway, where it finally printed the old Advance and went up in smoke in the fall of 1904. The story of that venture is too long to tell about just here, but later on when we have time and space and the reminiscent mood is present, we may tell some more of the. yarn that goes with the incident. This Keremeos Property, Recently Bonded for $50,000, Is Making Good. The Loomis Prospector thus refers to a recent strike made cm the Dolphin group at Keremeos. The miners at work on the claim kept the affair very quiet, as the news was not circulated around Keremeos until after Stevenson returned. The Prospector says : "H. Stevenson returned to Loomis Thursday last, and Friday morning left for the Dolphin group, in British Columbia, he recently bonded from J. M; Pitman. Mr. Stevenson was in Butte when he received word that the men he left working on the. claims had uncovered a. fine deposit of ore. He dropped everything and struck out at once for the camp. Mr. Stevenson had the property si'/ed up right before he closed the deal, and it now looks as though he knew what he. was talking about when he said the Dolphin was the making of a paying mine." SEMLIN TAKES WEST YALE At a Liberal-Conservative convention held at Ashcroft on Saturday last, C. A..Seiulin, the old veteran, was unanimously chosen to contest West- Yale. Seeing the complete unanimity that prevailed, Mr. Semlin accepted. In this move, Stuart Henderson must see his finish in West Yale, for the man doesn't walk who can beat Charlie Semlin in that riding. After over twenty years service the, Semlin verdict, even from opponents, is "Incorruptible and uncorrupted." THE HEDLEY GAZETTE, JANUARY' 3, 1907. IK and . Similkameen Advertiser. nien at the helm.

The present government have not done business tliat way. Last year they estimated the revenue from real and personal property, wild lands and income to produce Jj>850,0(R); it actually produced Jj>632;8!)0. Provincial revenue tax, they estimated, would give $150,000, ������,and it produced $157,000. Twice the Finance Minister has been able to announce substantial surpluses instead of the usual "deficit that had become, habitual under former administrations. Nor was this obtained by reason .of. any curtailment of necessary expenditure on public works below the estimate for that purpose,, for, on the contrary, while' the estimated expenditure forth e year was $2,03S, 285 the actual expenditure amounted to $2,652,196 or the slight excess of $13,911 During the fiscal year'��������� covered by the; last budget speech the, provincial debt has been decreased $164,18S. '. ' With a clear-headed' business -man like Capt. Tatlow in charge of-the finances of the province, and backed up by colleagues whose good sense and patriotism impel them to subordinate to a considerable, extent, the wants of their individual'departments to the general weal of the province, such! results could -only be accomplished. The financial condition of the province when they took hold .'demanded retrenchment, arid the first Step in that direction was to cut off sundry ornamental appendages from the salary list. Certain official favorites were cut off whose places were not filled,' as their duties were superfluous. Some were, let go whose, duties were distributed among others who had too little, to do. Others again whose salaries were' out of proportion to the service rendered were graded dowii, rind in this way a saving of some $20,000 was effected on the salary list alone. A re-adjustment of the assessment act provided more revenue and yet there are very few in this riding who can LET IT BE CLEAN. Full Moon 29th Lust quar. . 7th ft W New Moon m% nth yJr First quar.

The' editor believes, that the record of the present government has been such as to warranta. renewal of the support of all who have the best'interests of the province.at heart, and believing this, will do all in his power ti> secure that end so far as the employment of honorable means will permit. In'Mr. Shatford, Similka- nieeii has had a representative who J redeemed every pledge made by him | to the electors of this riding.

No unprejudiced person who has taken the trouble to-make himself conversant with the condition of affairs prevailing when the McBride government took control and to contrast it with that existing to day can do otherwise than admit that the province has at Last been iii the hands of a.business government, who could and did. look after its affairs in a business way. Shallow individuals like W. C. Wells may have the affrontery to claim that all was clear sailing for the administration, and advance the fanciful reason that the Fraser river bridge had been cbih- pleted before the government came into power, and that public works iii general required little attention. That claim on his part, however, was effectively dealt with by the Minister of finance', who showed up the mis-statement very much to Mr. Wells' discomfiture, for Mr. Wells in 1902 had been largely instrumental in floating a loan of 8i millions which the loan act authorizing the flotation, specified was to be used, 1st for the payment of the very heavy overdraft then existing, 2nd, to the payment of the Fraser river bridge', and 3rd the balance to be paid into revenue account. Instead of things panning out as the loan act provided for, the 3A millions were gone, the treasury was $72,000 behind, and the McBride government had to pay out $550,006 to complete (he Fraser river bridge, as well as $200,000 additional for other public works left uncompleted by their predecessors. The.precarious position of British Columbia's finances was brought home to the government at a very early stage, for even after the writs had been issued for the general election, it was found that obligations maturing compelled an earlier meeting of the House than the writs that had been issued provided for. The province had reached the liniit'of its borrowing power, and the bunks were disposed to tighten. Fortunately for the province some bankers had abiding faith in its capabilities, and faith also in the business abilities and integrity of the compare their taxes with those, of former years and say that any material increase has been made in the amount paid. But the greatest benefit derived has been in the restored confidence which has been secured as the result, for investors Jll'������ no longer afraid to risk their inbriey in this province. They have seen that there is no longer any tinkering with the mining laws and they see a capable govern merit that will insist upon Maintaining a safe margin between revenue arid expenditure and getting full value for every dollar expended. That is mainly why confidence' has been restored. Our friends the enemy are trying to hurrah themselves into a semblance of enthusiasm because of the report that Billv Mclnnes is giving up the Governorship of the Yukon to throw in his lot with J. A. McDonald's forlorn hope. Mclrines was with them in the last election and was also with them in the House for two sessions. Possibly he was only lance-corporal then and John Oliver lieutenant, but now the. leader says that Billy is to he lieutenant. Meanwhile it is up to them to explain what is the quid pro quo which induced him to throw up $10,000 a year in the Yukon to accept a lieutenancy in the. forlorn hope. The public get curious about these little things, you know. plain of any treatment which he may receive from the Gazette, for nothing will appear m.these columns 'concern-' in'g him, unless it be. abohitcly true. To be dishonest iii aiguineht, we hold to be every whit as bad as to be dishonest in business, and the man, who will deliberately state what is not true to make a point, would*also' tell a lie in a business deal to get a dollar which does not belong to him. Abuse is not argument, and the Gazette will neither employ .such, nor will it deign tcr notice such from-others; We are all .neighbors 'together aiid if we cariiiot see alike irP politics that is no reason why any unnecessary rancor should enter into the contest. Every elector has a right to his opinion and also aright to express it; but if his opinion, is worth any thing, he will give it in decent language'and over his, own name. The public are not foolish enough to believe the statement of any one wlio is afraid to put his name to what he may wish to say; The Government goes to the country on its record ; so also does the representative of the Similkameen. By that record, too, the Gazette is content to stand, 'Therefore nothing falser nothibg anonymous, nothing abusive or. low will be allowed in these columns during the contest. Others mav,employ such methods if they see fit; If they do they are welcome to ait the advantage they may ob'ta-iri therefrom; This course which we have outlined for the Gazette is the one which we believe the public will approve, arid whether they do or not, it is the course which Ave mean to follow, lie- cause it is the right one.

Tunis, and spent the evening with Mrs. Innis, sr., coining on next day to Hedley, where they remained a couple of days with Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Forbes. Mr. Clark has a weakness for 'mettlesome, stock, find tliey started off oil 'Saturday lnbrnihg with Mi*. Chirk hanging on to the lines behind a pah-of semi-rebels. ! There is, tit the present time; consider -able annoyancefelt in town oyer the incident by which a miner from: the Nickel Plate lost ti roll of money, when inci're or less intoxicated. Suspicion rested strongly, on one ptirtv who has apparently smelt--, a" rat and taken -himself off. Whether he may get awtiy with all of the swag remains to be seen. Meanwhile that sort of thing does trie town no good. In -trie past, wncn miners came down off the hill arid "went large a bit," very little notice was .taken, of the circumstance unless they became too unruly; but while townspeople wets' disposed to be more or less indulgent with tlie weaknesses of the miners themselves, thev do not believe in allowing them to be fleeced bv bilks who won't work for themselves, but lie. in wait for the hard-earned shekels of those who do work.
