Now that the Great Northern is coming sure, just hustle in your jobs of  office stationery into the Gazette print  shop and get ready for your share of  the rush.  Hedley was in holiday attire to welcome the large throng of visitors who  came in to help in the celebration of  Labor Day. A plentiful use of evergreens and bunting was made and the  effect produced was most pleasing.  Visitors were here from Oroville,  Osoyoos,, Fairview,' Okanagan Falls,  the lower Similkameen, Keremeos and  Green Mountain, while Granite Creek,  Princeton and Copper Mountain in the  west were represented.  The forenoon on Monday,was to have  been taken up with the rifle contest,  but the'wishes of townspeople generally were for postponement. The main  feature of Monday afternoon was the  baseball match between  Oroville- and  Hedley.   For more than a week, preceding the game the impression  became general that no team would show  up to compete for the $200 prize,  and  Hedley players began to scatter about.  The result was that when  it became  known on Saturday that Oroville team  were coming, a scratch team had to be  got together to play the game.    For  the first time this season   W. P. Rod-  gers was in the box for Hedley,   but  the difficulty was to procure a catcher  who could hold him.   Donnard, who is  working in the Nickel Plate mine, did  fairly well but was clearly out of form  and many ,of the/bases obtained by  -Oroville'were due to fumbles behind  the bat which would not have occurred  if he had practiced and had been otherwise in form.   The Oroville battery,  the   Bartell brothers,  played a very  good game and. were"for the most part  fairly well supported by the field, -although the pitcher was batted freely  at times.    For Hedley, Rodgers, Mott,  Messenger and McQueen played steady  ball.   Skewing, at third,  made' clean  pick-ups and threw promptly to bases  but was  inclined   to   throw   a   trifle  strong.    In batting, Rodgers had hard  luck in being twice caught out on long  flies.    Mott,   Messenger,   Bragg   and  Skerving also laid on the wood with  commendable   regularity,    but   there  was some loss from  too risky  base-  running and considerable  loss  in   nn-  hatched runs from men being left on  bases.    Hedley obtained a substantial  lead at the very off-set, getting in four  runs in the first inning.    When  Nell; Flank,  Billy.     Winners,  Mack  first,. Billy second.  FOOT RACES.

V. V. & E.  BEFORE RY.   COM.  Similkameen & Keremeos  Paper  pany Tries to Stop It.  Corn-  Ottawa, Aug. 29.���������An echo of the  long parliamentary fight of last session  was heard before the railway commission today when the V.V.& E. railway  applied for approval of their location  plans. Mr. Aylesworth, K.O., for the  Similkameen <te Keremeos. railway,  vigorously objected to the proposed  location on the ground that it would  take Up 37 miles of that company's  right of way. Mr. McGiverin, for the  V. V.��������� &' E., told the board that his  company had spent over two and a  half millions and-wanted approval of  its plans for further extensions. The  other company, he said, had done nothing and practically existed only on  paper. If the V. V.- & E. could not get  the right of way it would be tied up  altogether. Mr. Aylesworth in reply  stated^that after getting its charter  the V. V. <fc E. had done nothing for  years.

The  game was therefore given in Hedley"s  favor, but to show their appreciation  of the effort made by Oroville to bring  a team, Mott, as captain of the Hedley  team, agreed to give them $150 out of  the $200 allowed by the sports com-  mi ttee.

This was a  dead heat between Matilda and Christine, and a deciding dash was won  by Christine.  Quarter mile boys' race���������Entries,  Antoine, Mack; L. Bradshaw, Babe;  Johnny Steele, Queen;   A. Henderson,  Aylesworth said that there was only  room for one road. Mr. McGiverin  again questioned whether the company  had been organized and consequently  whether it had any status before the  board. Mr. Aylesworth was given until next Monday to demonstrate that  his company was organized.  Later���������The Commission  hss decided  against the contention of the Similkameen and Keremeos outfit. *  When the. friends of Mr. Duncan  Ross,'M. P., in Hedley, decided to give  some tangible expression of their appreciation of the services rendered by  him in their behalf, they chose a- fortunate time in having the event take  place during the holiday, for by that  means they gave a. larger number of  people an opportunity of attending  and joining in the general expression  of approval of his course on the-important railway legislation before the  House.  The event has come and gone, and  the Gazette is pleased to say that the  local committee who had the matter  in charge have fully carried out to the  letter, (not their promise, for no promise was asked of them, but) their  intention to make the function non-  political. If the people of Hedley had  been asked to give an unqualified approval of Mr. Ross' course, there" were  many at the banquet board who, being  unable to see eye to eye with him, on  all questions of public policy, could  not have gone in with full spirit and  accord as they were enabled to do in  this. But with the broad principle for  which he strove in conducting the con- '  test for a competitive railway in southern British Columbia, there is no man,  woman or child in the Similkameeu  who has at heart the truest interests  ,of the district, but can say that he did  right, and it was a gracious thing and  a proper thing to let the function take  this shape that all might join in honoring him for it.  From the chairman down this idea  of a non-political gathering was kept  in view, and nothing transpired during  the whole evening to mar the harmony  which was bound io dwell where such  an idea predominated. The railway  itself and the nature of the fight to  procure it, constituted a situation that  The Fire Fiend in Lower Similkameen.  On Friday last, Sept. 1st, the. farm  of W. J. Mai'iory was visited by the  destroying element. The family had  retired for the. night and it was only  due to the fortunate circumstance that  the eldest son, Sam, was sleeping in a  tent adjoining the house that the. whole  of the outbuildings and stacks were  not destroyed.  About nine o'clock Sam noticed an  unusual light, and rising to investigate  he discovered that the large chicken  house was in flames. He. immediately  gave the alarm and though all who  were able lent their assistance the  chicken house, with 75 chickens, the  implement sheds and implements and  most of the grain stacks were completely destroyed. The loss is a serious  one, amounting to something like $2,-  000. His friends of the upper as well  as of the lower Similkameen regret  sincerely to hear of his loss. The origin of the fire is, up to the present, a  complete mystery.  Messrs. C. E. Thomas and Hugh  Hunter, of Princeton, are in town today for sitting of the Licence Court.  L. W. Shatford, M. P. P., went to  Keremeos on Monday, after the funeral, and from there on to Penticton.  He will probably be back to-morrow  night.  trenched delicately all along the border  line of political strife, but every speaker was determined to give no cause for  offence and no one, unless carrying the  proverbial chip on his shoulder, could  find reason to object to a single thing  that was said.  The banquet was held in the Hotel  Similkameen on Tuesday night when  about forty-five guests sat down to a  spread which did credit to the house.  The room was appropriately and tastefully decorated, but these were soon  lost sight of in the choice viands which  made up the menu.  Mr. Fin lay Fraser occupied the chair  and in apt words of greeting explained  the object of the. gathering, calling to  his aid a choice fund of anecdote to  illustrate his points.  The first toast was that of -'The  King," to which the company made  response by singing God Save the King.  The next toast was "The Army and  Navy," responded to by A. Megraw  and A. D. Worgan. after which followed a- song by Mr. JafVries.  The "Dominion of Canada" fell to  the lot of Dr. Whillans, who spoke of  the illimitable and varied resources  and the hope of greatness which these  will warrant, after which followed a  patriotic song by Mr. Oliver.  "The Province" was the next toast  and was responded to by Mayor Stevens of Kandoops in an eloquent earnest speech, seasoned with just sufficient humor to add relish to the  meaty matters with which he dealt,  and having a ring of patriotism and  high ideals that was good to listen to.  "Our Guest" was the next proposed,  and was drunk amidst loud applause.  Mr. Ross, in response, expressed his.  appreciation of the expression of goodwill which this enthusiastic reception  of the toast conveyed. After mutual  felicitations, he referred to  the  V. V.

Columbia sliould have the same privileges that were accorded toother provinces. He related the circumstance  under which Manitoba had been emancipated and said that what had been  gained for .Manitoba by asserting force  had been attainodicr British Columbia  in a move peaceable way. He had nothing against, the 0. P. R., which had  done its share, in developing the country, anil" the building of its tracks was  a national achievement, but he denied  its right'to control the destines of the.  country. There was more involved in  the question than the mere building of  the "V.V. & E. It meant also the building of the ('/. P. H. from Spence's Bridge  through to Midway, and lie foreshadowed the building of a railway from  tin; lOth paraded northward to Dawson. Leaving the railway question he  deprecated the curse of sectionalism,  which had done, more than anything  else to keep the province back.  "The Press" was responded to by  Mr. Wright, of the Star, who, after  warm enconinms for- the guest of the  evening, showed in a neat speech the  evolution and expansion of the publishing business and the. growing influence of the press which is becoming  less subservient to party dicipline than  it was a few years ago.  "Mercantile Interests" claimed a.  champion in A. E. How.se, who made  sundry comparisons of the conditions  and extent of business of to-day with  that of 25 years ago.  Angus Stewart������������������replied for the "Lumbering interests" and submitted some  instructive figures to show the important niche which lumber fills in the  general advancement of the country,  and Mr. Oliver for the ".Mining Industry" had unbounded faith in the ttim-  ilkaniecn in general and Twenty-mile  in particular, and in forceful words  bade the people of Hedley look to  mining instead of ranching, for prosperity.  "The Pioneers" was a most fitting  toast for such an occasion, and Mr.  Schubert who was almost born a British  Columbia, pioneer, was a very good  man to respond to it. Mr. Schubert  spoke of the days prior to the advent  of the C. P. R.."the hardships of the  pioneers, the great faith which they always had in the country, and the  splendid manner in   which hopes are  The Lats Mrs. Pickard.  ;   While visitations of the grim reaper  recur from time to time to remind  us  of the uncertainty  of   life,   it   is but  rarely that a community is so deeply  touched by a  single  bereavement as  that which occurred in our midst on  Sunday last in the death of Mrs. T. D.  Pickard.    Coming as it did on the eve  of the festivities which were to mark  the  celebration  of   Labor Day,    the  shock seemed .ill the greater, and for  those among   us   who',   enjoyed    her  closer friendship and   were thus enabled to-appreciate to a' fuller extent  the estimable qualities of mind  and  heart that went to make-up a beauteous character,, the .sense .of- personal  loss is keen indeed, and the sympathy  extended to the  bereayed  husband is  deep and ��������� heartfelt.   Mrs.   Pickard's  maiden u" me.. was, Minnie   Harrison.  She was born in St. Johns, New Brunswick, but her people -moved to Sack-  girlhood days were spent and her edu-  ville, where the greater  part of her  cation received.    There     her   mother  'arid two. brothers,  still reside;  while,  other brothers reside in St. John  and  Colorado Springs.    She came to British Columbia and was married in July  1901 to Mr. Pickard,-their acquaintance  which ripened to a. deeper bond going  back many years to her home'.'in  the  east.     Shortly after   their marriage,  they took up their  residence in Fair-  view, where they lived until last year  when they came to Hedley. Thoroughly devoted to each other,   their home  life, marked with hospitality to their  friends, was most happy, and of them  it .would seem to have been written,  "These two���������they dwelt with eye on eye,  Their hearts of old have beat in tune,   :  Their meetings made '.December June,  Their only porting was to die."  The,circumstances attending the death  lend an additional sadness to the  bereavement. Paralysis of the bowels  following a. difficult case of confinement was not to be combatted by human aid, and in spite of almost constant medical attention the end came  all too soon. During the last days of  her illness, Mrs. L. W. Sharford who  had been her warmest:and most intimate ;friend ever since she came to  British Colombia, was constantly with  her, and in fact could scarcely be allowed out of her sight. Mr. Shatford,  for whom she had asked several times,  reached Hedley about o o'clock on Sunday morning, driving most- of the-  night, hut-she was unconscious on his  arrival and remained so until the end  came at 5 o'clock Sunday evening,  .when she passed awa.y in the presence  of her husband find Mr. and Mrs. Shatford.

Miss Hardie is visiting her sister,  Mrs. "W. B. Haynes.  Dick Williams representing the  Jenckes Machine Go, was in town this  week.  The sports committee are to meet on  Friday.evening to square up accounts  and they request all hills to he sent in  before then."  M. K. Rodgers went out to Ashcroft  and the coast on Friday morning's  stage. Harry Rodgers who cut short  his visit here, aeeompanied, him  back.  Mr. Clark and Miss McLellan of  Green Mountain came, up for the Sports  and were the guests of Mrs. W. .1.  Forbes.  The celebration has the floor, this  week, and all editorial matter,��������� Golden  Zone write-up and letter on that awful  post office affair are crowded out.  The St.' Mary's ' Guild announce a  rifle match and. turkey shoot for  Thanksgiving Day, and a concert in  the evening.  Mr. M. D. Hall, superintendent of  the B. C. Copper Co.'s development  work in Apex camp, was in town for a  short time on Tuesday, but had to hurry back.  The latest Centromino joke, is the demand for a pair of snow shoes with  each lot, which demand is being made  by those who are being button-holed  to  buy.  The Gazette is in receipt of several  healthy ��������� bunches of apple blossoms  taken from a tree in Mrs." Daly's orchard at Keremeos, that has already  borne a good crop of apples this year.  This'is a very unusual occurrence.  Mr. and Mrs. C. C." Cook and children of Granite Creek were down to  the celebration, and Mr. Cook remained over for the meeting of the Licensing Board to-day before returning.  They made the Gazette a pleasant call.  Geo. S. Collins of Greenwood, came  ���������in on Tuesday night, and will spend a  few days hereabout. Mr. Collins was  couuected with the Brandon and Golden Crown in the Boundary, and later  with the Montreal & Boston. j  A batch of telephone material arrived last week, and this with the delivery of poles points to the installation  of a telephone exchange in Hedley.  Mayor C. II. Stevens of Kamloops  came in on Tuesday to look after in-  , stallation.  Mr. McPhail, foreman for the Olalla  Company was in town for the celebration. It was his first visit to Hedley  and he was duly impressed with the  development'that has taken place. Mr.  .McPhail is.pleased with the satisfactory showings being made by his com-'  - pany at Olalla.   -  AV. E. Welby, of Penticton met with  an /accident near Oroville on Sunday.  He was found on the roadside in a badly battered condititiouf-where he had  lain for 2 or $ hours in the boiling.sun.  Just how it happened is something  that no one seems to know, and Mr.  'Welby isn't saying anything about it,"  as he doesn't claim to he an authority  on the siibject. He was taken to the  hospital at Oroville where, his wounds  were atteuded to, and on Monday he  : had made as far as Osoyoos on his way  back to Penticton. The Gazette made  inquiries as to the extent of the injuries he received and was informed  in general terms that if anybody else  felt half as bad as he looked there  would be some wills to draw.  A. H. McNeill of Rossland, solicitor  for the Gt. Northern, Major Anderson  and John S. Snapp, right of way agents  were in town on Tuesday and made  the Gazette a pleasant call. They were  on their- way to Copper Mountain and  went through on Wednesday morning.  J. M. Wright, editor of the Similka-.  meen Star, was in town on Tuesday  taking in the sports and the banquet.  He made the Gazette a friendly call  and we regret that there was not more  time to enjoy the visit. Tied down as  both of us'are it is unfortunate that  ���������those little'calls which are conducive  to that better understanding and  friendlier spirit which should always  exist between neighbors and especially those of the fourth, estate, are not  more frequent.  - Hugh Finnegan and Tim Griffin  came-in on Saturday night from a few  months' prospecting trip up the river.  On Five Mile Creek they discovered  and staked out a group of claims from  which they brought in samples of rock.  The deposit is in ledge form, is very  wide and can be traced for a long distance. Tfie rock is well mineralized,  apparently with specular iron. Some  samples nave much the appearance of  micaceous hematite. No assay tests  had yetiveen made to determine the  value, biit if it should contain considerable value in the precious ��������� metals, it  would prove'a. very valuable'deposit,  especially when the railway comes in,  for the oxides of iron are in highest  demand .for fluxing other ores.  The Gazette was in error last week  in referring to Mr. J. J. Foltz as having been connected with the Tacoma  smelter. 'The mistake made by our  informant evidently arose from the  fact that,' Mr. Foltz, on having been  asked where he had his assaying done,  replied "at the Tacoma smelter," for  this was the only reference which he  made while in town. In ' this -way  things imperfectly ' understood by a  listener are repeated with a warp or  twist that gives them an entirely different meaning a ud in time they take  on a directness and definiteness that  would deceive the very elect. Mr.  Foltz assures us that he never worked  an hour for the Tacoma smelter in any  capacity, and beyond his answer regarding the assaying, had never referred to them.-  Dorainion   Fair  Notes.

This firm put iu a large  stock of goods,paid the freight on them  and Wi'vt' to  make.the  first payment  in thirty days after their arrival. They  proceeded to make a noise  by cheap  selling a few lines to  advertise  themselves, and their cheap selling was no  gulf, for it meant'handing  the goods  over to customers   for less  than the  cost price, to lay them down. This, too  was not only on  a few lines  but on  everything.    The game soon  became  ���������apparent  that    the wholesalers wore  the men that they intended to victimize, and it took these a few  weeks  to  catch oil.

The hall on the evening of the 4th  inst., which was under the management of Mi*. A. MeDermott, of the  Hotel Similkameen, and was held in  Fra������ser\s Hall, was,a very successful  affair. Aljout 75 people were present,  many of whom were outsiders from  Princeton, Keremeos, Osoyoos, Okanagan Falls, Green Mountain, Nickel  Plate and elsewhere. The'floor was in  prime .condition, and suitable music  was furnished by Messrs.'* Bassett and  Brent, of Okanagan FaHsf'ThV supper  at the Hotel Similkameen was excellent. .*  DRILLING CONTEST.  The big prizes always increase- the  interest in the event, but''-the drilling  contest is a feature of the celebration  that will draw a crowd in a mining  camp al>ove all others. As a combined  test of skill and endurance there is  nothing to equal the drilling contest.  The prize in this case was $100 with  #50 for second. There were five teams  entered���������Breen and Lynch, McDonald  and Palmer, D, & A. McEaehern, Ell-  strom and Burtch, McKmnon and  Bower man. The rock taken was a  granite boulder in the dry creek l>ot-  tom at the east end of Irene street.  Some thought it too soft, but it was  found to be a pretty hard customer  after all, for every team except the  winners had trouble with drills sticking, and the turner had very little  chance to obtain much rest between  the spells of striking. - McDonald and  Palmer of Olalla and McEaehern Bros,  had hard luck with steel breaking.  The .winners, Burtch and Ellstrom,  made 28i inches, and the team that  took second money 24 9-10 in. Breen  and Lynch drilled 23 inches, McDonald  and Palmer 21 inches and D. & A. McEaehern I8jj inches.  THE RIFLE MATCHES  began on ��������� Tuesday morning. There  were fifteen entries in all, but the  shooting proceeded under most unfavorable conditions, the light being very  puzzling and the wind most capricious,  making the scoring ��������� seem ridiculously .  low. With the. exception of the. absence of telephone connection between  the firing points and the butts, the  arrangements for marking are very-  convenient; and with the two targets  the events can be run oft'in reasonable  time. At the 100 yard range, off-hand,  there was a general fall-down with the  single exception of the winner of first  money, Ed. Riehter, whose score represented an average of inners, which,  although considered fair steady shooting, is not exceptional. The three hundred yard competition had in it several  elements of exceptional interest.  While Mr. Rolls was awarded first  money the honor of winning this particular match really belongs to W. J.  Forbes, who had it with three points  to the good, but these thre,o points represented the value of a shot made on  the wrong target by mistake and it  was disallowed by the range officer in  accordance, with the rules governing  the contest. With the disallowance of  that shot three were tied for first place  with 17 points each,' and in shooting  oil' the tie Rolls won out for first and  Forbes for second.
