JULY 15, 1910  Price 5 Cents  eeting  erritt for  Local S  Board of Trade Revives  Question of Incorporation  Six Months' Time  Limit Has  Expired and Citizens Are  Getting Busy  A meeting to discuss the matter.of incorporation has been called, for Menzies' hall on the evening, of Tuesday, August 2nd. At  last night's meeting of the board  of trade the question was revived  and the public meeting: authorized.  It.  is    the    popular   feeling  amongst the business  men and  citizens in general  that  Merritt  should be incorporated.    Several  months ago the project was formally launcned at a public meeting but it was then thought best  to hoist it for six months so as to  secure   the; fullest   measure  of  government assistance this year.  The six months' limit has now  expired and it is opportune that  . the question, again be considered.  The- population   of    Merritt   is  growing fast and it will soon  be  impossible to successfully grapple With local conditions  unless  the town is incorporated.     The  questions of fire protection, .electric lighting and'water wbr\ufffd\ufffds as  well.as sidewalks and other local  improvements   must   sooner   or  later become pressing and once  incorporated the town can  meet  these exigencies in a systematic  way.    With incorporation practically completed this fall it will  be possible to hold the civic elections next winter and thus formally launch the new   municipality.  George Riches reached Merritt  Wednesday night and is being  placed in the temporary yards to  the rear of the new Coldwater  hotel. Four cars in all have arrived bringing a complete stock  of the better grades of building  lumber. It is Mr. Riches' intention to construct a modern  livery stable and he will conduct  it in connection with his lumber  yard and general provision business.  NEW RECTOR COMING  Rev. Thomas Walker who will  take charge of the new Anglican  parish at Merritt, will be here  by the end of the month. He  reached Vancouver from his  home in England last Tuesday  night and after receiving the  ordination service will . come to  Merritt. At last Sunday afternoon's congregational meeting it  was decided to look for a site to  construct a rectory, for the new  rector. The work of building  the church will be rushed and in  the meantime the congregation  will worship in Hyland's hall.  but in a letter to the editor of  the News he intimated that he  would return to the west very  shortly. Merritt will be visited  amongst the first places and the  secretary of the board has been,  instructed to communicate wi.tli  Mr. Warren and learn the date  of his next visit so that arrange-\"  ments can be made to banquet  him as the representative and  head of the Kettle Valley Rail-i  way Co.  PLANT IS HERE ,   i  The plant for the  Coal  Hill  Syndicate mines arrived Wednes-.  day night and is now being installed.     The  machinery came jal-r  ready set up and it was necessary  to take it apart to haul it to the.  mines and then set it up again.  Manager Graham says that it will  now be possible to promote development work on  a larger scale.  \"Coal Hill will soon be amongst  the shippers\" he remarked.\"  Will Do Honor  To J. J. Warren  GOVERNMENT SALE IN QUESNEL  i  Although' comparatively little  has as yet been published regarding the auction sale* of 150  lots in the government townsite  of Quesnel, to be held on August  1, great interest is nevertheless  evinced in the best informed inr  vestment'and realty;circles wiith**  respect to the opportunities ! in  connection with the sale.  THE.RECEPTION TO SIR WILFRID  No Pains Will Be Spared to Make It a  Memorable Affair  Hon. Richard McBride, Premier  of British Columbia, has received  formal notification, through Mr^  -Ralp^Smith^MrPT^Tiar^Sir  Wilfrid Laurier, JPrime Minister  of Canada, will accept the reception preferred by the provincial  government in behalf of the  people of British Columbia, and  this picturesque and to-be-historic  function, which it is intended  shall be made one of the most  enjoyable and complete events  of the kind in Canadian history,  is set for the evening of the 17th  of August. The parliament build  ings on this occasion will be a'  blaze of electrical illumination  unprecedented' in their extent  and effectiveness; the best band  available will discourse music on  the ample lawns; interiorally the  public offices will be a wonderful  study in floral decorative art,  orchestral music will be provided,  a buffet supper will be served,  and nothing that good taste or  experience can suggest will be  left undone to convince Sir Wilfrid of British Columbia's and  its Conservative Government's  recognition of him as a great  Canadian. At this reception, it  is understood, the intention of  Premier McBride is to invite  foremost provincial Liberals to  occupy the places of special honor.  Head of  Kettle Valley Will  be Banquetted in Merritt  . That Merritt will fittingly mark  the inauguration of construction  work on the Kettle Valley railway and will make President J.  J. Warren the guest of honor at  a public function on the occasion  of his next visit to Merritt was  the text of a resolution passed  by the Merritt Board of Trade  last night.  The matter was mooted by  S.  N. Dancey and found enthusiastic  support amongst the members.  The importance of the railroad to  the town and district was briefly  outlined and the wisdom of commemorating this important epoch J  in the history of the town fully  confirmed.  Mr. Warren is now in the east  ANOTHER LUMBER YARD  Andrew McGoran is establishing a lumber yard on Voght St.  just across from the C. P. R.  station where he will carry a full  line of all classes of building  material incuding lumber, shingles, laths, lime and cement. Two  cars of material will be here tonight and Mr. McGoran will  erect offices on the ground and  mmediately launch into business.  of the railway about fifty miles  west of the Yellowhead Pass.  The other party will start at the  town of Lillooet and will push  northward and eastward to meet  the men working west from  Tete Jaune Cache.  Secrecy is preserved concerning the probable route of the  railway into Vancouver from  Lillooet. There are three routes  possible, it is declared, but  which one will be followed will  not be made known for some  months. One way Vancouver  may be reached is via Howe  Sound, another is by way of  Harrison Lake and there is a  possibility that a pass through  the hills may be found at some  point lying between the two  routes mentioned.  The route to be followed from  Tete Janue Cache will be practically that taken by the survey  which the C. P. R. ran in the  early days when it was a toss-up  whether that railway would not  enter British Columbia by way  af the Yellowhead Pass.  The route from Tete Jaune  Cache will lie up the McClarman  River to the divide at the head  ofjCanoe River to a low summit;  over the divide to Cranberry  Lake and then down the North  Thompson River to the junction  *bfv,that\"stream with the 'Clearwater.- The course will then be  up the Clearwater and over the  divide at a suitable point to the  Bonapart and along the course  of this river to Lilloet.  The survey parties starting  out next week are fully equipped  for a long stay, in the field. The  one which will work west: from  Tete Jaune Cache will proceed to  that point by way of Ashcroft.  New Conveniences Locally  For the Shipping of Cattle  working steady and good progress is reported in all branches  of the mines. For the first  fourteen days of the month exclusive of three holidays the  total shipments reached 6000  tons or an average of 545 tons  per day. -,  While working on a small  building to the rear of the Cold-  water hotel Sam Hyland met  with an accident that has since  confined him to his room. He  was chiselling a piece of wood  when the chisel slipped and  entered his right leg just above  the knee inflicting an ugly  wound. It was fortunately in a  fleshy part and in that way the  bone escaped.  Merritt Looks  Real Good to Him  Victoria Legislator Predicts a  Great  Future Here  G. T. P.   GETTING   BUSY  Will Run Line Through Lil-  =====Ic6etf=to\"Vancouver  Next week two Grand Trunk  Pacific parties will take the field  to locate the route of the branch  of that railway to Vancouver. It  is learned that one party will  work westward from Tete Jaune  Cache, a point on the main line  At; Middlesboro on Monday  evening Rev. W. J. Kidd baptized Ellen Nevins Thompson,  daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis  Clarke, and on Wednesday evening at Nicola the same clergyman^ ^ap^ized^^^T^eJm^^^^Ada^  danghter of Mr. and Mrs. William Muggeridge.  COAL SHIPMENTS  Coal shipments from the mines  of the Nicola Valley Coal and  Coke Co. continue to increase.  A staff   of   nearly   350   men  is  Henry F. W. Behnsen, member of the legislature-for Victoria, was a \"visitor\"to'\"Merritt oh  Wednesday. ''He has gone on to  the Okanagan but will return in  a few days.  \"It is the first time that\" I have  ever been in Merritt and I tell  you I am more than surprised to  find such a good looking town.\"  Thus he spoke in discussing his  visit. \"I have heard a lot about  the Nicola valley and particularly Merritt during the past few  weeks for they are very much  before the public eye.\"  \"Yes, there will be a great  future before the town for you  have everything here to make a  big town. With railroad'construction under way you will see  a still greater development. The  government-is-doing-its\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbest\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto  aid the development work  through these districts and you  will find that Nicola valley will  share largely in this respect.\"  When Mr. Behnsen returns to  Merritt he will likely invest in  local realty and thus furnish tangible evidence of his faith in the  future of the community.  Contract for  First Ten Miles of Kel tie Valley Sublet and Work Has Started  will be in full swing.  LUMBER IS HERE  The first consignment of lumber   for   the   lumber   yard   of  Organization plans preliminary  'to construction on the Kettle  Valley railway out of Merritt  have been completed and actual  work is already under way on a  small basis.  A. V. McDonald to whom the  contract for the first ten miles  was sublet is now on a tour of  the country buying horses to be  used in the work. A small camp  is now located about one mile  from the town in charge of Pat  Gorman, who is foreman for Mr.  McDonald.  The survey crews who are in  charge of Chief Engineer A. Mc-  Culloch are rushing their end of  the work and are now a considerable distance from town. Mr.  McCulloch is expected back in  Merritt tomorrow evening. In  the meantime the office staff is  arriving and will be completed  by the first of next week. '\ufffd\ufffd.  When the work is in full swing  there will be several hundred  men on the contract because the  contractors have decided that the  line must be rushed. The fact  that the route has been changed  and the river will be bridged  three miles out and thus put the  line on the west side of the river  will facilitate matters in that it  will provide an easier gradient.  Contractor Macdonnell says  that while the contract has been  sublet for the first ten miles that  the other sections are still under  his jurisdiction, but will likely be  farmed out. Work will start at  Penticton in a few days and is already under way at Midway so  that the contention of the contractors that the entire line will  be completed within two years  seems quite feasible.  While only a portion of the  outfits have arrived the rest will  be here in a few days and by the  end of   next  week   everything  \"We intend to rush the work to  an early completion. We mean  business and the Kettle Valley  should be running inside of two  years. We want all the men we  can get and should have at least  one thousand on the construction  of that portion of the line leading out of Merritt. The contract  for the first ten miles of the line  on this end has been awarded to  A. V. McDonald.'' This was the  interesting announcement of  James Macdonnell, head of the  firm of Macdonnell & Gzowski  who have the contract for the  entire line. \"We will have more  to say later as developments  occur but in the meantime we  will get real busy.\" Mr. Macdonnell went down to Vancouver  on Wednesday but will . be back  in a few days.  A part of the outfits to be used  in construction have already ar  rived and others will follow. In  a few days there will be a number of steam shovels at work as  well as an army of men. A. V.  McDonald is out through the  country purchasing horses and  just as soon as the necessary organization work is completed  camps will be located and actual  construction instituted.  It is now determined- that the  line will cross the river about  three miles from Merritt and  follow the west bank. Engineer  McCulloch says that a much better grade can be found on that  side and the cost of building the  bridge will be more than offset  by the many advantages that will  follow the change in the route.  Railroad Accedes to Request  of Stockmen\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdBoard of  Trade Has Meeting  The Canadian Pacific railway  will construct cattle corrals at  Merritt in the rear of-the present C.P.R. station. Official intimation of this was handed out  at last night's meeting of the  Merritt Board of Trade by Geo.  F. Ransom, chairman of the  committee appointed to take up  the matter, with the railway  company: The local cattle men  will place scales in the corrals  and every convenience for shippers will be provided. This will  mean a big saving for shippers  of cattle and horses for in the  past they have been obliged to  take their shipments through  Merritt to Nicola. The railway  | company promises to make an  , early completion of the . fence  along the right-of-way between  Merritt and Coutlee. Quilchena  Ave. will also be provided with a  crossing.  S.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdN. Dancey gave notice, of  motion that at the.next meeting  of the board that he would move  to have the board co-operate with  local Liberals in securing for  Merritt a federal building for the  housing of the various governmental services. The matter is  now being pressed before the  federal government. The suggestion met with hearty approval at the hands of the board.  A separate building for the  new telephone exchange was the  text of another resolution and an  announcement was handed out  during the discussion that the  exchange would be placed in a  separate building at the rear of  the present postoffice and that an  operator would be kept at the  board_cohtinuously\\ The question of sidewalks came up again  and it was pointed out that the  government would give dollar  for dollar and money subscribed  would be used in building walks  oh the street where subscription  was obtained. Construction  would start in the course of a  few days on Voght St. and Quilchena Ave. It was decided to  place an advertisement in the  fall fair prize list setting forth  the advantages of the district.  The   theory that   the Kettle  Valley railway will go   over the  Hope mountains into Vancouver  and thus  provide a shorter  line  Continued on page four.  CANFORD'S NEW MILL  As announced in The News  some time ago the mill of the  Nicola Valley Lumber Co. at  Canford which was destroyed by  fire two years ago will be replaced by a much larger mill. The  project is in the hands of Vermont capitalists and the chief  promoter will be here in a few  days. The mill will have a  large capacity and will employ  many men.  The output of the Du.nsmuir  mines now owned by the Canadian Collieries Co., will be doubled and inside of two years the  daily output will reach 30,000  tons according to the manager.  It will mean the employment of  niany hundreds of additional  men.

Just Stop and Think  How Easily You Can  Make Money  L. M. ALEXANDER  Real Estate Broker  412 Hastings St. West. Vancouver, B.C.  Early Days in Nicola Valley  By George   Murray,  Nicola.   =r=  The two eldest sons Samuel  and John P. Moore had the* spirit  of adventure and were pioneers  of a sturdy and determined type.  Scai-cely had they attained to  manhood before the spell of the  west overcame them, and they  resolved to exploit the vast and  little known region which lay between Ontario and the Rocky  Mountains and over which the  Hudson's Bay Co. held sway.  It was at that time famous only  as the haunts of the buffalo and  an extensive fur-bearing region  whose products were designed  to fill the coffers of the aforesaid  company. It was to their interest not to diffuse information  respecting the wonderful resources and enormous possibilities of  the prodigious territory from  which they drew their wealth.  Probably they did not realize  that they held sway over one of  the greatest, if not the greatest  wheat producing belt on the  globe, and that many millions  would find happy homes, where  the Indian hunter and buffalo  once roamed at will. Self preservation one of the prevailing  instincts of our nature- would  induce the Hudson Bay Co. to  maintain a discreet silence.  Their success however would  tempt others and bring rivals  into the field. Then too the explorer yearning to glean and  scatter knowledge respecting  the attractions and resources of  untrodden fields, could not resist  the call of the west. Gradually  it is learned that an inheritance  of gigantic resources remains to  be possessed and subdued.  The two   Moore  brothers  set  out from their home in  Durham  intent on seeing what the Red  river had to offer and with  Fort  Garry as their objective point.  This  gained   they    made  their  home   their     for   the     winter.  While most favorably impressed  with the agricultural possibilities  of the Red river,  railroad work  was not   even a   dream at   that  time.    To locate there, whatever  the   inducements,    these   could  not compensate   for the  disadvantages.    With the opening of  spring they  determined to push  westward.    The long, and tedious  journey from Winnipeg was undertaken and successfully accomplished.    When  the    wondei'ful  Winnipeg of   today  was  but a  Hudson Bay  trading post,    Mr.  Samuel Moore predicted a great  future for  the obscure   village,  an dexpressed-the-opi ni on-that-i t-  would become a second Chicago,  a forecast then extravagant, but  now verified.     He was enamoured  of Bow  River country,   the  splendid district now known  as  \"Sunny Alberta.\"    But to locate  East of   the   Rocky   Mountains  looked   like   choosing  perpetual  isolation.     As  the   prospect   of  railway   seemed   a   wild   hope,  the  trend  must  be   still   Westward.    Fabulus tales  were  told  of the golden stores awaiting the  search   of   the   diligent on  the  banks of the Fraser and  in  natures vaults amid the gulches  of  Cariboo.    Those auriferous fields  with their rich rewards must be  reached   and   exploited.       Prolonged  toil  and earnest search  failed to reveal the precious metal.    If the  Moore  brothers  did  not win gold from earth's secret,  chambers, they were resourceful  and sought success   in  anothei  direction.     The demand for supplies in the gold-camps was such  as to give remunerative employment to all who would engage ir.  the   transportation   of    goods.  They ran a pack-train for a time.  Tidings of rich gold  deposits ir.  the Peace River induced them tc  woo fortune in a more Northerly  clime.    Another venture with its  fatigue and privations was  undertaken.      The   coveted   prize  eluded their quest.     But the ex-.  perience gained through repeated  failure was fitting them for  triumph in another direction.  They had learned to toil and wait  and endure. The quieter pursuit of hits bandy and ranching  offered a surer way to a competency. A locality favorable for  such and industry -was sought  and found at the head of Nicola  Lake where in a few years they  became owners of a large extent  of excellent agricultural and  grazing land, and a big band of  cattle.

Lodges were  in attendance from all parts of  the district   and the   day's programme was  well   carried  out.  A special train carried the members of the  Merritt   lodge   and  their friends leaving Nicola at 4  a. m. and Merritt thirty minutes  later.    Kamloops    was  reached  at 9.30 o'clock.    Through a misunderstanding a large   number  of the excursionists were  forced  to  remain   at    Kamloops    over  night.    Several of the bills printed the leaving hour as 9   o'clock  but the  train  pulled    out at 8  o'clock with the result that many  were left.  THE GAME LAWS  Prairie chickens for the first  time may lawfully be shot in any  part of the province during October. Quail shooting becomes  permissible in Cowichan, Esqui-  malt, Saanich and the island districts from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31> and  duck, snipe and geese on Vancouver Island, and the Islands  adjacent from Sept. 5 to Feb. 28,  and on the provincial mainland  from Sept. 1 to Sept. 28. The  sale of these birds will only be  allowed hereafter, however, during October and November, market hunting having during late  years visibly reduced the flocks  of these migi'atory waterfowl.  Deer shooting on' Vancouver  Island and the adjacent islands  opens Sept. 5, continuing until  Dec. 15, but no sale being allowed. Elsewhere throughout  the province, excepting in the  Queen Charlottes, the open season for deer is from Sept. 1 to  to Dec. 15, the sale of venison on  the mainland being allowed as  from Sept. 1 to Nov. 15 only.  Kaien Island and the game preserves of Lillooet and East Kootenay are specially and specifically  exempted from the provisions of  this minute of council.  It has been decided to open  pheasant shooting in Cowichan  district, where most of the shooting is by owners' permission or  invitation and subject also to certain municipal. regulations, . on  October 1, the season extending  to December 31. In the electoi i \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  al district of the islands, excluding North Saanich, pheasants  will be legitimate spoil of the  fowler during October only. No  pheasant shooting is to be permitted on the mainland, in Esqui-  malt or in North Saanich, as it is  the intention of the government  to put out during August in these  sections some 1500 chicks of an  imported  American,,larger____and_  cross certain streets and a flat  rate of taxation for twenty years,  along with a grant of foreshore  from Winnipeg Street to Penticton Creek.

Mr.   McCullough,    submitted plans which showed  the  tracks of the railway,   the  main  line would follow  the  lake,   and  come   to   Trout    Creek,   wher  probably a spur would be run  to  the lake at that point.

FOR  FRUIT  FARMS  The announcement that the  provincial government will place  at least two of the experimental  fruit farms in the Yale district  should hold much significance  for the fruit growers of Nicola  valley.  It is almost a foregone conclusion that one of these farms will  be located along the mainline  possibly at Pennys and it naturally follows that the other should  come to Nicola valley, the other  great wing of the riding of West  Yale.  The fruit industry in Nicola  valley is but in its incipient  stages. There is much to be  done in development and experimental work and the presence of  an experimental station would  have a wonderful influence for  good. The possibilities are here  and they should be realized.  The soil is well adapted to fruit  growing and climate conditions  are almost perfect. Many farmers would undertake fruit  growing if they but better understood some of the primary  features of the work. The government would confer a benefit  not alone on the fruit growers of  the district but on the promoters  of the industry throughout the  province by locating one of its  experimental stations in the  Nicola valley.  behalf of. the people of British  Columbia. The capital will. be  thrown wide open on the occasion of the federal leader's visit  and the reception promises to  eclipse anything of the kind ever  attempted in the province. The  leaders of the Liberal host will  be invited to take the seats of  honor at the banquet board and  not effort is being spared to pi-o-  vide for the best of mutual good  will. It will be purely non-political and furnishes a pleasing  spectacle of a Conservative premier entertaining a Liberal  mier admidst conditions  smack of l'eal freedom and  lowship.  pre-  that  Public spiritedness in the fullest and deepest sense is represented in the project to build  sidewalks in Merritt. The provincial government has generously donated a sum equivalent  to the amount raised by local  public subscription and in that  way half of the cost is defrayed.  Every citizen of Merritt should  aid in the movement to secure  sidewalks. Some have refused  to sign the lists but their reason  cannot be a sound one. Everyone will share the same advantages and should share proportionally the financial burden involved in securing these walks.  Merritt is attracting wide atten-  tention these days and the character of a people is largely reflected in the appearance of the  _town\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWith: sidewalks and other  Incorporation should be the  question of supreme importance  to the good people of Merritt  at this moment. We have reached a stage in our progress that  it is almost imperative that we  should become an organized  municipality. Now that the  government has pledged itself to  undertake half of the financial  responsibility involved in the  construction of sidewalks we  have received a splendid impetus.  But other problems are arising  that the people must solve and  the only solution can come  through incorporation. We  want water and light, we need  sewerage, we need fire protection  and many other things but we  can only gain them through organization.  spirit of progressiveness that  they have exhibited in their  effort to secure a post-  office building as well as an  armoury for; the town. Their  hands should be strengthened in  every way and every assistance  given them so as to secure these  two necessary institutions. It  will be almost one year before  definite action could be taken towards construction of buildings  and if the present movement is  sustained Merritt will then have  a population of upwards of 3000.  One of the best advertisements  any town can have is a good  fel- healthy looking government  institution and no effort should  be spared to secure one or more  of them for Merritt.  public conveniences no man  could doubt the enterprise or zeal  of the local public and while the  town is not incorporated there is  no reason why the citizens should  not unite in meeting some of the  common obligations that devolve  upon them.  The retirement of Hon. Carter  Cotton from the editorial chair of  the ^Vancouver News Advertiser  marks the removal from active  journalism of one of the brightest writers in the province. For  years Mr. Cotton has presided  over the destinies of the News  Advertiser and as an editorial  writer has won widespread respect and appreciation. He was  not a man of superfluous verbiage  but the wealth of his writings  lay in the fact and reason that  he always.nurtured. Ever convincing in his arguments it was  that simple, terse style of his  that earned for him the position  he held so long.  If a provincial press association is to be organized it is mature time that some preliminary  organization steps were taken.  The good that will follow the  birth on institution of this character cannot be denied but it requires a leader and the sooner  something definite is accomplished the sooner will the new organization be assured.  The result of the general elections throughput Manitoba was  not unexpected. The Roblin administration has given splendid  satisfaction in every department  and though the fight waged by  the opposition party was a bitter  one still was it evident that the  government had the confidence  of the people and that the electors were not content to drop the  substance for the shadow. Mr.  Roblin is one of the great men of  the west and the  service  he is  In spite of the fact that the  present administration at Victoria has granted greater concessions to the temperance people  than they have ever enjoyed  in  this province under any previous  government,   Rev.   Dr. Spencer,  leader of the local option movement, sees fit to shower abuse on  the   head   of Premier McBride  and his government in  all  their  works.      It only go.es to show  that there are some people who  could never  be satisfied and it  matters not how generously  you  deal with them they are still discontented.    The best course to  pursue with this class is to treat  them with silent contempt.   The  leaders of the local option movement should be more  reasonable  in their attitude.  rendering to his chosen province  is one that reverts to the good of  the entire west.  Prize fighting has seen its last  if present indications can be accepted as a criterion. Everywhere is there the same popular  feeling of animosity towards the  game and in most of the states  of the union a ban has been  placed on the fight pictures.  The Kettle  Valley Railway  Continued from page one.  to the coast seems to find general favor with the press of the  province. The News has always  supported this theory and now  the New Westminster Columbian  lends additional color in the following statement:  Jim Hill, Great Northern Railway  builder, must   look  to his  laurels.    The application  of the  Kettle Valley Railway  Company  for approval  of the  plans  of a  proposed route  from   the  Cold-  water river in the Similkameen,  at a point where  the   Midway-  Penticton-Merritt  section  turns  north  to   follow, the  Coldwater  river to the Nicola   valley,   connection being made   at Merritt  with the Nicola   branch  of the  C.

P. R.  at Hope, or as   the route map  shows, Ruby  Creek.    This proposed location of a route revives  the hope that the  Kettle  River  Valley Railway will   include in  its plans a direct connection from  the interior Boundary country to  the coast, the necessary link in a  second transcontinental  by  way  of the Crow's Nest Pass  line to  The Liberals of Merritt are  to  be commended on   the  splendid  the Pacific- tidewater. What  gives a color of possibility to the  project is the increased traffic  on the Canadian Pacific Railway's  mountain section.

The  dearth of lumber retarding  building operations has created a  house famine and in order to  house the many new comers it  has been found necessary to use  tents. The warm weather makes  life in the tents very comfortable.  The train on the local branch  did not reach Merritt until midnight on Monday being held at  Spences Bridge several hours for  the belated express from the east.

Many of the states of the union have placed the ban on the  Johnston\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJeffries fight pictures  and the men who paid so much  money for the rights are face to  face with a big loss.

The Montrealers have reached  Vancouver and tommorrow the  first of a series of games for the  Minto cup, emblematic of the  lacrosse, championship of the  world will be played in Queen's  park. President Findlay of the  challengers is confident that his  team can lift the cup.  Vancouver has a fairly good  hold on the top position in the  Northwestern league. They  dropped two games to Tacoma  this week but will fully redeem  themselves. Spokane is running  a close second and Tacoma third.  The Kolapore cup, one of the  big trophies at the Bisley meet,  was captured by the mother  country this year. Last year it  was won by the Canadian team.  The Canadians won the McKin-  non cup this year.  Chicago is leading in the National league with New York  second and Pittsburg third. In  the American Philadelphia has a  good healthy lead and.New York  is second and Boston third.  The actual returns showing  just what each of the fighters  made in the recent big fight give  Jeffries $192,066 and Johnston  $145,600. There is some talk  that Jefiries may challenge again.

There is some talk of another  fight between Jeffries and Johnston the latter of whom wants  to fight on Labor day.

Mrs.  I'.yder had already heard of the projected trip abroad, so the news of this  sudden departure was not the shoe-lit might otherwise have been.  As Jefferson went downstair? something white on the carpet attrac-red hi:--  attention. He stooped and picked i!  up. It was a letter. It was in Bagle.Vs  handwriting aud had evidently been  dropped by the man to whom the secretary had given it to post. But. what  interested Jefferson more than anything else was that it was addressed  to Miss Kate Roberts. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Under ordinary  circumstances a king's ransom would  not have tempted the young man to  read a letter addressed to another, but  he was convinced that his father's secretary was an adventurer, and if he  were carrying on an intrigue in this  manner it could have only one meaning. It was his duty to unveil a rascal  who was using the Ryder .roof and  name to further his own ends aiu victimize a girl who, although sophisticated enough to know better, was too  silly to realize the risk she ran at the  hands of an unscrupulous man. Hesitating uo longer, Jefferson tore open  the envelope and read:  My Dearest Wife That Is to Be\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI have  arranged everything. Next Wednesday-  just a week from today\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwe will go to the  house of a discreet friend of mine where  a minister will marry us.

A close  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdshave this for Senator Roberts, he  thought. His first impulse was to go  upstairs again to. his mother and put  the matter iu her hands. She would  immediately inform his father, who  would .\"make short work of Mr. Bagley.  Hut, thought Jefferson, why should he  spoil:a'good tiling? He could afford to  wait a day or two. There was no hurry.'.He. could allow Bagley to think all  was going swimmingly and then uncover the plot at the eleventh hour,  lie would eveu lot this letter go to  Kate. There was uo difficulty in procuring another envelope and imitating  the   handwriting,   and   when   Bagley  \"Suy, __.<<!\/_(..\/, wliat docs this meant''  was just preparing to go to the rendezvous he would spring the trap. Such a  cad deserved no mercy. The scandal  would be a knockout blow, his father  would discharge him on the spot, and  that would be the last they would see  of the aristocratic English secretary.  Jefferson put the letter in his pocket  and left the house rejoicing.  *        * *      . *        *        *        *  While the foregoing incidents were  happening John Burkett Ryder was secluded in his library. The great man  had come homo earlier than usual, for  he had two important callers to see by  appointment that afternoon. One was  Sergeant Ellison, who had to report on  his mission to Massapequa; tho other  was Miss Shirley Green, the author of  \"The American Octopus,\" who had at  last deigned to honor him with a visit.  Pending the arrival of these visitors  the financier was busy with his secretary trying to get rid as rapidly as possible of what business and correspondence (here was on hand.  The plutocrat was sitting at his desk  po-.'ing over a mass of papers. BetweeT  .-'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ti.ptii ivjis tin.

Then if the result pleased him  a smile overspread his saturnine features. He rose from his chair and  nervously paced the floor as he always  did when thinking deeply.  \"Five millions,\" he muttered, \"not a  cent more. If they won't sell we'll  crush them\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd  Mr. Bagley entered. Mr. Ryder looked up quickly.  \"Well,,. Bagley?\" ho said interrogatively. \"Has Sergeant Ellison come?\"  \"Yes. sir. But Mr. Herts is downstairs. He insists on seeing you about  the. Philadelphia gas deal. He says it  '.s a matter of life and death.\"  \"Tochim\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdyes,\" answered the financier dryly.. \"Let him come up. We  might as well have it out now.\"  Mr. Bagley went out and returned almost immediately, followed by a short,  fat man. rather loudly dressed and apoplectic in appearance. He looked like  a prosperous brewer, while, as a matter of fact, he was president of a ga?  company, one of the shrewdest promoters in the country, and a big man in  . Wall street. There was only one bigger man and that was John Ryder.  Rut. today. Mr. Herts was not in good  condition. His face was pale and his  manner flustered and nervous. He was  plainly worried.  \"Mr. Ryder.\" he began with excited  gesture, \"the terms you offer are pre-  l-Ksrorons. It would mean disastei to  the stockholders. Our gas properties  are worth six times that amount. We  will sell out for $_\ufffd\ufffd0.000.000. not a cent  less.\"  Ryder shrugged his shoulders.  \"Mr. Herts.\" he replied coolly. \"I am  busy today and in no mood for arguing. We'll either buy you out or force  you out. Choose. You have our offer.  Five millions for your gas property.  Will you  take it?\"  \"We'll see you in tophet first!\" cried  his  visitor, exasperated.  \"Very well.\" replied Ryder, still un-  ri.f_!c<l. \"all negotiations are off Yon  leave me free to act. We have an  ..I'fer to liny cheap the old Oormantown  ikis company, which has chartei'-ri-rhts  in go into airy of the streets of Philadelphia. Y.'o shall purchase that company, we will put SlO.0ii0.0fH) new capital into it and reduce the price of gas  in Philadelphia to <!0 cents a thousand.  'iVh.-.'o wi!l yon  be then?\"  The fa 1 e of the Colossus as he uttered this stand and deliver speech  was calm and inscrutable. Conscious  of the resistless power of his untold  millions, he felt no more compunction  in mere ilesi-l.v crushing this business  rival than he would in trampling out  the life of a worm. The little 111:111 facing him looked haggard and distressed.  He knew well that this was 110 iule  threat, lie was well aware that Ryder and his associates by the sheer  weight of the enormous wealth they  controlled could sell out or destroy any  industrial corioraiion in the land. It  was plainly illegal, but it was done every day. and his <ompauy was not the  first victim nor the last. Desperate, he  appealed humbly to the tyrannical  money power:  -^--I)o_itlt___d.__i^:____.us__.to__.the^_\\v.all.__JNIr.^Ityj_.  der. This forced sale will mean disaster to us all. Put yourself* iu our  place: think what it means to scores  of families who.ve only support is the  income from their investment in our  coinpan.. .\"  \"Mr. Herts.\" replied Ryder unmoved,  \"1 never allow sentiment to interfere  with business. You have heard my  terms. I refuse to argue the matter  further. What is it to be? Five millions or competition? Decide now or  this Interview must end!\"  He look out his watch and with his  other hand touched a bell. Beads of  perspiration stood 011 ids visitor's forehead. In a voice broken with sui>-  pressed emotion lie said hoarsely:  \"You're a hard, pitiless man, John  Ryder! So be it\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlive millions. I don't  know what they'll say. I don't dare  return to them.\"  \"Those are my terms,\" said RydeU  coldly. \"The papers,\" he added, \"will  be ready for your signature tomorrow!  at this time, and I'll have a check ready!  for tho entire amount.   Good day.\"  Mr. Bagley entered. .iJyder bowed tot  Herts, who slowly retired. When thai  door had closed on him, Ryder went;  back to his' desk, a smile of triumpli  on his face. Then he turned to hiia.  secretary. .  \"Let Sergeant Ellison come up,\" he  said.  A moment later the door opened, and  Sergeant Ellison entered, followed by  th? secretary, who almost Immediately  withdrew.  \"Well, sergeant,\" said Mr. Ryder cordially, \"what have you to tell me? I  Can give you only a few minutes. I expect a lady friend of yours.\"  The plutocrat sometimes condescended to be jocular with his subordinates.  \"A lady fricHd of mine, sir?\" echoed  th\ufffd\ufffd man, puzzled.  \"Yes\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMiss Shirley Green, the nu'  thor,\" replied the financier, enjoying  ilu_ detective's embarrassment. \"That  suggestion of yours worked out all  tWW*   B1x\ufffd\ufffd'r coii-luje here to<i\ufffd\ufffdv.\"  \"t'm giad you've found her. sir.\" '  \"It was a lough job,\", answ-eied  Ryder, with a grimace. \"We' wr\"te  . her half a dozen times before she was  -\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsatisfied with the wording of tho. invitation, but finally we landed her, and I  expect her at 3 o'clock. Now, what  about that Rossmore girl? Did you go  down to Massapequa?\"  \"Yes, sir. I have been there half a  dozen times. In fact, I've just come  from there. Judge Rossmore is there,  all right, but his daughter has left  for parts unknown.\"  \"(.one away! Where?\" exclaimed  (lie financier.  Tins was what he dreaded. As long  .'is he eoiuri keep his eye on the girl  there was little danger of Jefferson  making a fool of himself; with her disappeared everything was possible.  \"1 could uot find out. sir. Their  neighbors don't know much about  them. They say they're haughty and  stuck up. The only one I could get  anything out of was a parson named  Deetle. He said it was 11 sad case,  that they had reverses and a daughter  who was In Paris\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  \"Yes, yen,\" said Ryder impatiently,  \"we know all that. But where's the  daughter now?\"  \"Search me. sir. I even tried to  pump flie slavey. Gee, what a vixen!  She almost flew at inc. She said she  didn't know and didn't care.\"  Ryder brought his list down with  force on his desk, a trick he had when  he wished to emphasize a point.  \"Sergeant, I don't like the mysterious disappearance of that girl. You  must find her, do you hear? You must  find her if it takes all the sleuths iu  the country. Had my son been seen  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthere':\"  \"The parson said be saw a young fellow answering his description sitting  on the porch of the Rossmore cottage  the evening before the girl disappeared, but he didn't know who he was and  hasn't seen him since.\"  \"That was my son, I'll wager. He  knows where the girl is! Perhaps he's  with her now. . Maybe he's going to  marry her. That must be prevented  at any cost. Sergeant, find that Rossmore girl and I'll give you .$1,01)0.\"  The detective's face flushed with  pleasure at the prospect of so liberal  a reward.    Rising, he said:  \"I'll find her, sir.    I'll find her.\"  Mr. Bagley entered, wearing the solemn, important air he always a\"ected  \"Yes, 1 am .Miss Green\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdShirle.v  Green, author of 'The Ainericaii' Octopus.'
