C, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1909.\n$2 a Year.\nSPLENDID TIME AT LAKE\nDominion Day Was a Most Unqualified\nSuccess at Nicola\nEveryone who visited the celebration\nat Nicola on Dominion day was more\nthan satisfied with the excellent entertainment provided. The weather was\neverything that could be wished for and\nbig crowds were present from all over\nthe valley. The special train from Middlesboro and Merritt was more than\ncrowded and many were compelled to\nprocure vehicles or go on foot.\nThe town was gaily decorated with\nflags, bunting and evergreens, and the\nHope Indian band added greatly to the\nday's enjoyment.\nThe various committees and the citizens of Nicola generally did everything\npossible to add to the comfort and pleasure of the visitors. The morning was\ntaken up with an excellent program of\nathletic sports and the afternoon was\ndevoted to the horse races. Some fine\nhorses were on the turf and great interest was taken in the contests. The\ndance in Pooley's hall in the evening\nwas a happy feature that attracted a\nlarge crowd and a swell time was the\nresult.\nAfter all prizes and expenses in connection with the celebration were paid,\nthe committee still held a balance of\nover $40. Altogether, the day was one\nthat the citizens of Nicola might well\nfeel proud of.\nBelow is a list of winners in both the\nathletic and horse-racing events :\nATHLETIC SPORTS\n25 yards race\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDGirls five years and\nunder : 1 Florence Davis, 2 Margaret\nAllan.\n25 yards race\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDBoys five years and\nunder: 1 B.

Collstt one car.\nThe chattel mortgage sale was successfully pulled off Tuesday. The fine\ndriving horse was purchased by A. W.\nStrickland, and J. Garcia, of Merritt,\nsecured a fine team. The other stock\nwas all well sold.\nThe Foresters gave Bro. E. Hann a\nsend-off in the shape of a smoker on\nMonday evening. Everyone had an enjoyable time and wished Bro. Hann\nevery prosperity in his new departure\nat Kamloops.\nJohn Clapperton, a forty-year pioneer\nof the valley, left Tuesday for his home\nin Victoria. He was accompanied by\nR. H. Winny, A. E. Howse, R. L.\nClark and C. D. Broadbent in connection with a real estate transaction to be\nconsumated at the coast.\nThe school closing entertainment was\nheld on Friday, the 24th June. An\nexcellent program was rendered by the\npupils and the attendance of parents\nwas large. The progress made by the\npupils during last term has been excellent. Three Rolls of Honor were presented, one for deportment to Marion\nWoodward, one for regularity of attendance to Edna Hunter and one for\nproficiency to Norman Grimmett.\nThe following registered at the Driard\nhotel, Nicola, during the past week:\nLacey Solomon, London, Eng.; Max S.\nWilson and wife, Princeton; Miss Wilson, Tulameen; M.

The\nmurderer and others of the bandit gang\nhave been seen about 311 times during\nthe past ten days\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDaccording to reports\nof different people in various parts of\nthe country. Nearly every rancher\nfrom Kamloops to Mission and from\nSavona to Princeton is sure he has seen\none or more of the train robbers. Every\nseedy looking stranger is at once suspected, and the provincial gaol at Kamloops is filled with hoboes.\nThat the police are baffled in the\npursuit of their quarry is quite evident,\nfor although the strictest watch has\nbeen kept, and the interior thorougly\nscoured, prospects of a capture are\neven more remote than ever.\nProvincial constables Fernie and\nClark conducted a posse through this\nsection during the past week, a report\nbeing current that the robbers were\nheaded Nicola valley way. No trace of\nthem could be found, however. A cabin\nnear Dot was broken into and provisions\nstolen, but this may have been done by\nIndians or hoboes.\nWednesday night constable Clark had\nhis repose disturbed three different\ntimes by persons who were sure that\nthey had spotted a train robber. The\nsuspects all proved, however, that they\nhad a reasonable excuse for being alive.\nWhile the baudits remain at large\nthey are a menace to the community\nand it is to be hoped they will soon be\nrounded up.\nLOCAL NEWS\nnight\nTHE GLORIOUS TWELFTH\nBoard of Trade\nMerritt Board of Trade held a largely\nattended meeting in Menzies' hall last\nMonday evening, the president, H. S.\nCleasby, in the chair.\nA report from Frank Bailey was read\nstating he had succeeded in getting up\na good collection of Nicola valley ores,\nnumbering 26 pieces, ready for shipment to the A.-Y.-P. exposition at\nSeattle. The report was accepted and\nMr. Bailey instructed to look after the\nshipping for Tuesday's train.\nThe adjourned discussion re changing\nthe name of the board was taken up.\nMessrs. Strickland, Grimmett, Howse\nand Carrington were present as delegates from Nicola. These gentlemen\nwere quite in favor of a united board of\ntrade and favored calling the organization the \"Nicola Valley Board of\nTrade.\" They opined also that a proportion of the meetings should be held\nat Nicola. The majority of those present seemed to favor a hypenated name\nto wit: \" Merritt - Nicola Board of\nTrade.\" The \"Merritt and Nicola Valley Board of Trade\" was also spoken\nof, besides other \"aliases.\"\nConsiderable discussion took place on\nthis subject and it was finally decided\nto leave the matter over till next meeting, when a large representation from\nall over the district is expected.\nMr. Grimmett enlightened the gathering on many points in connection with\nincorporation under the Dominion Act.\nA motion was passed making the\nNicola mining division the boundaries\nfor the organization.\nAn adjournment was made till Monday evening, July 12th.\nRAILWAY OONSTBUOTION\nA special message received by The\nHerald ahis morning says it is practically assured that railroad construction from Merritt into the Similkameen will be begun in August this\nyear.\nOf Interest To Stockmen\nThe following letter from the provincial live stock commissioner to W.

THE NICOLA HERALD\nTHE NICOLA HERALD\nL. G. LOBSINOER, Publisher.\nPublished Every Friday\nSubscription, in Advance. $2 a Tear\nMerritt, B. C, July 9, 1909.\n\"WHAT'S IN A NAME?\"\nIn February last The Herald inaugurated a movement for the\nformation of a board of trade in\nMerritt, and kept hammering at it.\nIn the last week of April the matter was brought up at the bankers'\nbanquet by A. W. Strickland, and\nthe first week in May saw the Merritt Board of Trade a reality.\nAt a subsequent meeting the advisability of incorporating the\nboard under the Dominion Act was\ndiscussed. As this would give the\ninstitution additional powers the\nproposition seemed a feasible one\nand M. 1,. Grimmett, of Nicola,\nwas retained to conduct the process\nof incorporation on a legal basis.\nIt was then learned that a locality\nrepresenting at least 1500 persons\nwas necessary before the organization could become a corporate body\nunder the Act. It was thought\nthis clause could be met by taking\nthe court house at Merritt as a common center and describing a radius\nof six or eight miles. Later, however, quite a number of new members from Middlesboro and other sections in our immediate vicinity\njoined the organization, who seemed to think a broader scope for the\nboard was advisable, aud a motion\nwas passed making the radius 25\nmiles. (This in turn was also\namended and last meeting the Nicola mining division was adopted as\nthe \"locality.\") It was also .suggested that the name of the board\nbe changed, some thinking that\n^'Menitt Board of Trade\" was not\nsufficiently comprehensive in view\nof the territory to be covered. This\nview was also taken by the delegation present from Nicola at Monday\nevening's meeting, and considerable discussion ensued on the matter, as may be seen by reading the\nreport of the proceedings on p.l.\nThe majority of those wishing\nthe name of the board changed favored \"Nicola Valley Board of\nTrade,\" and the Nicola delegates\nthought it only right that alternate\nmeetings, or at least a proportion\nof the meetings should be held in\nthat town. Dr. Tutill favored the\nabove name but thought that meetings at Nicola would not be a satisfactory plan and that probably other\ndistricts represented would also ask\nfor some of the meetings. His remarks were to the effect that the\nmost workable plan would be to\nhave a common headquarters for all\nniee.ings.\nThe Merritt members are almost\nunanimously of opinion that the\nnaineof Ihiscoinmercialcentei oflhe\nvalley should appear in the board's\ncaption. The Herald has sounded\nthe business element of the town\nthoroughly; and the ground taken\nis that the board was organized by\nthem originally with the prima facie\nobject in view of advancing the interests of Merritt, where they have\ntheir money invested, and which\nthey hope to maie a large, prosperous and influential city in the\nnot distant future ; and, while 1 hey\nare all of one accord with regard to\n;tbe broader scope of doing all in\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthen power'io assist the valley gen-\ni eraliy.'they still maintain the original object of organizing the board\nmust be kept to the fore, and that\n\"Merritt\" must appear prominently\nin the incorporation papers when\nsuch are gotten out.\nNo one would be more pleased\nthan The Herald to see a harmoniously working united board of trade\nwith meetings at various points. If\nthis valley could produce such an\ninstitution it would be setting a\nprecedent that it might hold out\nbefore the rest of the province with\njustifiable pride. But what looks\ngood in theory is sometimes hard to\nwork out in practice. The failure\nto look into the future and subsequent results of what may seem\nmost practicable from a cursory survey, has resulted in the disorganization of many excellent schemes\nfor the common weal.\nHere is a matter we must look\nsquarely in the face from a firm\nbusiness point of view.\nIt case of having alternate meetings at Nicola or some other point\nwould not the utmost confusion result ? Would not a good deal of\nunfinished business be lost sight of\nand would not a lot of one town's\nbusiness be sidetracked at the other\nwrien scarcely at two consecutive\nmeetings would the same officers and\nmembers be present? It seems most\nimpracticabletoplaceeachdistricton\nthe same plane, or even proportionately so as regards meetings. There\nmust be permanent headquarters\nfor the board of trade. Special\nmeetings could easily be arranged\nat points where urgent special business is necessary to be dealt with,\nbut transferring regular meetings\nwill only retard progress.\nNICOLA VALLEY\nBREWERY\nI Is now ready to supply your\nI wants with the best on the\nA market.\nV Drink the Beer that is going\nto help make the coal metropolis famous, grow fat and LIVE till you die.\nPatronize Home Industry\nL.
