James Stewart was laid up for repairs in the'hospital last week but expects to he out in a few days. G. H. Whiteman, has arrived in Princeton from England accompanied, by his bride, and is receiving the congratulations of Princeton friends. The smoke laden air which became in evidence on Monday and increased on Tuesday would indicate that destructive fires are burning at some part of the district. ' .,., . A meeting to make arrangements for celebration of Labor Day will be held on Friday evening. If a celebration is to be held there is nothing like getting at it good and early. Rciv. Mr. MacKenzie, the new pastor in charge of the Methodist missions at Keremeos mid Hedley occupied the pulpit in -Hedley on Sunday evening last'and preached acceptably to a, good congregation., Miss Faulcls, formerly matron of the Hedley hospital but now occupying a similar position in Princeton, drove down on Saturday with Dr. McCaffrey who came to hold the inquest on the man who was killed in the mine. Mine inspector Strachan of Merritt was in town this week investigating the accident in the Nickel Plate.. It is the inspector's intention to make monthly visits to Hedley and keep more closely in touch with operations here. R. Wheeler, metallurgist and superintendent of the mill .and cyanide plant, returned on'Monday from Sheep Creek where he has been for the past two weeks looking over the mill and works .'of the Mother Lode claim in thub canip. Mr. Carl Knowles, brother of Wallace Knowles, draughsinan and engineer, came in oil Tuesday last and went to work on the hill to gain a little practical experience in mining during his holidays. He is at present with the diamond drill crew. The Nelson News in Monday's issue gives a very good write-up of Camp Hedley. The information hears the mark of having heen obtained at first hand and the writer of the article appeal's to have understood the subject lie was writing about. Mr. J. H. Jackson of Coalmont is - making satisfactory recovery from his auto accident and meanwhile the auto is making the trip regularly between Coalmont and Merritt enabling passengers to get through to Vancouver from either Princeton or Coalmont in a day. ' A. fair sized contingent of Hedley Orangemen drove to Princeton on Friday last to help celebrate the anniversary of the Boyne and the glorious, pious and immortal memory of King Billy. The day was fine and various centres in the valley were well represented in the gathering.
