"The Hedley Gazette and Similkameen Advertiser was published in Hedley, in the Similkameen region of southern British Columbia, and ran from January 1905 to August 1917. The Gazette was published by the Hedley Gazette Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was Ainsley Megraw (1905-1914). The Gazette served the communities of Keremos, Olalla, and Hedley. In 1916, the paper was purchased by James W. Grier, who shortened the title to the Hedley Gazette."@en . ""@en .

VV. Grikr. Publisher. The undersigned is pleased'to announce to '.subscribers, of Tlie -Hedley Gazette that with this issue the paper passes into the -.hands ..of Mr. James W.Crier, Aviid is now sole proprietor and \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwill manage and edit it, Mr. Grier scarcely needs any introduction to the subscribers of any ''paper' in the interior of British Columbia, and, particularly, those where mining is in progress, for he has been iden- -.tifted.' with mining in the interior of the province for the past twenty-five years. His connection with The Gazette, coming as it does when there is every evidence of a revival in mining, is propitious. He has always stood for what is legitimate and proper in the conduct of publicity connected with the mining industry, and the promoter of fake schemes had little to hope from him and much to fear. It is therefore \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwith special pleasure that we introduce him as the new proprietor and publisher of The Hedley Gazette, and as a citizen he will bear his share. To make a town or a mining camp prosperous it is necessary that every one should do his or her part. The prosperity of a community is dependent upon the efforts of all, and the local publisher requires the'cooperation of citizens and particularly those in business. In those days when the mail order houses are cutting in upon the business of the local dealers it is all the more necessary that the people of every community stand together and endeavor to do their part. From a news item which apr peared in last issue it might be inferred that the undersigned is still connected with the ownership of The Hedley Gazette, but such is not the case and a wrong impression, w*as given of an unimportant circumstance connected with the transfer from , the late publisher to the present owner. The writer bespeaks for Mr. Grier the hearty cooperation and support of the people of Hedley and district, knowing as he does that it will be fully deserved. A. Megraw. In politics, the paper will be independent. We are not under any obligations to the politicians, \"neither are the politicians under any obligations to us.

Hedley Branch Capitai and Surplus $7,884,000, C. P. DALTON, Manage This publisher of the Gazette does not believe that he can live up to the many virtues which Major Megraw attributes to him, so it would be advisable to Avait and judge for yourselves. A newspaper is the same as any other cold-blooded business proposition in which success is the natural result of a man being just to himself. We have no illusions about \"uplifts,\" \"purity in politics,\" etc. We are not here to give anything away, but to sell our wares at a profit and. buy your wares, paying one hundred cents on the dollar, and the one hundred cents promptly paid is the driving force behind all business energy. It appears to be generally accepted that a publisher to make both ends meet must become a pest by continuously soliciting job printing, advertising and subscriptions. You don't expect your hardware; dry goods, or. grocery merchant to camp on your trail, nor is the publisher going to do so. The Gazette has an up-to-the-minute job printing, plant, has advertising space for sale, and is anxious to add to the names on the subscription list, but we do not propose to call every day and tell you how to run your business. If you favor us with your patronage we will do our utmost to give you value for the money invested. We would be pleased to have news items until we become accustomed to the scenery and those decorating it. It is the intention to move the plant this week into the Lyons block, when a telephone will be hitched on and grievances can be fired in without the trouble and inconvenience of a personal mix-up. Until the paper is settled in new quarters don't expect too much then there will be less danger of disappointment. Don't shoot, the performer is doing his best. A feature of the war- that is disquieting to many people in Camilla, and the operation of which can lie perceived in Hope as well as elsewhere, is that as young and middle aged Canadians, both from the .Mother Country and native born, join the colors, their positions in commerce and industry are taken by aliens, often by the subjects of enemy powers.' It might have been well if, at the beginning of tint war, the Dominion government hael tiiken stock of the whole manhood of the country, decided how many were needed to continue the commercial anil industrial life of the country and sent, by ballot or either-wise, all the rest to go to the front or into training. But that would have involved a degree of paternalism of which British-people have always been most impatient. They are quicker than any others to volunteer but more stubborn also in resisting compulsion. Great preparation .are being made in every province for., finding employment for the soldiers when they return. These must include the discharge eif aliens, especially enemy aliens, from employment to nrake room for our own. This also will involve paternalism in the form eif inter-, ference with the freedom of employees. But during and after the war we must learn to accept restrictions of individual freedom when resulting benefit to all is clearly established. Autocratically; geiverned noun tries have a great advantage-overeieniocracies in war be- ca use they can order the. whole life.of- the peeiple to .conform to;a system- adopted for war. The free peoples must offset that advantage by conferring more authority, on our rulers,- remembering that they do not claim' authority from the Almighty but are our rulers and'repr'esentatives by our own choice.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDWest Yale Review.

The appeal from the trenches is in- sistant: \"Smokes! Smokes!

It is a source of real companionship. By sending tobacco to the troops through Canada's Tobacco Fund, instead of in your -own way,-you derive remarkable advantages. For every quarter you subscribe a lad at the front will receive 50 good Canadian Cigarettes, one fifth of a pound of Can manufactured Tobacco, a packet of matches and a postcard on which he may thank the- donor. This parcel, if brought in a shop and posted in the ordinary way would cost nearly a denial-. So you obtain four times the value of your quarter by sending it to Canada's Tobacco Fund. Do not delay.
