BC Historical Newspapers
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).

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.

Corn- Ottawa, Aug. 29.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½An 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.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ &' 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.

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. Laterï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½The 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 Stewartï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½replied 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 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ 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 twoï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½they 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. Among' the floral offerings was a cross of ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ chrysanthemums from Mis. Schubert; wreaths from Mrs. Boeing and Mrs. Deardorf; cut flowers from Mrs. S. L. Smith, Mrs. M. K. Rodgers,, and Mrs. Greenhill; roses from Harry Swan; while from Fairview came cut flowers from Mrs. Lambly, Mrs. Parkinson, Mrs. J. R. Brown, Mrs. Bate and Mrs. Hardie. The fun era 1 on Monday was evidence of the great, esteem in which she was held. cause he was considered the ablest conductor in the service.

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,ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ 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 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ 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 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½in 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 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½those 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 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ 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.

The Big Boston Store at Penticton which made such a noise during the month of August is a thing of the past and the firm Taylor and Lidstone, if there happened to be two moreof them, would by this time be scattered to the four winds of heaven, but as there are only two of them they have only gone to two nf the winds, and what the creditors want to know at the present time, i;' which particular two they have, gone to. 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 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½apparent that the wholesalers wore the men that they intended to victimize, and it took these a few weeks to catch oil. The older man of the firm wits the first'to clear out, with a. cock and bull story of going to Winnipeg to look after.a shipment of umbrellas that had been held up, The younger stuck it out until the thirty days were nearly up, but he got away before the wholesalers arrived on the scene.

THE BALL. 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 Fraï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½sers 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 enteredï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Breen 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 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ 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 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ 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. Below is the score : 100 Y.ums.
