A good strong eleven can be secured and nightly practices will be held on the athletic grounds so as to ensure fitness and to perfect team work. Middlesboro has already^organized a team and there will be at least two teams to compete for the trophies in connection with the big celebration. Last Saturday's game between Merritt and Middlesboro was called off. That team of Bob Brown's is making a splendid showing in the race, for the pennant in the Northwestern league and baseball fans of Vancouver have every reason to back the team as a winner. Tacoma is showing up well these days and it is some time since the Tigers had the, distinguished honor of leading the league.' Vancouver ball team is playing a close second to Tacoma in the race for the pennant in the Northwestern league. Last week they took the series from Seattle the last two games of which were transferred to the Sound city because of the death of King Edward. .

Calgary will have to play the Celtics at Vancouver to determine just who is who in the fight for the People's Shield in the soccer series. Jeffries is showing his old time form in the ring. He had a couple of mills with Billy Papke and Joe Choynski and showed lots of speed in the ring.

COPYRIGHT, 1906, BY G. W. DILLINGHAM COMPANY Con i CHAPTER VI.- MONTH had passed since the ..memorable meeting- of the di rectors of the Southern ami Transcontinental . railroad, in New York, and during- that time neither. John Burkett Ryder nor Judge Rossmore \"had been idle. The. former had'immediately set in motion the machinery he controlled in the legislature? \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDat Washington, .while the judge neglected no step to vindicate himself before the public. Ryder for reasons of his own \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDprobably because he wished to make the blow \"the more crushing when it did fall\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhad insisted on the proceedings at the board meeting being kept a profound secret, and some time elapsed before the newspapers got-wind of the coming congressional inquiry. No one had believed the stories about Judge Bossmore, but now that a quasi official seal had been set on the current gossip there was a howl of virtuous indignation from the journalistic muck rakers. What was the country coming. to? ]they cried in double leaded type. After the1 embezzling by life insurance officers, the rascality of the railroads, the looting of city treasuries, the greed of the trusts, the grafting .of, the legis-. , lators, had arisen a new and more ! serious scandal, the corruption of the j judiciary. The last bulwark of the , nation had fallen. The country lay j helpless at the mercy of .legalized sandbaggers. Even the judges were no longer to be trusted. The most re- soected one among them all had \\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDp\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmi unable to resist the tempter. The supreme court, the living voice. of the constitution, was honeycombed with graft. Public life was 'rotten to the -core! Neither the newspapers nor the public stopped to ascertain the- truth or the falsity of the charges against Judge Uossmore. It; was sufficient that the bribery, story furnished the daily sensation which newspaper editors and newspaper readers must. have. The. world is ever more prompt to believe ill rather, than good of a maii, and' no onej;:except in Rossmore's immediate' circle of friends, entertained the slightest doubt of'his g&fit.. It was common knowledge that'^rhe/','big interests\"! -were behind the proceedings, and that \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD rjudge Rossmore was.a scapegoat, sacrificed by the system- because he' had been, blocking their, game.\" If Ross- -inofe had really accepted the bribe, and.few now believed him spotless, he deserved all that- was coming to him. Senator. Roberts was., very active in Washington preparing the case against Judge Rossmore. The latter being of Ihe party which was in the minority, and \"the interests\" controlling a majority in the house, it was a foregone conclusion that the inquiry would be against him, and that a demand would at once be made upon the senate for his impeachment. Almost prostrated by the misfortune which had so suddenly and unexpectedly come upon him, Judge Rossmore was like a man; demented. His reason seemed to be tottering, he spoke and acted like a man in a dream. Naturally he was entirely incapacitated for work, and he had applied to.Washington to be temporarily relieved from his -judicial duties. He was instantly granted a leave of absence and went at once to his home in Madison avenue, where, he shut himself up\" in his library, sitting for hours at his desk wrestling with documents and legal tomes in a pathetic endeavor to find some way out, trying to ~elude thi^ aet .in which unseen hands had entangled him. What an eud to' his career! To* have . struggled aud achieved for-half a century, to have built up a reputation year by year, as a man builds a house brick by brick, ouly to see the whole -crumble to his-feet like dust! To have gained the respect, of the country, to have made a name as the most incor riiptible of public servants, and now to be branded as a common bribe taker! Could he be dreaming?

That extra $50,000 worth * of stock, oiT which he had never received a cent interest, had been the decoy in a carefully thought.out plot.. They,, the plotters; well knew how ignorant he was of'financial matters, and he had been an .easy victim. Who would believe his. story that the stock had been sent to him with a plausibly worded letter to the effect that it represented a bonus on his. own investment? Now he came to think of it, calmly and reasonably, he would not believe it himself. As asfual,- he had mislaid or destroyed the secretary's letter, and there was only his word against the company's books to substantiate what would appear a most improbable if not impossible occurrence. It was his conviction of his own good faith that made his present dilemma it 11 the more cruel. Had he really been a graf,ter, had he really taken the stock, as a bribe; he would not care so much,, for then he. would have -fore seen and?-discounted the chances of exposure/. Yes, there was no doubt possible. He was the victim of a con- . spiracy; there was an organized plot to ruin h\"im, to get him out of the way. The \"interests\" feared him, resented his judicial . decisions, and they had halted at, nothing to accomplish their purpose. * How could he fight them back, what could he do to protect himself? He had no proofs of a conspiracy; his' enemies worked in the dark; there was no way in which he could reach them or know who they -were. -: \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\u00BD\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\u00BD ./....' ' He thought of John Burkett Ryder. Ah, he; -remembered now! Ryder was the man' who had recommended the investment in Alaskan stock. Of,> course. Why did he.not think of it before? He recollected, that at the time he had been puzzled at receiving so much stbek, and he had mentioned it to Ryder,' adding that the secretary had told hiuf it was customary. Oh. why had he not kent the secretary's letter\"/ :;m- i>yder,.\vouiii certainly remein ner it. He probriufj. still had his two letters in which he.- spoke of. making the investment. If those letters could be produced at the congressional inquiry they would clear him at once, so, losing no time and filled with renewed hope, he wrote to the Colossus a strong, manly letter,\"which would have melted an iceberg, urging Mr. Ryder to come forward now at this critical time and clear him of this abominable charge, or in any case to kindly return the two letters he must have in his possession, as they would go far to help him at the trial. Three days passed and no reply from Ryder. On the fourth came a polite but frigid note from Mr. Ryder's private secretary. Mr. Ryder had received Judge Rossmore's letter and in reply begged to state that he had a vague recollection of some conversation with the judge in regard- to investments, but he did not think !_,e had advised the purchase of any particular stock, as that was something he never did on principle, eyen with his most intimate friends: He had no wish to be held accountable In case of loss, etc. As to the letter .\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDvhich Judge Rossmore mentioned as aaving written to Mr. Ryder in regard to haying received more stock than lie had bought, of that Mr. Ryder had no recollection whatever. Judge Rossmore was probably mistaken as to the identity of his correspondent. He regretted he could not be of more service to Judge Rossmore and remained his very obedient servant. . It was very evident thiat no help was to be looked for in that quarter. There was even decided, hostility in Ryder's reply. Could it be true that the financier was really behind these attacks upon his character? Was itpossibh* thai one man. merely to make more money, would deliberately ruin, his fellow man whose hand he had grasped in friendship? He had been unwilling to be lieve itwhen his friend ex-Judge Stoti had \"pointed to Ryder as the author o: all .his misfortunes, but this unsympathetic letter, with its falsehoods, its lies, plainly written all over its face was proof enough. Yes, there wa now no doubt possible. John Burket' Ryder was his enemy, aud what a:, enemy! Many a man had committed suicide, when, he had incurred the en inity of the Colossus. Judge Rossmore completely discouraged, bowed his liead to the inevitable, but he sent for his old friend ex-.Judge Stott. :': They were lifelong friends, having become acquainted\" nearly thirty year?, ago at the law school, at the time when both were young men .about to enter;on a public career..

He was still a young man, not yet fifty, and full of vigor and fight. He had a blunt manner, but his heart was in the; right place, and he had a record as clean as his close shaven face. He was a hard worker, a brilliant speaker and one of the cleverest cross examiners at the bar. This was the man to whom Judge Rossmore naturally turned for legal assistance. Stott was out west when he first 'heard of the proceedings against his old friend/and this indignity put upon the only really honest man in public life whom he knew,-so incensed him that he \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD was already hurrying back to his aid when the summons reached Meantime a fresh and more serious calamity had overwhelmed Judge Rossmore. Everything seemed to combine to break the spirit of this man who had dared defy the power of organized capital. Hardly had the news of the congressional inquiry been made public, than the financial world was startled by an extraordinary slump in Wall street. There was nothing iii the news of the day to justify a decline, but prices fell and fell. The bears had it all their own way. the big interests hammered stocks al! along the line, \"coppers\" especially being the object of attack. The market.closed feverishly, and the next day the same tactics were pursued. From the opening, on selling orders coming from no one knew where, prices fell to nothing, a stampede followed, and before long it became a panic. Pandemonium reigned on the floor of the Stock Exchange. White faced disheveled brokers shouted and struggled like men possessed to execute, the orders of their .clients. Big financial houses which stood to lose millions on a falling market rallied and by rush orders to buy attempte'd to stem the tide, but all to no purpose. One firm after another went by the board, unable to weather the tempest, until just before closing time the stock ticker announced the failure of the Great Northwestern Mining company. The drive in the market had been principally directed against its securities, and after vainly endeavoring to check the bear raid it had been compelled to declare itself bankrupt. It was heavily involved, assets nil, stock almost worthless. It was probable\" that the creditors would not see' 10-cents on the dollar. Thousands were ruined, and Judge Rossmore among them. All the savings of a lifetime\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnearly $55,000- were gone. He was practically penniless at a time when he heeded iribney most. He still owned his house in Madison avenue, but that would have to go to settle with his creditors. By the time everything was paid there would only, remain enough for a modest competence. As to his salary, of course he could not touch that so long as this accusation was. hanging over his head, and if he were impeached it would ; stop altogether. The salary, therefore, was not to be counted on. They must manage as best they could and live more cheaply, taking a small house somewhere in the outskirts of the city, where he could prepare his case quietly without attracting attention. Stott thought this was the best thing they could do, and he volunteered to relieve his friend by taking on his own hands all the arrangements of the sale of the house and furniture, which offer the judge accepted only too gladly. Meantime Mrs. Rossmore went to Long Island to see what could be had, and she found at the little village of Massapequa just what they were looking for\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa commodious, neatly furnished two story cottage at a modest rent- air\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDOf\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDeotirse^rit\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwas^nothing\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDlike\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD what they \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD had been accustomed to. but it was clea>? and comfortable, and. as Mrs. Rossmore said, rather tactlessly, beggars cannot be choosers. Perhaps it would not be for long. Instant possession was to be had, so a deposit was paid on the spot, and a few days later the Rossmores left their mansion on Madison avenue and took up their residence in Massapequa, where their advent created quite a fluster in local social circles.

THE TELEGRAPH SERVICE 9 There is something radically wrong with the C. P. R. telegraph service. From time to time we have entered strenuous protests against the seaious delay in transmission of ^messages and this protest nas only been in common with similar protests emanating from the board of trade and other sources. Messages filed in Vancouver early in the morning have never reached Merritt or Nicola until late into the afternoon and oftentimes not until the following day. As one well known merchant remarked, and truthfully too, ' 'it is almost as satisfactory to write because the letter often reaches its . destination before a telegram.\"1 In^an effort to get at the base of the trouble, investigations have been conducted on a private part, aiid the invariable result is that the responsibility is placed with the office atSpences Bridge. There the messages are relayed and the operators are so burdened with work that it is often hours before they can send the messages on into Merritt or Nicola. The News operates an expensive press service and pays a good, round sum for the maintenance of a correspondent at Van- vcouver, for in this way we secure the benefit. of the associated press service. Press matter is always late in reaching us, however, and we have known dif- ^if^ent^instances^wheife^itp-hgio been filed in Vancouver early on Friday jmorning and it did not reach us until late in the afternoon. On one or two occasions it was filed Thursday night and we did not get it before three btelock Friday afternoon. This delay is serious because not only does it retard the publication of the paper but it means that we t cannot use all the press matter because of the late hour at which it is received. Therein lies a loss because we are paying formatter that we are not in a position to use as a result of the unsatisfactory I telegraph' service. But we have another and more serious, protest to offer; and one that demands searching investigation on the part of the telegraph department of the C. P. R. Press messages serit to The News are as private as.- an ordinary message to a private party and we pay our good money for them. But on different occasions the purport of these messages became public property before they were delivered to us. Only last week on the occasion of the death of our late lamented King we Were provided with complete service. No other parties in the valley were informed by wire of the death of the king, but the information was given to the public even before it was given to us. The result was that our service lost its effectiveness. Our esteemed contemporary, a paper that never subscribes to a telegraph or press service, was enabled to publish the story of the King's death at the expense of our service. The Herald is averse to paying for a press service by wire but still they were given the advantage of a service for which we have to pay pretty dearly. It might also be mentioned that a part of these messages were filed at Vancouver early in the morning but it was well into the afternoon before they reached us. c This leakage should be checked at once. It-, is a serious matter and one that demands. immediate investigation. It is unfair to . The News and unfair to our readers that we should thus be robbed of the privileges for which we are held financially responsible. If the C. P. R. proposes to make public the text of all press messages addressed to The News then it devolves upon the C. P. R. to undertake the expense of this service, but if on the other'hand The News must continue to pay :for the service then it is up to the C. P. R. to see to it that our messages are held in privacy and thus retain to us and to our readers the value that*accrues from: a modern and complete press service.

Edward VII is no more and George V rules in his stead. Like a .bolt from a clear blue sky came the sad intelligence that our beloved sovereign had succumbed to an acute attack of bronchitis. The world was not aware of his serious illness and it was not until an official bulletin was issued a short time previous to the end that the critical state of His Majesty was really known. King Edward had not been in robust health for some time and it was only a few weeks ago that he was stricken with an attack ol bronchitis at Biarritz though no anxiety was attached to his illness. Some of his friends are inclined to the theory that the acute political crises was in a measure responsible for his death and it may be that thisis true in a sense. Coming as it does at one of the most crucial stages of England's history, King Edward's death is an irreparable . loss. Well may we say that he has ever been a strong regulative force in the direction of the constitutional system of the~Tia*tioir and the value of-his extreme wisdom and judgment in matters political has been almost inestimable. \"Edward the Peacemaker\" was one of the epithets familiar with the name of the late sovereign and no higher tribute could be paid to his worth than is found in the silent testimony of the kindred love and respect with, which he was regarded throughout the length and breadth of Europe and the entire universe. ' . \" Kaiser\" William is possibly one of the-most self-reliant, monarchs known to modern history and still withal this strudy ruler would bow to the sane, reasonable, judicious and diplomatic words of England's late monarch!.' The younger crown heads of Europe always had in him a close friend and advisor and it is no idle,.boast to say that no man has eyer wielded a broader or better influence for good, than did King Edward VII. With\" a wise hand he wafted the wand of ^arbitration with the result that, many international disputes have -found a-.peaceful settlement with him and universal peace has been the result of his unceasing effort. * He was ever an exponent of peace and there is not a nation in the world but has bowed with respect and: reverence to his influence and power. England has lost her greatest and noblest king, a statesman, a diplomat. Strong in character, kindly in disposition, affable in nature he won his way to the hearts of his people and as a monarch and as a man he was beloved and honored in all circles. One of his most notable faculties was a keen executive power, and in the direction of the affairs of state he has employed a wonderful ability replete with tactfulness and justice. His duty was ever nearest his heart, and;nothing furnishes a more striking evidence of this thai?the incident just prior to his death when he raised froni :tnfe death bed to direct certain affairs of state that were brought to his attention. 'T know'the end is near, but I think I have done my duty.'- His dying words are typical of the man Jor he met the inevitable with the same, resignation and firmness that had characterised his service in life. # England is laboring in the midst of the most serious political crisis in its history, and it is deplorable that King -Edward shouldbetakenTfiiray-atthis ^crucial-moment JorJhe\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD_ of all men would haye had the largest influence in solving the national problems that have hovered as clouds over the head of thenation for Weeks. ; . King Edward entered into the. lives of his people. He romped with the hunters. He strode through the race paddocks with the horsemen. He communed with the farmer. He was ever in touch with the business life\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDin brief there was no department of social, commercial or industrial activity that did not know his kindly presence or the influence of his directing hand. The new King, George V, is very much of the same type as his father. He enters upon the kingly office at the age of forty-five years and in the prosecution of his royal duties he could not do better than follow the~ pattern that has been woven by his worthy sir. It is a tremendous task to take up the regal duties at this critical moment, but the experience of the past can and must serve as a wonderful aid. That he will have/a long and glorious reign is the fond hope of his millions of subjects, and towards this end we join with the countless throngs in voicing that old but ever sweet ,| refrain, \"God save our gracious King, long live our noble. King, God Save the King.\" *,- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDW\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDW\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIV\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDl^<_fe^,r>0ro't^?T5K^WSW WW.\" LtM'lJI I \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD/__\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD J\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\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Friday, May 13, 1910 THE NICOLA VALLEY NEWS I ' I -\. t,\ iif L ffl 111 I !Nt' u I CLINTON ASSIZES Justice Gregory presided at the Clinton assizes last week.
