Conway and Mr. H. Ballion Despite the faol that the rain showers on Saturday morning May 24, delayed the starting of the Tennis Tournament until 11.15 a.m., the ployers were ready to commence the moment the courts were dry enough to permit their playing. Eleven games of twenty points each were played, finishing at 7 p.m. with Mrs. J. Conway taking the ladies first prize, her score being 211 points out of possible 220. Mr. H. Baillon took gentle man's first prize with possible 220 points. The players were much indebted to Mr. Ted Mahon, of -the Hotel also to Mr. Harris, of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, who substituted for two members that were unavoidably absent. The success of the tournament was due chiefly to the splendid co-operation of those taking part also to the secretary of the Tennis Cluli, Mr. George Lace, and Mr. R. H. Manzer who devoted much time in arranging the programme for this new innovation in local tennis circles. Prizes were presented by Mrs. Eve who made a few brief remarks appropriate to the occasion. Big Log Boom Leaves Alice Arm The first boom of logs to leave the camp of the Abbotsford Logging Co. was shipped to Ocean Falls on Monday, when the tugboat Cape Scott left with 1. million feet. There are still three million feet in the water and this amount will be increased to four million feet when the logs from the camp of E. J. Trembly are boomed, which will be in about two weeks. The tug returned on Thursday night for another boom of logs, having anchored the first boom down the coast. Homestake Mine Will Operate Mr. A. C. H. Gerhardi, general manager of the Homestake Mine, arrived in Alice Arm on Thursday, from Vancouver. Mr. Gerhardi states that development work on the Homestake will be commenced as soon as possible. Anyox Baseball and Football Games Mine Ball Teams Defeat Elks On Tuesday evening the Elks went down to defeat at the hands of the Mine ball tossers, to the tune of 4-2. The Mine chased over three runs in the first inning, due to Hall's wilduess coupled , with two hits and an error. The Mine added another in the fourth stanza. C. Ferguson pitched first class ball for the Mine and after the first inning was never in danger. Cody relieved Hall in the fifth and had no trouble. The teams were: Mine, J. Kirk c, C. Ferguson p., O. Kirk 1st b., O'Brien 2nd b., f. Brown s.s., Allen 3rd b., Anderson l.f., Elliott r.f., Dean c.f.

Smelter Footballers Defeat Mint)^ On Thursday evening the Mine football club suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands (or feet) . of the Smelter aggregation. The game was very fast and clean. The score when the final whistle blew was 3 goals to 2. McKeown and Cane played well for the losers, while Twaddle showed exceptionally well for the winners. Mine Defeats Beach Monday evening the Mine defeated the Beach in a very loose and slow game of football. The Beach in a very loose and slow game of football. The Beaoh passed up many opportunities to score after working the ball right up to the goal., The score was Mine 5, Beach 3. The ball game Friday night between the Smelter and Elks was called in the third inning on account of rain. The soore stood nothing to nothing. E. J. Conway is Conservative Standard Bearer For Atlin Edmund John Conway, mining engineer ,was unanimously chosen as the candidate for the Atiin constituency, at the Conservative Convention at Anyox, on Thursday. Mr. Conway is a native son. He received his early education in the public schools of the province at Chernainous. After being in charge of the E. & N. telegraph lines and later, Deputy Inspeotor of Customs at Ladysmith, he departed to Montreal and took a course in mining. After completing a second course, he joined the staff of the Granby Co. in 1912 and has worked for them ever since. At present he holds the position of field engineer. At the public meeting following the convention, Rev. J. B. Gibson introduced Mr. Conway. He also gave an introductory speech to which Mr. Conway suitably replied. Speeches were also made by Mrs. A. J. Wheatley, of Alice Arm, and Mr. R. H. Manzer. • - After the meeting, the floor was cleared and all tripped the light fantastic to the strains of the popular Anyox orchestra.

The orchestra consisting of Messrs. Cole, at piano, White, violin and E. Waterman traps, excelled themselves, and not a dull moment prevailed throughout the evening. Confetti and serpentine played a prominent part and the refreshments were above the usual standard. The home waltz brought to an end one of the most enjoyable festivals that Anyoxites have experienced for some time. After a series of olose and excit< ing games the Alice Arm Empire Day Tennis Tournament was won by Mrs. R. F. McGinnis and Mr. C. Warner. Mr. James McAleenan, an old resident of Alice Arm was in town for a few days during the week. We wash out everything but the Income Tax, and we return everything but the dirt.—Alice Arm Electric Laundry. High-Rigger Tops Giant Spruce Tree One of the giant spruce trees of the Kitsault flats lost its head on Tuesday when D. McQueen, high- rigger for the Granby Co. took off the top 140 feet from the ground. The remaining portion whioh will be used as a spar tree was 20 inches in diameter at the cut. It stands about 1200 feet in the woods from the camp. Quite a number of people from town were on hand to witness a high-rigger at his perilous work, and a number of photographs were taken at different stages of the work. The first boxing tournament to be,staged in Alice Arm, was held at the Coliseum, on Empire Day at 8 p.m. One hundred and thirty four paid for admission, and so great was the enthusiasm shown that it is probable the promoters will stage another tournament during the summer. Among the spectators were several veterans of the ring; young hopefuls who expect some day to achieve pugilistic honors, and a sprinkling of the fair sex were also present. Three juvenile prliminaries were held pri.or to the main bouts. The first was between Billy Ness and Jimmy Ness. The second: Teddy Kergin and Roy Bakke. The third being between two Anyox lads: Robt. Moffatt and Farnell. The first main bout was an exhibition between Gordon of Anyox _ and Tom Sherman of Alice Arm. Gprdon substituting for Archie Smith who could not come,over from the smelter town. It was an interesting bout with Sherman the aggressive man throughout Gordon being outclassed. The next bout was where the , heavyweights got busy. Ed. (Battling) Hill, 210 pounds, and Sam (Mixer) Wiiistrom, 178 pounds, being the contestants. This bout was full of surprises and thrills, for the Mixer started to mix 'em up at the break-a-way of the hand-shake. He landed with the right in quick succession, followed by a clinch, and the referee who attempted to seperate them got a near K. O. from a blow intended for the battler. The fight was stopped when it was seen that the - Marquis of Queensbury rules were being torn up, but the crowd were satisfied with the exhibition and that's everything. The last bout; the main event of the evening was a high class exhibition between Ed. Craggs, Anyox, and C. Drennan, Alice Arm. The weight of both contestants was 140 pounds. A good exhibition of the art of self defence was put up by both, and at the end of a snappy three- round contest, Craggs was given the decision. Mr. S. Dumas was the announcer, and he made a short speech at the opening of the tournament. Frank Bishop was referee: of the preliminaries, while Jimmy Trinder held down the same position for * the main bouts. G. W. Bruggy was timekeeper. ALICE ABM AND ANYOX HEBALD, Alice Arm.

HIGHEST PEAK IN CANADIAN ROCKIES The fact that the government will repair the right-of-way of the Dolly Varden railway track, so that pack horses can travel from Alice Arm to Camp 8, is welcome news to the people of the town. The Dolly Varden railway is the only means of communication with the upper Kitsault valley, and when this route is not available for transportation, the death knell for mining in Alice Arm has been rung. It would be extremely satisfactoty if the government could put the railway in a state of repairs for the hauling of supplies by hand-car or motor power, or force the owners to do so. The latter policy would be far better, as it might force the hand of the owners to sell their mining properties or work it themselves. If the owners refused to repair the railway and operate it, it may be possible for it to revert to the government, who could then convert it into a first-class auto road, at a reasonable expense. As owners of the railway right-of- way the government would possess an asset which would shortly pay huge dividends, tapping as it does the richest mineral area in British Columbia. Annual Report of\\ Granby Mining Company We should all be interested in the prosperity of the town of Alice Arm. What good citizen is not? A good deal of the prosperity of any town depends on the local support received. We are only casting bread upon the waters when we boost for our town. We do not need to concern ourselves about who holds the title to certain properties. All instrumentalities which minister to the comfort, service, and education of our citizens are assets of the town and its people. Encouragement of citizens to go ahead and spend their money to furnish service, necessities and comforts for other citizens means progress and growth. Such activities need to be encouraged in order that they might succeed. When any individual enterprise succeeds it means that the town is forging ahead. Let us put • our desire for further growth and development in concrete form by resolving to do these things. Best cure for longing for the, old home town is to go back there and try it again. The annual report of the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Co. Ltd. has been pub- ished, and following are the most interesting portions of the report. Summarizing the results and activities of the past year, Col. Grabbs says: Plant Additions. The const, ruction program is substantially finished. With the completion of the storage dam, cheap power is now assured throughout the year, except in extreme emergency, to meet which (and for heating purposes) the steam plant will be held in reserve. Shop, hoisting, air and power facilities have been rounded out to supply anticipated needs. Future smelting of barren quartz for flux has been eliminated by equipment of the "Outsider" mine, now in operation, as is also the new concentrator mill at Anyox. While all of these factors make for lower costs, completion of the Anyox concentrator is of particular advantage in that it solves troublesome metallurgical problems, makes available additional ore not yet incorporated as a part • of reserves, and increases former plant capacity by upwards of 30 per cent. Property Additions. Your Company has acquired through exchange of Granby stock, 99.75% of the outstanding stock of the Allenby Copper Company, Ltd. (N. P. L.) and control management of the property was assumed May 17, 1923. Diamond drilling ' and development have been earned on at the mine, mill aud mine equipment has been reconditioned, heavy rolls have been added to the crushing plant, and Dorr tank installation provided for recovery of waste process water, including flotation reagents. The property will be kept in readiness for operation, which will be commenced at the earliest date deemed expedient. During 1923 earnings were adversely affected by low copper market for the last half of the year; by two wage increases, operative over a major portion of the year; by material and unavoid able expense in repairing damages occasioned by fire and flood (with further loss incident to shut down created thereby), and by plant overhaul program. Considering these additions to costs, the results obtained are better than the record of 1922, and were accomplished with a net reduction of less than 4% in known ore reserves. It is gratifying to add that costs for the Continued on page S /m'i ^ -*-0% .7/4v>^.-^_^ __*J_ __!_ -»a»»*"*"%.____ ' «*.~"3K __Rw JM»» «a"-T ^~#»t_, -—•-... _j s»S||S *««*#«' . .****■*« *»_•«*' mm THE Alpine Club of Canada will this year hold its annual camp at the foot of Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, which towers 18,068 feet above sea level. Mount Robson Park, named from the mountain which it surrounds, is a favorite stopping place for tourists from United States points who make the Triangle Tour of the Canadian National Railways, which embraces Vancouver, Jasper and Mount Robson Parks and Prince Rupert with a Journey over the in- _P_fl land seas of the Pacific coast on one of the Canadian National Pacific Coast Steamships. Among other things, Mount Robson can be regarded as the most frequently photographed mountain in the whole of Canada, the Continental Limited of the Canadian National Railways stopping for five minutes at the foot of this monarch of the Rockies in order that tourists who are passing through may secure photographs showing its lofty, snow-capped peak. Just outside of the boundaries of I the National Park is one of the. finest big-game hunting grounds of the continent, where black, cinnamon and grizzly bear abound and where other big game, such as bighorn mountain sheep and mountain goat3 are to be found in great numbers. Hundreds of hunters annually make Mount Robson their headquarters for their excursions into the passes of this region after big game, for here excellent accommodation may be .secured either during the summer tourist season or later in the fall when the hunters are out after their qaarrjr.

Through diamond drilling and development work there were added to the high grade reserve, 340,000 toiis. There were mined from the high grade 695,290 tons, leaving a balance of 8.600,700 tons in the high grade reserve, of 2% copper. Supplementing this, there has been segregated an additional reserve, too low in grade to he considered as smelting ore, but which will be mined and concentrated together with parts of the high grade reserve. This segregation consists of 1,440,700 tons of 1% copper and is susceptible of increase, both through mining operations and economic conditions. Maple Bay Group—"'Outsider."

Let us show them by our votes that British Columbia is in earnest; that we are determined to win this fight for equalized freight rates—equal charge for equal service throughout Canada; that we must have free and unrestricted use of the Panama Canal; that by natural heritage and moral right __ We are entitled to representation on national directorates; in short, that we demand the right of this Province to develop and grow. John Oliver, with his great, homely common-sense and dogged fighting qualities, supported by his Liberal Government, has carried this fight to the interests which are retarding our growth and prosperity. John Oliver and fiis Government made the first real fight for equalized freight rates; equal consideration in the expenditure of public monies for harbor improvement, with the resulting grain elevators, docks, etc., for British Columbia. John Oliver and his Government are fighting for these fundamentals of prosperity which will ensure for us factory pay-rolls; a niarket for our agricultural products; the development of our natural resources; all of which will benefit every person in this Province. John Oliver, the head of the Liberal Government in British Columbia, has the ear of the Honorable Mackenzie King, the head of the Liberal Government at Ottawa; and if the people of British Columbia demonstrate by their votes that they are in accord with John Oliver's fight, we in British Columbia will benefit to a far greater extent than we would if Mr. Bowser or General McRae were placed in power. i .■ [ - pisregard petty issues, disregard personal sentiment, and for the welfare of this Province and its economic development, and for your own best interests, return John Oliver and his Government to Victoria on June twentieth.

THE MINISTER OF MINES, VICTORIA, British Columbia PROSPERITY Get Behind Oliver's Fight for Equalized Freight Rates and Bigger Pay Rolls r\\N June twentieth—Election Day—the Dominion ^ Government, the Railway Corporations, and the Big Interests of Eastern Canada must be shown by the support that we accord the Honorable John Oliver that we are determined to grow and expand. Every vote for a Liberal Candidate is a vote for John Oliver, which is in efiect an official message to Ottawa and the East that we in British Columbia are solidly behind the Oliver fight for conditions which are fundamental to the prosperity of every man, woman and child in this province. Let us show them by our votes that British Columbia is in earnest; that we are determined to win this fight for equalized freight rates—equal charge for equal service throughout Canada; that we must have free and unrestricted use of the Panama Canal; that by natural heritage and moral right we are entitled to representation on national directorates; in short, that we demand the right of this Province to develop and grow. John Oliver, with his great, homely common-sense and dogged fighting qualities, supported by his Liberal Government, has carried this fight to the interests which are retarding our growth and prosperity. John Oliver and his Government made the first real fight for equalized freight rates; equal consideration in the expenditure of public monies for harbor improvement, with the resulting grain elevators, docks, etc., for British Columbia. John Oliver and his Government are fighting for these fundamentals of prosperity which will ensure for us factory pay-rolls; a market for our agricultural products; the development of our natural resources; all of which will benefit every person in this Province. John Oliver, the head of the Liberal Government in British Columbia, has the ear of the Honorable Mackenzie King, the head of the Liberal Government at Ottawa; and if the people of British Columbia demonstrate by their votes that they are in accord with John Oliver's fight, we in British Columbia will benefit to a far greater extent than we would if Mr. Bowser or General McRae were placed in power. Disregard petty issues, disregard personal sentiment, and for the welfare of this Province and its economic development, and for your own best interests, return John Oliver and his Government to Victoria on June twentieth.

In addition to a record turn-out of Alice Arm people, a large number of Anyox visitors came over to take part in the proceedings, and spend the day amid the pleasant surroundings of the town. A baseball game followed the races, between two teams picked from Anyox visitors and Alice Arm, and in one of the most interesting and exciting games of the season, Alice Arm managed to eke out a precarious win over Anyox by a score of 16-14. After a batting rally in the eighth inning gave the local boys a lead. It was a hard game for the visitors to lose as Fitzpatriok had pitched in good form until the eighth, when he was batted freely, he was replaced by Moore who finished the game in good style. Duly Dean made a brilliant display as a catcher, aud had everything a catcher needed to make a name for himself, also was there at the bat scoring four runs for his team. The looal boys played snappy ball after they got over the disastrous fourth inning, when the visitors scored seven runs. Tlie teams were: Anyox, Dean, Fitzpatrick, Swanson, V. Moore, L.

When Verendrye came to the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers in 1738 he established Fort Rouge. The Northwest Company, sixty years later, established Port Gibraltar, and a few years later Port Douglas, named after Thomas Douglas, the fifth Earl of Selkirk, was constructed by the Hudson's Bay Company. Many stories are told of conflicts between the servants of the Hudson's Bay and North- West Companies, but the feuds terminated with the amalgamation of the two companies in 1821, and the first Port Garry was erected as a trading post and settlers' depot. This was an elaborate structure with stone walls, bastions and portholes. On 1831 the building of Lower Port Garry, 19 miles down the river was commenced. This was for a time the residence of the Governor of Rupert's Land and the seat of government. In 1835 Upper Fort Garry was begun at the junction of the two rivers and this was the centre of business, government, education and public affairs for more than 30 years, and was the nucleus of the present city of Winnipeg. The Port was sold in 1882 and the front gate, now .owned by tbe city aiid standing beside tbe new Fort Garry, the hotel of the Canadian National Railways, is all that remains of this historic group of buildings.
