Cranbrook celebrated Dominion day, and tbe celebration was n record- breaker fnr Bast Kootenay. Tin.* people poured in here from every pan of the listrict. They came liy rail, by stage, iy wagon, ou eayusei' ami afoot, Fernie people crowded the special train; Klko, Cranston and Warduer joined tlietn. Fort Steele wuh depopulated, and Mnyie turned out iu full force. They left the towns, the Ui lues, the prospects nml the trails to join in the grand jollification, mnl wben the day closed there was but sentiment ami one expression among thc visitors, and lhat was. to Ihe ■•fleet that Cranbrook was all right. The program of sports was :i good one ami it well carried out- The day was all tbat could have been desired from early morn to dewey eve. ami lo one and all it was a happy and ii joyful occasion. At y:.(5. after the arrival of the passenger trains from tlie east and west, a procession was formed under tbe supervision of A. VV.

The baseball and football hoy-, fulled to get together in time, but hoth teams were represent* ed, The Fort Steele band took tbe lead, followed by the bicycle hoys, the hall players and the Indian band. They marched up linker street and return and then to the Athletic association grounds, «here the program of the day was opened with the football game between Fort Steele and Cranhrook, .vhieh re Milted in a victory for the home team llie next event was the baseball game between Fcrute and Cranbrook) and tbe visitors wenl down in a glorious defeat.

The day wns rather warm for football, still the'hoys of huth teams went at it wilh a vim and dash that showed a determination to win if possible. The gnme started nt 11 a. ui , the Fort Steele team being somewhat late in arriving. C. M. Edwards acted as referee and mnde n very impartial one, and was satisfactory to both tennis. Fori Steele won the toss and played with the stm in their hacks. Cranhrook scored their only goal in the first half. Billie ROBS got several other pretty hot ones to stop. The Steele forwards did some excellent combination work ami many times got within easy scoring dis* tance of the Cranbrook goal, hut the inability to shoot lost them the game. During the second half the play was much ihe same nnd waa ns warmly con tested as during the first. It was during this half that Steele got their only shot in on the Crnnbrook Hags, and it came very near scoring. At the call of time tbe score still stood i to o, and the mid als remained in Cranbrook. The teams arid officials were as follows: Fort Steele—Coal, \\V It Ross; backs.

The game of Baseball between the Fernie and Craubrook clubs was a walk away for the home team. The contest was tbe first match game of baseball ever played between two towns in East Kootenay. The visitors put up a very good game hut were weak in their pilch- j ers, ami this gave the Craubrook club a big advantage. The score stood 31 toy at the end of five innings when the name was called to permit the spectator!* lo lake'in the sports on the race track Prank Rankin umpired the game and gave the best uf satisfaction.

A loose oming jicket of light color, black bloomers that had bloomed long ago. dark hose held aloft by pink garters thai loomed up like a wart on the end of a man's nose.

Thc 15th of October is Set as the Limit ot Time for Completing the Work. The date for receiving Bids for Builu- ing the North Star branch from Cran- brook to Kimberley has been set for Monday, July io, and Blank forms for ■eiulers have been prepared nnd given out to prospective Bidders.

M. H MacLeod, Superintendent. Messrs. R-jid. McRae, McCarty, Mc- Crimmon and McDonald are tbe contractors who have been waiting here for the p.ist two week?, and Mr. E. Kgan, inother well-known contractor, arrived last evening. It is quite probable that ill : these ge-.'.leweu will bid on the work. The form of tenders calls for bids En lwo sections, the first from Cran- brook i" St Marys, and the second from St. Marys to the terminus of the line, and also provides that the work shall lie :oni[ieted hy the 15th of October. This would indicate that the company pro- z-j-cs to pu*h ihe work forward as rapidly as possible, so as to get at the tonnage wui'.i-:g for them in the Kimberley district. It is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that no time will be lost after the bids are received. One of the contractors in the city staled to a representative of The Herald that if any of ■±v bids were accepted contracts could e-.-.;;;. be awarded in four or five doys. It vculd be necessary then for lhe men who got the contracts to return snd get their ou:iV.s here, which would take about two weeks more. In any event, work could Be uuder headway by August first, or very soon after. The people of Cranbrook have been waiting patiently but anxiously for this work, but they fully realize that it is not only a good thing for Cranbrook, but fur the whole district as well.

One of tin- men, liny Somera, luul lately returned from a three years' sojourn abroad, and hod accidentally met ot the dinner table his old college chum and dear friend, Robert Blake, a young lawyer rising in Bis profession.

"Don't be Hilary, old fellow!" hlfl friend pleaded, "I was foolish to repeat H. I might have known It was false, being well aware of your fastidious love of Beauty." "False, yes! But I would give all I own to make it true! You have heard the gosaip, shall I tell you the truth'.'" "See. here, Hob! I've uuide a mess somehow. Do forget it." "Look nt that!" said Robert, opening a small velvet case he took from hia Breast pocket. "Tell me what you thing' of It?" "It Is beautiful! Lovely] Oneofthi few faces one may call angelic." "And mind and heart are as Beautiful, as 'ongello' as the face," "I enn easily believe it. The. expression is pure and sweet, jls a babe's." "Yet you just called her a little monster." "Bob!

The Herald Has the best equipped office in the Kootenays. Its facilities for turning out first-class Job Printing are complete. Send in an order and become convinced of lhe fact. 1 was a young1 man, in the full vigor ot health, and, while ray conscience udd me very plainly taut 1 owed my lite to May Talbot, my bei.rt shrank from the only way in which I could otter it. Common sense spoke very plainly. Only us my wife eould 1 give to May the tender care, the love, that might throw some gladness Into her life. And I, like a coward, thought of the long misery of my own life tied to a deformed woman that I did not love. So 1 eame home, a slave in my own idea io my duty, and resolved to wear my chains bravely. It waa summer weather again wben I went to owl's Nest. and, to my surprise, lhe house was full of guests, most of them young people. I think thai May must have gathered Homethlug Of my intention from my let 1 era, for she wns no longer a child, nnd suffering hud made her Wuuitinly .veil beyond her years. I oiilj guessed this from her manner, I had expected to meet a frank, cousinly welcome, for our correspondence had Been like that of an affectionate Brother and sister. But May was dignified und even chilling In her greeting, it was soon evident to me that she was trying to thrust other ladies who were lier guests upon my eiiiv, and to avoid me as fur na possible."

One dny, when she wus not more grnclqm than usual, I mude her a downright offer of marriage. She wus furious! She said I insulted her!

Of the many freak communications which reach the capitol and the departments one whleh came to tbe house just before it adjourned is deserving of the proverbial biscuit. The letter was addressed to "The Congress of the United States in Washington Assembled," and cume from a resident of u small settlement In northeastern Texas. It was written in un entirely earnest spirit, it suid: "Dear Mister Congressmen: My dear wife Amanda has just Been Blest By the appeurunce of a healthy young boy. Me and my wife can't agree on no name to give the Boy and we want you to help US out. 1 wants him called Dave and she wants bim culled Cy, but she won't give in neither will 1.

The only person around tbe house to whom the letter could have gone through the regular system of diBsem- Inutlng the miscellaneous moll was the private secretary of Congressman Bailey. He communicated the contents of the letter to a uuniBer of the employes around the house. The other afternoon the secretary sent out a number of typewritten letters tu a dozen or more employes, enjoining them lo meet in one of the committee rooms. When the clerks assembled, he proposed that they, as ll substitute house Of representatives in committee of the whole should attend to the very urgent communication which he hud received, and that a suitable name should be selected for the growing young Texan. Accordingly u set of resolutions, sticklers in their form und precision, were drafted, with seal attached and signature properly fixed, and sent to the writer. They informed the Texan that the congreSB had taken cognizance of his communication, uud hud acted accordingly. "The congress, exercising a power which was vested in it by the law of 1884," suid the resolutions, "hereby designates, denominates, titles und ■allies your offspring after three distinguished scions of the ixjlie Star.
