I Keremeos baseball team made its debut for the season of 1909 on Saturday, when the players journeyed to Oroville for a two-game engagement—a sort of experimental match on the part of the Keremeos- ites, who, having a mostly new combination this year, wished to find out how they were likely to size up with neighboring clubs. The playing, while not brilliant j enough to excite envy in a National Leaguer, was good enough for a lirst-of-the-season game, and the score good enough to satisfy the Kcremeosites, considering their streaks of hard lick, and to convince them of their ability to hold I heir own with most likely comers. The first game, played on Saturday evening, vvas a seven innings game, the score being 7 to 2 in favor of Oroville. In this game, in the absence of McDougall, who had been engaged for the position, Mr. Ross, a traveler who happened to be in Keremeos on Saturday and accompanied the boys down, obligingly acted as catcher, and did remarkably well considering his lack ot recent practice. Tommy Daly , showed himself stronger than ever in the box, making the splendid mark of 12 struck out in the six innings. Hut with an unaccustomed catcher and a number of errors in the field the score went on the side of the home team. The second game, played on Sunday, vvas about as close as they make them. McDougall had arrived from Fernie, and took his place as catcher, but for some reas- on could not stop Daly's sw ift j curves, and before the end of the • first innings gave place to Ross. In the ninth innings came a critical play. Keremeos had iwo runs to make in order to tie, or three to win, with two men out, two on bases, and D.tly at the hat. Daly hit hard and brought home the two men on bases, but vvas himself nipped at the home plate on a close decision so close that he vvas prob- ahl\\ safe in. In the tenth inning Oroville scored 2 and won. The return match will be played here on the 24th of May. lhe Keremeos team this year includes Knaiirf of Nighthawk as | shortstop and Oly of Chopaca in the field. It is practically a new combination throughout, and not yet working quite smoothly, but it contains good material and with a little practise will be able to put the best of them on their mettle. Suit For Okanagan Land. Three sisters and a brother living in Omagh, Ireland, are seeking in the supreme court of Hritish Columbia to recover property worth over $100,000, in the upper country, to which thev claim they became entitled over two years ago, on the death of their brother, though they did not know that he was the owner of it until two years ago. They are Jane Smith, James Armstrong, Margaret Glen and Eliza Campbell, and the defendants to the action they bring are Thomas Ellis and the South Okanagan Land company, against whom a declaration is asked by the plaintiffs that they are the owners of the land in question. Hugh Armstrong, a brother of the plaintiffs, vvas killed in the upper country in 1886, and he left lot 158, containing about 160 acres, in the I'entieton district. This property upon his death passed through different hands into those of Mr. Kllis, who sold it to the land company two years ago. After the death of the brother, Hugh Armstrong, Itis brother James came up and took out letters of administration, but he claims now that he only administered the personal estate and was not aware that his brother possessed this land. Lively Times at the Border. Bellingham, May 2.—Thirty-five burly Russians have been turned back repeatedly at points on the Canadian border north of here by American immigration inspectors. Twice the men have been returned to Vancouver under guard, but singly and in twos and threes are again being caught along the border. Twelve of the men were turned back because afflicted with trachoma, the others as probable criminals or paupers. The Muscovites are charged with many petty crimes across the Canadian line, I living oil' the country while they j try to cross into the United States. Several are now being held at Su- nias and may be deported to Russia direct. D. L. McKlroy sold the Phoenix- Greenwood stage to Archie Gillis and Hugh Lang of Greenwood. The two Dagos who murdered Kdwanl Green ot Montreal were hanged at Andover, N.H., on Tuesday. Radclille, the public executioner, having asked double his usual rates, Sheriff Tibbits hanged the men himself. The mines of Rossland are em- ploving at present 565 men and the payroll per month is $58,000. In 1905 the average number employed was 777 men and in 1908 it was something over 800 for the year. Provincial and General. The Vancouver Island railway is to be extended at once to Alberni. R. J. Watson, from Burk's Falls, Ont., has started a planing mill at Revelstoke. Kelowna will get a grant of $803 for a school, on condition that site and building cost $25,000. Richard Baxter Bassett and Margaret Allison McLellan, of Okanagan were married on the 26th ult. Penticton cannery complains of the freight rate to Vancouver—71 cents per cwt., while from" Ontario to Vancouver the rate is only $1.0S. The crew making the final survey down the Okanogan river for the Wenatchee-Oroville branch of the Great Northern is making good headway. W. ti. T. Gahan, of Penticton, and Miss Gwyndclen Clegg, of Cl- verston, Lancashire, Kngland, were married at the latter place on the 14th of April. The mill of the Fraser River Lumber Co. at New Westminster cut 481,000 feet of lumber in one day, which is claimed to be a world's record. A raid on two gambling joints in Ladysmith resulted in the arrest of thirty-three persons. Smith, the proprietor of one of the houses, was sent to jail for six months. The Great Northern railway of England has placed an order with the Dominion Iron and Steel Co. for 5000 tons of steel rails to be made at Sydney, Nova Scotia. Mr. Taylor, M.P., stated in the Commons that he was informed thai shortly before Bill Miner escaped from the penitentiary, a post- office order for $100 had been received at the penitentiary payable to him. It came from J. C. Budd at Princeton, B.C. A letter Irom the Ingenika placer camp, dated Feh. II, savs : "There has been nothing good found here yet. Only two have taken out enough to pay their year's supplies, one about 30 oa. and the other about 70 00. Several other claims took a few ounces, hut nothing to indicate anything rich or permanent." Development is proceeding apace in northern Cariboo, and this vear the first steamer will operate through the Fort George canyon of the Fraser river and in the river beyond, giving a service that vvill be greatly appreciated by the present settlers in that district and by the large number seeking homes there. The steamer is now being constructed at Quesnel. MRS. T. M. FARRELL, Dressmaking and Selling. Satisfaction Guaranteed. KSSSMSOS CISIK1-. Notice.

There has been no noticeable excitement in this vicinity over the find, and no one has started placer mining as s result. Considering the richness of the resources of this country it hardly pays to resort to lying in bringing it to the attention of the outside public.— Oroville Gazette. Senator T. O. Davis, Prince Albert, proposes to introduce a bill in the Senate, the principles of which, if adopted would revolutionize the system under which railway charters are granted in Canada. His idea is to do away with the railway committees of the Senate and Commons and place railways on the same footing as industrial companies which are incorporated by letters patent. Any company wishing to get a charter would under the provisions of the proposed legislation have to submit details of its plans to the board of railway commissioners accompanied by a money deposit to cover the cost of the purchase of the right of way. Should the company fail to proceed with construction in the time specified by the railway commission five per cent, of the deposit would revert to the Dominion treasury. A further provision is that all money raised on stocks and bonds must be put into construction of the railway. J. J.

A party of immigrants from the States arrived in Keremeos last week by prairie schooner, on their way to the Buckley valley. Here the collector of customs was obliged to stop them because their horses had not been examined and passed hy a veterinary inspector. The nearest inspector is at Hridesville, and the alternative was before them iif traveling thither, or of sending for and wailing for the inspector— either course a matter of considerable delay and expense—or of returning to their native land.

Income tax and succession duties are increased in order to meet the cost of old-age pensions - directly taxing the rich to pay the poor. We dt. things differently in Canada, where by protective duties we tax the poor to pay the rich. Of course Lloyd-George's budget contains some more oppression for Ireland - no British measure would be complete without that.

After considering the situation they wheeled on the trail and turned southward again without stating what their intentions were. A similar case occurred last summer, when a caravan of immigrants from Idaho, who were also headed tor the Buckley valley, were stalled here for several days waiting foi the veterinary inspector. It cost; them almost the pi ice of a horse to1 keep camp during their detention, to say nothing of the loss of time when there was urgent need of reaching their claims iii time to put up fodder for the winter. Such mishaps as these are liable to occur at any time—in fact are sure to occur with increasing frequency so long as the facilities (or lack of facilities) for veterinary inspection remain as at present.

[From thi' IIliIUv C.i/i'tu.] This poor weathercock solemnly asserts in the midst of last week's dose of drivel that "The Press has no desire to force local option upon any community." . . Utterly incapable of reasoning he will ask the silliest questions and from no apparent data arrive at the most asinine conclusions. . . It is one thing to ignore the bark of a dog and quite another thing when said canine attempts to fasten its teeth in your calf. Then the orthodox treatment is to turn around and kick the animal and keep on applying the leather while the cur continues to snarl or show his teeth. "Whom the gods would destroy thev first make mad" and the Penticton canine in cool April appears to have developed an attack of midsummer rabies that has been his undoing.
