HOTEL PENTICTON Headquarters for Tourist Travel. Rates Modorate. A. Baknks, Prop. Penticton, B.C. Editor Burrell of the Grand Forks Gazette, who enjoys a good story, even when at tlie expense of a. fellow- countrynian.'has the following: \"Agri- culturiilists in this level section should be thankful that they are carrying on their work under safe conditions. A good story is going the rounds that in a (.certain mountainous district a fisherman was suddenly disturbed by the falling of a boulder from the overhead hills. A second rock splashing into the water made him look around restlessly. Once more a noise, and down conies an Englishman kerflunk, remarking as he gathered himself together \" Ba Jove, that's the third time I have fallen off my bally rawnch to day, don't you know.\" A couple of weeks ago a -rumor was current in Midway that affairs of the Midway & Vernon rail way were taking on a new interest and that the resumption of building operations was actually imminent. A little more credence was attached to the matter when a Coast paper that generally gets inside information concerning O. P. R. movements a little,in advance of its coast rivals, had thefol- loiving concerning it: \"The latest rumor in the railway world is that the C. P. R. will shortly extend its road from Midway to Okanagan Lake, through the West Fork and Carmi. The presumption is that it would then be continued to Aspen Grove and Nicola, thus providing a short cut to the Coast. This perhaps explains the reason for the C. P. R. building two large ca r barges, each capable of accommodating 18 loaded cars, on Okanagan Lake this year.\" This rumor, it will be observed, also indicates Midway as the point at which operations would begin ; and further Midway rumors aver that the C. P. R. has actually acquired the M. & V. charter and would use the portion of the M. & V. grade built between Midway and Rock Creek in 1905, or almost built, for it was not quite completed. If this be so, farewell to the dream of a railway crossing the summit between the head waters of the West Fork of Kettle River, and Mission creek for many a long day; for it.is mortally certain that the C.P.R. would see neither fun nor business in the construction of a railway paralleling Okanagan Lake on which it now has a fleet of three steamers and several freight liarges for the handling of traffic. This situation of affairs makes it apropos at this juncture to recall in brief review some of the salient points in the checkered career of the Midway and Vernon. The scheme came into existence in 1900 when Robt. Wood, who had acquired mining, townsite and ranching interests on the West Fork, in the vicinity of what is now Beaverdell, obtained the necessary legislation. But the charter which was granted to him and some equally impecunious associates was faulty hy reason of the Act which granted it. That Act said that the Legislature of B. C. and the Lieutenant-Governor in Council may grant aid by way of bonus to a railway running from Midway to Vernon, and the holders of the charter, who were counting upon selling it to the C. P. R. or some other wealthy corporation or financiers, soon found out that they had for market a little cargo of the apples of Sodom, for various reasons. That little word \" may\" put the bonus assistance a long distance off, but when the C. P. R. stepped in and said \" We will build that road and claim the bonus,\" which by the wording of the Act was left open for anyone who would build, financiers looked askance at the scheme. To show that this was no idle threat on the part of the C. P. R. who were then surveying a route for extension of their system from Midway westward into the Okanagan and Similkameen, they sent up a party under Odell who located a route up the West Fork to the mouth of Wilkinson creek, and swinging westward to the head waters of that creek, crossing the summit at an altitude 500 feet lower than the route chosen by Sullivan over Anarchist Mountain, started in by a system of looping to make the descent into the Okanagan Valley, coming out at the mouth of McLean creek. With this ponderous club, the C.P.R. The Hedley Rifle Association met on Monday evening to consider the offer of the Labor Day Sports Committee of an appropriation of $25 towards having' a rifle shooting tournament in connection with the< Labor Day celebration, and to consider other business. .'Miv'.-LV G. MacHaffie tendered his resignation as treasurer and urged its acceptance, giving as reason that no necessity existed for having the offices of secretary and treasurer separate. The resignation was accepted and Geo. Sproule appointed secretary-treasurer. ;.' A verbal report was made on behalf of committee to consider affiliation with D. R. A., expressing doubt as to ability to meet requirements and recommending no action to be taken until such time as a greater interest in rifle shooting should exist. ' The offer of the Labor Day Sports Committee to donate $25.00 towards rifle-shooting contest to be conducted under the auspices of the Hedley Rifle Association, was considered pro and con. A vote was taken and resulted in favor of acceptance of the donation, the details for the match being left to the executive of the Association. At the close of the meeting, the executive met and decided that in the interests of rifle shooting and the club, the match be made open to all whether members or not, and that the distribution of prizes be made so as to encourage young shots to take part. To this end it was decided to divide the prize money into thirteen or more prizes and augment it by amount of entrance fees, after reasonable estimate for expenses were deducted. To do so, the individual prizes had to be \"made smaller. There will be four matches in all. These will be for the 200, 300 and 400 yard ranges and an aggregate match, with perhaps a consolation for those who fail to obtain a place. The prizes will be as follows : 200 yards���������1st $3, 2nd $2, 3rd $1; 300 yards���������1st $3, 2nd $2. 3rd $L; 400 yards���������1st $3, 2nd $2, 3rd $1; Aggregate���������1st $4, 2nd $3, 3rd $2, 4th $1. An entrance fee of $1 will be charged each competitor, which will suffice to cover all four matches. The event will be placed to begin at 8 o'clock sharp on the first morninng, and entries must be made not later than the evening before, to permit of squadding the men for shooting, and making arrangements for target accommodation. Members of the club who purpose competing are asked to make their entries before Saturday night, Aug. 31st, with the secretary- treasurer of the Hedley Rifle Association. A NICOLA COAL SHIPPER. Diamond Vale Coal Company to Ship Next Month Mr. T. J. Smith, President of the Diamond Vale Iron and Coal Mines, who is in the east, has completed a deal in connection with the operation of the Company which has large areas of coal lauds in the Interior. This company expects to be on the shipping list next month, somewhat earlier than was first thought. A second shaft is being sunk, and this is now within afoot of bedrock. Machinery sufficient for two shafts is now oh the ground, and everything is ready for complete development. . The houses, for the men etc., have been in place for some time, and when the coal deposit is tapped it can readily be handled. The spur from'the Nicola branch of the C. P. R. is partly built and is nearly up to the shaft head, . The market for coal is particularly good in British Columbia just now* and 'there is ample demand for all that another shipper or even a number of them can produce. It is expected that the C. P. R. will take, the product for some time to come, which will not tend to alleviate the scarcity which prevails even now on the Coast. RIFLE MATCH. stood off all financiers until the charter was about to expire, when Price Ellison in 1902 came to the rescue with a bill to renew the charter, and this time the Act was worded to say, \"the legislature of B. C. and the Lieutenant- Governor in Council shall grant aid by way of bonus, and it is hereby granted to the Midway & Vernon Railway Co. to build a railway from Midway to Vernon.\" This wording cut out the aloofness and the sweet hereafter character of the provincial obligation and it also cut out the C. P. R. or any other concern except the Midway ������fc Vernon from claiming the bonus. With this piece of legislation they induced, in the fall of 1902, capable financiers in New York who were not straw men to entertain the proposition of purchase of the charter and building of the road. These men demonstrated wkat they could do by roads which they built in eastern Canada, and Robt. Wood and his associates in the M. & V. Avill regret to their dying days, the vacillation by which they lost the opportunity to have the road built at that time. A subsequent deal by which a bluff at construction was made in the fall of 1905, is quite fresh in the memories of the public, especially those who have unpaid accounts ; and the correspondence made public of the .attempt at hawking the charter, on the part of the straw men who were making the bluff at building, will prepare the public to accept the completion of the road or any portion thereof, as a consummation devoutly to be wished, especially if it should make provision for the payment of those long over due accounts. The August shoot of the Hedley Rifle Assoaiation witnessed a heavy falling off in the attendance of competitors, and witnessed also a tumbling in the scores of some of the shooters who formerly stood* around the. head of the list. Whether the trouble ���������was in the wind, the light, the gun or the man is left an open question; but the falling off in attendance leaves no question that in rifle shooting as in almost everything else, Hedleyites can be counted on to sustain their reputation for speedy transitions from enthusiasm to mortification, for it is invariably a case of \"hip hurrah\" one day and candidacy for the boneyard on the next. One bright spot, however, was the honor conferred on the contestants by the presence of a little group of ladies who were interested spectators of the shooting, and whose presence was appreciated. ��������� The cup and medal again changed hands, passing from E. D. Boeing, whp won them in the July shoot,,to A. Megraw who succeeded in getting together sufficient points to win them this time. The medal on this occasion was on the 200 and 300 yard ranges. Below is the score: 200 21 17 20 20 A. Megraw E. D. Boeing L. C. W. Rolls Geo. Sproule 300 400 Total 17 23 ��������� 61 18 19 ��������� 54 17 17 ��������� 54 15 16 ��������� 51 AN EASIER WAY. The Chief Engineer of the V. V. Has Done his Share. & E. A short time ago the Gazette met Mr. J. H. Kennedy, Chief Engineer of the V. V. & E just after he had alight- off a work train at Keremeos. He enquired solicitously if we were going over Richter's pass, and expressed great satisfaction that it was no longer necessary for him to make that trip. \"In fact,\" he said, \"I don't care if I never see it again.\" It is certainly a long, hard pull, and since the Great Northern started in actively to make arrangements for building into the Siinilkanieen after the memorable session of the Legislature in April of that year, it has been his lot to drive over the pass a great many times at all seasons of the year and in all kinds of weather. No wonder satisfaction beamed in his face at the relief in being able to steam down the valley and reach Oroville in two or three hours, even with nothing more luxuriant in the way of equipment than that afforded by a work train. L. W. Shatford M. P. P. who has been at the coast for the past, few weeks, returned home on Saturday night, coming in from Fairview with John Love. Mr. Shatford is now very much improved in health as the result of his coast trip and the medical assistance procured.

They expect to shove it through\" as soon as possible and are putting on a good force of carpenters. Some moderate rains of the latter part.of last..week .-..must have been much heavier \"up'.about the head waters of Twenty Mile, for the volume of .water in the; flume was appreciably increased, to the great ssitisfaction of the management. Miss Hopkins of Port Angeles, Wash, who spent a portion of her holidays in Hedley, the guest of her friend Mrs. Caldwell, left on Monday for Bellingham, Wash., where she will visit friends before returning to Port Angeles to resume her duties as teacher at the end of the vacation. Fayette Harris an old time prospector and miner came up from Oroville last week. Mr. Harris and his partner, the late George Dore, made the first location up the West Fork of Kettle River, and he still owns property there, the Highland Chief at the old town of Beaverton, since merged with Beaverdell, being one of the likely properties in that camp. Boundary papers tell of Peck Mc- Swain's latest. He became deputy in charge of the Moyie Leader during the absence of editor Smith who had taken a trip back east, but this blending of prosperity and responsibility was too much for Peck, who aeserted his post, and when the editor (returned he had to advertise for information as to the Mrs. Jas.

Mr. Palory is one of the solid men of the Palonse country, and there is little doubt but that the Similkameen .will look good to him. On his trip to the coast Mr. Cain- sell's horse met with an accident by cutting an artery in one of its hind feet; when, about five miles out of Hope. He left it there and on getting back that far from Vancouver some ten days later he .found the wound had healed nicely and the pony was in good shape to bring him back. Mr. E. S.

Because Carl Hairsine was a doubting Thomas and thought Nicola was ragging him over the phone, the people of Hedley didnt't hear of the escape of Bill Miner frsm the penitentiary in Westminster, until Van Rose, a miner at the Nickel Plate who is said to have come in part of the; way by ox team, brought the news in on Monday, The government telephone will have to take old Bill a little more, seriously or it wont prove much of a factor in aiding in his recapture. Mr. Henry Nicholson, J. P. of Camp McKinney came in on Monday night. Mr. Nicholson is known to all old- timers of the district as among the early settlers, and to readers ot the Gazette he is known as the writer of the excellent historical sketches of early times in the valley and district which appeared in these columns. This was his first visit to Hedley, for in his day the spot was only known as the mouth of Twenty mile, near the old Indian Mission. Mr. Nicholson reports a marked revival in the fortunes of Camp McKinney, there being 30 men at work. Constable Sproule received word last week that the. Hedley water supply was being polluted by the road camp. He yisited the road camp and while he found kitchen kept neat and care exercised as to disposal of refuse, he ordered certain sanitary arrangements to be carried out, and took steps to prevent the pollution of the stream above the dam. It appears that the earlier arrangements were not all that could be desired, and it was said that clothes had been washed in the creek. This has been stopped anywhere, on the stream except below the dam. IN THE MATTER OF the Land Registry Act and in the matter of the title to Lot 10, Block 18, and Lot (J.
