James Jamieson, Ticket-of-leave Man, Couldn't Stand Freedom. Vernon, B. C. In ji former issue a little series of notes by the way, left us at Brideville, on the doAvn grade for Kettle River valley, and the green waving hillsides- all about, covered witli a healthy crop of grain of \\-nrious kinds is apt to produce a very favorable impression upon Avay-farers, if passengers seated in Great Northernjpoaches can be termed such. Tho most stiiking feature after tho train-pulls out of Brideville station is the engineering problem that had confronted the surveyors, and in the solution of that problem they "didn't do a thing" to Davy McBride's ranch Avhich is carved up Avith huge scallops, there being at one point no less than three parallel tracks for possibly the battel* part of a mile���each being at a different elevation from the others. A few miles f urthe.r on the track" is on Frank Edwards' benches and from t-hcui a magnificent A*ie\\v is obtained. Over to the. northwest Baldy mountain looms up beyond Camp McKinney, and tlie morning being beautifully cleats the whole green basin filled with sundry ranches, looking over towards Fred Schorn's, is spread out to ATiew, while off to the northward the farther view of Rock Creek basin conies into vieAV. From Edwards' bench the track leads round to the south bank of the main Rock Creek, over the Anaconda and other mineral claims, Avhile northward across the creek the Hatton settlement of prosperous ranches can he seen, although occasionally screened >as the train skirts through chimps of timber. Along this south bank of Rock Creek Avas much heavy rock cutting, and before the truck turns southward into Myers Creek valley it passes through a small tunnel. The Myers Creek valley runs north and south and crosses the international boundary, but the main line of the railway does not cross the line here. It runs along either side of the \\'alley in the shape of a, long condensed letter U or ox-bow, the curved Uase of which comes within 20 feet of the boundary line, where it crosses the valley on a high trestles The station "by which Myers Creek valley is served is Myneaster, called no doubt after McMynn brothers, avIio Avere pioneers of the valley and owned the principal ranch in it. From Myn- caster a spur has been constructed across the boundary in the direction of ChesaAv, but as yet no steel has been laid on it. Myers Creek Avas at one time an excellent trout stream and from all appearance it .should still be: so. The creek narrows into a canyon at two points between the McMynn property and its mouth on the Kettle river, and between these points lies a beautiful stretch of meadow, land formerly known as Nicholson's meadow, but now OAvned by F. Richter. A tunnel 900 feet in length is passed before, the. trade emerges out on the Kettle river, Avithin sight ot Midway. It Avould be difficult to find a place as much spoken of as Michvay in relation to raihvay matters, with as little raihvay activity. Nevertheless it is today in possession of two rival raihvay systems, and therefore a competing point, butAvhile there you Avould never think so unless someone whispered it in vour ear. The Great Intoxicated with his liberty and Avith over-indulgence in fire-water, Jimmy Jameson, half-breed, on Monday last dropped into his old habits arid proceeded to make himself a nuisance as .before. It Avill be remembered that in the summer of 1005 he got into a beastly fracas Avith an Indian named Francois on Keremeos Creek, and Avas committed for trial at the assizes, where he was given four years in the* penitentiary. Last fall there Avas some talk of ge:'tting up a petition to get him.out, and A\\*hile it Avas' thought that the parties, (some uf them irresponsible) who proposed it had dropped the matter when they were given to undersaand that the public did not approve of lessening the penalty, it iioav appears that"they didn't but that a petition was evidently circulated on 'the quiet, and as a result ho was liberated cm ticket-of-leave on June 4th. Last Monday he was in town and after filling up started his old trick of abusing people; trying to pick eiuar- rels and shouting.vile language on tho stieet. vfhe constable Avas not on hand at the time, but on his return heard of it, and, assisted by N. B. EwarL proceeded to look for him when they found hiin drunk on the* Indian reservation. In resisting arrest he acted .very badly, biting Mr. EAvart's arm, and had to be handled pretty roughly before they got him in.the cells. Charges were laid against him next day by Constable Sproule, -and on Tuesday evening he came up before A. Megraw, J. P., Avhe> committed him to gaol for six months on the charge of "drunk and disorderly" alone, the other charges being held in abeyance. Jamieson appears all along to have been one of those, turbulent spirits Avhose bent-for lawlessness is such that to alloAV him to run at large is to invite the commission of more serious crimes, fen- as one old-timer up the valley has said, "if he Avas not kept locked up he Avould either kill some one, or some decent man would get into trouble by being forced to kill him." BRIDGE BADLY NEEDED. Settlers on Sterling Creek, as Well as Pollock Mines, Handicapped. WHERE DID IT START? (Greenwood Ledge.) By reading the account of the recent fire in Grand Forks in five iicavs- papers Ave have-discovered that the fire started in the Yale hotel, in the Union hotel, in the Square hotel, back of the Clarendon restaurant, and adjacent-to the Clarendon. Until Ave go over to Grand Forks Ave Avill not believe that there avus a fire in that city. If so, then the ruling passion is strong in death, for it is not reasonable to suppose that the fire broke out in five places at once. If there really was a fire in Grand Forks the losers have our deepest sympathy, for it always tears our heart to learn that the fire fiend has decended upon even a wicked burg and Avith its lurid breath blown away in a fe.AA' hot and hurried moments the accumulations of years. Grand Forks has had many trials and tribulations during its brief life, but its citizens must not lose heart. They still have the smelter, Martin Burrell, and one of the finest fruit ranching sections in this glorious Dominion. Here Ave sire Hearing the end of July and there is not yet safe fording of the river at any point near the Pollock mines. With the' single exception of the. bridge at Keremeos, not yet built beit to be completed this summer, there is not a bridge-over tho ' Similkameen river in British Columbia, between Princeton and the international-boundary, a distance of over GO miles of river. This is not fair to the settlers on Sterling Creek, nor to the claim owners on that silks of the river, for it means that for a large part of the, best-time in the year' no '.communication except by row-be*nt is possible. The owners of the Pollock group haA'e expended a considerable amount in development of their property which work has been handicapped by lack of proper* communication. , " Several bridge sites can be procured in that vicinity where the river lends itself to economical construction to such em extent that a bridge could be built at very much less cost than that entailed in any oi* the.three bridges at Princeton or the one. to be constructed at Keremeos. With the Pollock mines equipped for production, the government avooUI very soon be re-iiubursed for. the cost entailed in**building a bridge, and Avith this encouragement given them more of the land available, for occupation up Sterling creek and in the mountains thereabout, would be taken up by settlers. Noav is the time to get'this improvement laid before the government through the representative of the district Avho thoroughly understands the situation and we are sure would be pleased to take the matter in hand. While he probably couldn't manage to have it done this year .there is a possibility that he might have it undertaken in time to be completed before high water in 1909. Meanwhile it Avould be well Lo have the ground looked over and the most faA'oreible spot picked out and an esti- made of the cost. Nothing is gained by sitting still when important im- provements are needed. VETERANS' LAND GRANTS. Dominion Government Follows Example of Provinces, With Some Distinctive Features of Difference. Col. Sam Hughes chose an opportune time for advocating recognition on the part of the Dominion Government to the Smith African Avar veterans, at a time when .the government Avere distributing much, largesse to help out the forthcoming Dominion elections. The proposal is to grant tAvo quarter sections of land to each. Mr. Oliver's plan was to grant it to- all'volunteers who.reside or were'domiciled in.Canada at the, time of,their enlistment for military service in youth Africa ; that hi eveiitoi,a\\7ohin- teer's death betAveen the date of his enlistment and-Dec. Bint, 1910, the proposed grant of land may lie made to his legal representative, and that any person entitled to choose scrip in lieu of laud may give notice before Dec. 31st, 1910. . The grantee or his Mibstitutc is to fulfil homestead 'duties and make his entry before Dec. 31st, 1010, and begin residence on the. land six months after that date. Much wrangling and cheese-paring was indulged in as to Avhether this would apply to those who eulisted in Canada Avith Canadian contingents only, or extend to those who enlisted in South Africa. It is well kn'OAvn that'political favoritism Avas rife at the time of enlistment of the Canadian contingents and that officers of pronounced Conser\\"ative leanings had little or no shenv of getting an opportunity to go either in their e>Avn rank or several grades lower, Avhile relatives of ministers Avere boosted to positions in the fence even above the rank they held in Canada; and many Avere forced to go either to Eng- GOLDEN ZONE A WINNER. Everybo'dy Is Satisfied With Showing in the Mill. M. & V. SUBSIDY RENEWED. Subsidy Also Given To Build Nicola to Penticton. From Northern '-.as the advantage of having its station (down near the* centre of the toAvn while the C. P. 11. station is somewhere up the river among the prospective fruit ranches, it is true one prong of the G. N. R. "wye" points up Boundary Creek, and it is also up that way the Greemvood branch is supposed to go sometime. Midway is the haven of blighted hopes and neglected opportunities, but there is noticeable at present an hnproA'od feeling. This Among other things provided in the big bunch of supplementary estimates before prorogation, the charter of the M. ��fc V. was extended from Midway to Carnii, and a grant was also made for subsidv betAveen Nicola and Penticton. This is the most direct evidence yet that the* C. P. R. are taking over the M. and V. The. C. P. R. .also hold the charter for the line surveyed by Hislop between Penticton and Princeton Avhich goes up Keremeos Creek, and they Avould in all probability use it in connecting up Nicola and Penticton. J. J. Marks came down from the Golden Zone on Sunday and reports the first mill run an unqualified success. S. E. Hamilton, who. has. full charge of the mill, spent several clays getting things in shape before starting up. He called first for a loAver grade of ore on which to make the start and get the plates in order and the Wilfley table adjusted for steady Avork. The stamps are 1050 lbs. and the surface rock, being of a-*friable nature, shoAved that the duty per stamp Avas going to be abnormally high. Low grade and all as the ore Avas thought to be that Avas first run through, the pulp did not sluice over the aprons a clay until the amalgam became very much in evidence several hours ahead of schedule time. J. J. said that mill superintendent Hamilton expressed his surprise and gratification at this early manifestation of values from second grade rock, and also at the high duty per stamp Avhich already is seen to be over four tons per stamp. This high duty per stamp, hoAvever, developed an unforeseen difficulty in exceeding the immediate Avater supply, but this can be remedied in a feAV days by means of a short V flume, and all hands are nenv at work putting it in. Fortunately the new Twenty-mile Avagon road is sufficiently far advanced to enable hauling the lumber ewer it to the Golden Zone mill from Hedley, and on Monday a couple of loads of lumber Avent up. land or South Africa at their envn expense anel enlist there. One of the most creditable features Avas the move'to make the grant apply to nurses who served Avith the Canadians. An excerpt from the debate on the question says: Col. Sam Hughes thought Canadians Avho enlisted in. Britain or South Africa should also be included, Avhile Messrs. Bickerdike and Schell (Oxford) spoke for the Fenian Raid veterans. The resolution carried anel the bill avhs taken up. Again Col. Hughes pressed,for recognition of men aa-Iio went to" South Africa to enlist, "including, if you like," he said, "Col. Sam Hughes." Mr. Oliver intended that, but thought it would be impossible to draft-a clause, covering all cases. Mr. Borden suggested at clause, but E. M. MacDonald objected. This country should recognize only those men Avho enlisted in Canadian corps. Col. Hughes instanced the case of Col. Hamilton Merritt, of Toronto,. Avho served Avith General Brabant's. Horse, "and I," said the colonel,, "couldn't go to South Africa because of the tyranny of an English officer- who happened to be a servant of the Canadian Government." The clause, was allenved to stand. Dr. Barr proposed that war cox-respondents be included, and Mr. Martin (P. E. I.) suggested .nurses asicl chaplains. The minister said the suggestions Avould be considered.

Duncan Ross has apparently accomplished the postponement of the election in Yale-Cariboo a .month beyond the date set for the general election. In this he has acted neither bravely nor wisely. Four years ago he had alongside'him the;riding of Ivootenay to share the shame, but Ivootenay has this time a better general in Smith Curtis who is too resolute and wily a fighter to bear with him into the campaign any stigma of faint-heartedness. The validity of all legitimate excuse for the deferment was removed when in 1896 J. A Mara who then represented the riding with Ivootenay thrown in, and not one half the facility for public travel that now exists, considered that there was no longer any just reason for postponement and had the election brought on upon the same date as the oth ers. But apart from ��������� all con- siderations of justice or chivalrous treatment of an opponent, the decision made by Mr. Ross appeal's to us a stupid blunder on his part, even from, the lower stand-point of expediency, and before the ballots are all counted in the year of grace 1908, it will be found to have wrought hint more harm than good, for the public after all cannot but despise, the man .who -will persist in the face pf public disapproval in socking unfair advantage over an opponont. Four years ago when Mi-. Ross was| first elected the public were | not given time to think about the ethics of the question but alloAved the sordid argument of prospective material gain , to dominate them, and as soon as the result of: the general election Avas made known a considerable percentage of Mr. Burrell's support lost interest in the contest and contented thcni- telves with merely going to the polls and recording their votes ���������many not even doing that. Mr. Barrel], however, conducted the fight pluckily to the end and when the vote was counted he was found to be so near his opponent that those of his friends who had practically thrown up their hands a month the-effect'that.there is a prospect of the embargo which lias for years rested on .Canadian ! cattle, preventing their shipment to Great Britain, is likely to be raised. This unreasonable prejudice hi the minds of British stock raisers, .which caused the embargo to be .placed on our cattle, has for years meant serious loss to stock-raisers in Canada. The'Canadian'Live'Stock Association have < at different times endeavored to find out what requirements would satisfy them, and expressed willingness to furnish any assurance that was possible to be furnished of the sound bill of health that could be presented f or Canadian (rattle, but all to no purpose until it became apparent that the objection was commercial in character, and the real question of disease or no disease cut very little figure in the matter. If the Premier's present hopes of the likelihood of the embargo being raised are based on good grounds, it will be welcome news to Canadian stock-raisers. Some profess to see in the immense territory of Ungava which has been added to the province of Quebec, a serious menace to the constitutional rights of other provinces, and especially the smaller maritime provinces whose representation in the federal house is now very small. By the terms of, confederation the representation of Quebec was fixed at 05 and the representation of the other provinces were made to vary according as their population kept pace with that- of Quebec. With the immense territory of Ungava doubling the present area of the province' of Quebec, the effect which this may have by way of increase in Quebec's population is certainly calculated to furnish ground for serious misgivings as to the outcome. If Sir Wilfrid has any sinister intentions of causing a state of affairs which will result in ultimate domination of Canada by the French Canadian element, this plan of increasing the territory would be ,'iu insidious method of-bringing it about. The favorable reports of a record crop in the prairie provinces comes most opportune to help checkmate the hard times. It is also likely to prove a determining factor in bringing on the Dominion elections thi* fall. Wm. Whyte, of the C. P. 11. places the estimate of this season's crop at 125,000,000 bushels. The Vernon News did good work in keeping constantly before the public the indisputable fact that in 189G there was no postponement of the election in Yale-Cariboo, which then contained Kootcnay as well and the means WEST KOOTENAY DISTRICT AND S1MIL- KAMISEX DIVISION OF VALE DISTRICT. .������������������_���������"-'.

Stevenson arrived in town on Sunday and on Monday proceeded with hisOutfit to the group of claims which he owns lying northeast of Riordan mountain and on the line of the new wagon road. ��������� A question frequently aski?d the Gazette is : "Did you ever see railroad, building as slow as this- is?" Yes, slower. This time last year they weren't doing any grading, and now they have something-over-'150-men working. Mv. R. V. Clement, barrister, of Toronto, was in town last week. He is prospecting ,the Similkameen with a view to finding a. suitable spot in which to set up practice. Mr. Clement is a-brother of Mr. Justice Clement of Victoria. < Mr. S. L. Smith, accountant for the Daly Reduction Co., started last week for Calgary on a short holiday.' Close application to office work has told considerably on his strength, and a period of relaxation, however brief, will do him a heap of good. Mrs. J. J. Marks and son accompanied Mr. Marks to Hedley on Sunday. This is the first time Mrs. Marks has been out from the Golden Zone since since they went .there last August. Heretofore the means of communication made it difficult to get in and out, but now that the wagon road has advanced so far it makes a trip to Hedley quite an easy matter. Walker's Weekly and Lowe.ry's Ledge are waging a crusade against vaccination. Whether Doc .Tenner and the- whole horde of subsequent medicos have given us a wrong steer (metaphoric) in the mutter of bovine lymph, or Lowery and Walker ar6 taking Fra Albertus too seriously is a matter that only time will tell. But as it was away back in 179(> when vaccination was accepted by the medical profession it is tei be hoped that when time makes up its mind to begin to toll that it won't start to stutter. This summer is proving to be au exceptional one in the matter of weather and is establishing records for itself. The earlier part of it was by all odds the coldest since meteorological records were first kept- in Hedley, and so far as heat is concerned, although the average maximum for any whole week has nob exceeded that of last summer, it has already shown days where, the. lowest minimum was higher b*/ many degrees than the lowest minimum on any clay last summer. For instance, on July 11th the lowest minimum was 70 and there was no day last year when the lowest minimum went above 50. In the hottest of hot spells we* could always boast cool nights to the. extent that one required blankets to sleep comfortably, but on that night of the 11th, the blanket was found to be quite superfluous. Fishing in Similkaineen is better now than it has been for years. .-���������'- W.^.T. Maneryof the Lower Similkameen was in town on Monday. He reports ripe, fruit in his orchard, and says that his peaches have .linen pronounced by an expert to be tho finest to be; found, anywhere between Vernon and the International Boundary. All three smelters are again in operation in the Boundary arid still it is said by parties from , Green wood that the times there are still hard. The Ledge says that open air lectures'-.';oh Socialism sire being delivered j 'and that less than 37 percent of the local business coucerns hi Greenwood advertise. Either one of '''tliese-- circumstances would fully account for it; . The report* that all;; work is shut down on the Palmer Mountain "���������project is confirmed by"the Palmer Mountain Prospector 'which'-admits the fact tliat things are bluer so far as the prosecution of work is concerned, than at any previous time.' Nevertheless,' the Prospector -which has always had abiding faith in the camp, and ever sounded; a cheerful note when others were despairing, again speaks hopefully of -early probablev resumption of Avorki .. The Trumpet says that in. a few clays Royer will have automohilesVon his stage-route. This is a scheme he has been considering ewer since Phoenix was the end of G. N. Ii. transportation westward and by this time he has no doubt thought the matter out in detiiil sufficiently well to form some ide>a of how it will work. The. nervous prostration that the Phoenjx Pioneer then expected to seize upon the,equine species in the. Boundary because of the horseless carriage has not yet become epidemic, but aecord- -ing to the Trumpet, symptoms of it may be expected now any day.

Mai'dnnnld, of Olalla, and his associates have si group of churns that are showing up well, and have shipping ore that will stand haulage to the railway. This new road will enable, shipments te? he much.*. This is the way to open up a country, and when prospectors have the backbone: to delve in and see what .they havegot, anel the government will stand- by them in building roads to help them out, it will only.he" a short time until capital will be. forced to give the district the recognition. that has so long been denied it. What is wanted, too, is to leave Mr. Cauise'll's party of the; geological survey . in. possession of the field long enough to enable him to extend bis sheet map ���������far enough- eastward to include the ground served by the new road. The: limp he is now preparing of Camp -Hedley stops about 4 or 5 miles short of taking in some of the .best of the properties on Eiordan and Tndepen- .dene'e Mountains. Mr. Brock, the acting director of the .Survey, is expected in here in a few weeks and no doubt Mr. Oanisell will take him over the tjToimd and show him what is needed.- THE.
