Go to the Hedley Pool Room and Barber Shop For an Easy Shave and a Stylish Hair - Cut or a Game of On Inquiry from the Gazette Mr. and Mrs. Forbes relate that it was on Saturday the 14th that they arrived in San Francisco and took rooms on Mission Staeet opposite the new Post Office, intending to remain^in the city until Friday 20th. when'.- they would B. G. proceed, by boat to .'Victoria. They spent three days sight-seeing'\" about the city before the trouble came and during this time had an opportunity of seeing San Francisco in all its old-time beauty and pride���������the pride which this time went before the fall. Fortunately the quarters they had chosen was situated in a frame block. Early in the morning of Wednesday 18th, although clear daylight, they were roused from sleep with the first tremors of the earthquake, which Mr. Forbes had no chffieulty in recognizing for this was not altogether a new experience to him,as he had during a former residence in San Francisco experienced seismic shocks. He at once got out of bed and expecting that the shock would increase in violence cautioned Mrs Forbes to remain in bed as the safer place until they both noticed a large plate glass mirror swaying violently on the wall above them, making it necessary to get out of its reach as speedily its possible. Chairs .also were rocking on the floor, glassware falling from the mantel-piece and a heavy marble, wash-stand top that was fastened into the wall torn loose. As soon as the shock had spent its greatest foice they heard a commotion in the. street where people had- rushed in their night clothes, but Mr. and Mrs Forbes concluded that it was bettor to take time to dress and pack up which they did before going on the street, which thev found full of people, many in their night clothes and afraid to re-enter the' buildings. Had the shock occurred two hours later when the streets would have been thronged the number of killed would have been terrible. The asphalt pavement in the street opposite was torn in great rents as if it had been ploughed: the street car rails were bent and twisted, and the block in which they had been was divided a couple of doors from the one in which their room was situated. A walk along Market street showed the, terrible damage which had been done, the street in many places strewn with debiisfroin front walls that had fallen out disclosing the furniture and other trappings of the interiors. The veneered walls suffered worst of all. Their attention was drawn to a fhe breaking out near their quarters which made them hurry .back, and soon others were seen. Taking their baggage, they became wanderers in the streets with thousands of others, being driven back by the. fire block hy block. That morning they were able in one restaurant to get a cilp of chocolate and in the afternoon in a small grocery shop they bought some crackers and deviled ham, which was all they had to live on for the remaining part of two days and a night, for it was Thursday night before they gained shelter. Wednesday night they spent in the street on Van Ness Avenue, getting a nap on the sidewalk during the night. Fortunately they had purchased tickets via C. P. R. to Victoria on Tuesday. They could have got shelter in Oakland but were, afraid to go as they wouldn't be allowed to return again to the city, for the object of the authorities was to get 'everybody out of the city. Several times Mrs. Forbes was left to watch, the luggage while Mr. Forbes tried to make his way to the docks, and as a result of sundry reconnaisanqes he managed to get Airs. Forbes and the baggage, oil Thursday evening, to the dock where the Senator was lying, upom.which their passage had been taken. They were not allowed on board the Senator, which was in charge of the captain alone, having neither crew, coal nor water. The Santa Rosa, of the same line, had come, lu from Southern California, from which none of the passengers were allowed to land, and it was only by displaying the tickets and acquainting them with the fact that there was a woman who was ready to drop -from exhaustion, that they were permitted on board. There they stayed until they were transferred to the Senator on Saturday night; but all the Avhile they were in danger from tlie burning shingles falling over the liarbor, and only the closest >, vigilance kept the boat from burning. 'The Senator sailed early on Sunday morning and they breathed easy when they were out in the bay^ieyond reach of flying cinders. They are quite positive that the fatalities are very much underestimated when placed at 300J as accurate data will account for several times that number. STILL CAUSING DELAY The Minister of Railways and Canals Allows C. P. R. to Hold Back Railway Work at Hedley. A PUBLIC MEETING PROTESTS Minister's Decision Forbids Work Between Hedley and Sixteen Mile���������' Also Allows C. P. R. Time to Examine Before Approving V. V. & E. Plans on North Side of River. PROGRESS ON V. V. & E. Scarcity of Men Still Hampering Work��������� Tracklaying is Delayed a Few. Weeks in Consequence. As May 1st was the date set.to begin track-laying westward from Midway, the following report of progress and forecast of probable future operations from the Midway Star is apropos. The Star says : \"Work on the grade, between here and Molson is progressing as rapidly as the limited amount of labor available will permit. There still remains about 250 feet of tunnel work to finish, besides one or two rather heaw rock cuts to complete. A piledriver arrived in the yard the beginning of the week, as also a number of heavy bridge castings, all of which have been unloaded. Several iron dump cars were sent out west Monday, which we understand were to be used in clearing the large amount of rock which the blasting operations have scattered over a large area of agricultural land adjacent to the grade. It is not considered likely by those best qualified to judge that the grading operations will permit the laying of steel much before the first or second week in June, although sufficient steel might be laid earlier to enable the piledriver to reach the location of the first long trestle, near the tunnel.\"' Rev. R. It. Bartlett will go to Princeton on Saturday's stage for service on Sunday. Mr. Slatter of the V. V. it R. Nn- gineering slalf at Keremeos was in town over Sunday. A new diamond drill for the Yale Mining C<>. has been purchased by the manager and is now at Penticton. The drill is capable of drilling and hoisting to a depth of 800 feet. This drill will be. kept steadily at work prospecting the various claims of the Company and is expected to accomplish about 500 feet per month. Rev. Ernest R. Bartlett. M. A., the new lector of Hedley parish of the Anglican church, came in on Saturday's stage, accompanied by his wife and two children. On Sunday he held service in Fraternity Hall, which was attended by a large number. The reverend gentleman comes from Ferine and on the way over had a rather uncomfortable experience some where- near Slon.ui Junction, in getting mixed up in a railway wreck; the coach in which they were riding came to grief but they escaped without injury. In addition to the work of the Hedley parish, Mr. Bartlett will supply Princeton on alternate Sundays. ��������� At the. adjourned hearing before the Minister of Railways and Canals, held in Ottawa on 27th nit., the decision given by the Minister was'disappointing to say the least, and was not calculated to inspire much enthusiasm on the part of residents of Hedley for a departmental head who had as little regard for the progress of any particular section of the country as to permit operations to be. delayed upon no better: ground than the pretences made by Drihkwater and Gutelius, who appeared oh behalf of the C P. R. The decision was to the effect that before giving full approval to the plans of the V. V. & R. to build on the north side of the Similkameen river, the C. P. R. should have an opportunity to satisfy themselves that they were not going to be crowded out of room for station grounds at Hedley, and that in the meanwhile the V.

There is evidence also j that in tlie new recently ap- i pointed head of the Geological i Survey, Mr. A. P. Low, that important department will not isuH'er, for he is known to be 'thoroughly in sympathy with ] the mineral industry of this province and.ready to do all he can for its advancement. In view of this fact it is the duty of all the . representatives from' tin's province and the British Columbia press to keep hammering\" incessantly for a largely increased appropriation for the Geological Survey. It is a plea that can be put forth on business grounds,and defended as a gilt- edge investment to the country, for it will bring immediate returns far-a.bove the cost. ���������- Just at present there is much clamor for a Dominion Department of Mines, although the agitation appears to emanate more from hungry politicians in quest of a. new graft than; from mining men. Any proposition for such which may be ottered as a substitute for the Geological Survey or calculated to lessen the interest in or support of the Survey should be scanned narrowly, that no danger may be incurred of throwing away the substance for the shadow. Better treble the appropriation to the Geological Survey and keep political \"pull\" out of it as much as possible. NOTICE. Certificate of improvements.

It appeal's that the name was wrongly given, and the gentleman wlio is to work during the summer in this field is Mr. C. Camsell who is considered one of the best among the younger men of that department of tlie public service, and who will no doubt do good work although the task seems a colossal one for one man to attempt alone. It only, however, goes to show how ridiculously inadequate are the appropriations each year 'for so important a department, and it is also learned that for the present season tlie amount is even cut down one fourth owing to the change in making the fiscal year end on the last day of March instead of on the last day of June as formerly. Mr. Camsell will start at the International Boundary and follow down the south fork of the Similkameen River to Princeton, making a geological and topographical examination and survey for sufficient distance on each side to take in most of the mining camps with a view to preparing a preliminary report and sketch map of the district covered and in succeeding years larger parties will take it more in detail for the purpose of' preparing a complete geological map with detailed report.

John K. Fi-aser and Miss Mary Eunice McKinnon. Mr. and Mrs. Fraser are receiving the congratulations of their many friends in Hedley. Mr. Erne-st Waterman, of Princeton, was in town on Sunday on his way to Fernie. I.t is understood that the. Vermillion Forks Mining Co., who own the coal properties upon which all the development work has been done, are .going to resume operations this year on a larger scale, and to this end are about to have an examination made by Mr. McEvoy, the geologist of the Crow's Nest Coal Co, who will be asked to plan out for them a course of development which will fib in with some method of future operations. This is ���������certainly the right Avay to go about it, feu- the cost of getting expert aelvice in the initial stage of operations is money well spent, and Mr. McEvoy has fully ���������demonstrated his capabilities.

To make good bread you must have good flour. If you want the best bread you must use the best flour. The annual meeting of the Southern Okanagan Land Co. was held at Penticton on Tuesday. An attempt was made to rob the Oroville bank last week. Midway also has been infested of late with undesirable characters anel a few attempted hold-ups by foot-pads have occurred. These are concomitants of the railroad: but if Hedley could only get railway work moving here we would be satisfied to take it with these gentry thrown in and risk the chance of keeping tlii-m in check. BOOT & SHOE MAKER HEDLEY, B. C Midway has been jogged a little out of her usual routine of late. As Victoria Day approached, her citizens began to think of her reputation as host to many hundreds of visitors on that day for several years past, and tlie desire was general that she eclipse all past efforts in 1000. Some weeks since an energetic committee set to work to get up a banner celebration for the coming 21th of May. In raising funds no difficulty has been experienced, The citizens have been generous and the increased population makes it easier to do bigger things than ever before. Liberal prizes have been provided for every line of sport anil the large purses Avill bring lively contests in horse races, baseball, hose races, bicycle, cowboy, prospector and other events Word comes from Greenwood, Phie- nix. Grand Forks, Curlew, Ferry, Eholt and other points that many arc coming to look on anel they are bringing men and horses to take part and incidentally carry olf prizes. Midway has hitherto been amply able to take care of Victoria Day crowds, and her greatly increased hotel accommodation gives assurance that there will be abundance for visitors. Special trains will be run by the C. P. 11. and the Great Northern ; the Greenwood city band of 20 pieces will be in attendance anel Midway looks her best in May. ousehold IS THE FINEST FLOUR MADE.
