2*1 A, B. C Vol. 1, No 31 MERRITT, B.C. SEPTEMBER 16, 1910 Price 5 Cents In Point of Exhibits and Attendance Exhibition Ex-ceded the Hopes of Directors Merritt's New Brass Band a ; Strong Feature of Show ] When .the-history of the Nicola Valley Agricultural and Horticultural Association is written the world will know' that its permanency and effectiveness "-. are due in a large measure to the substantial foundation on which' it was builded. - That foundation was well and truly laid on Wednesday afternoon when the first fall exhibition under the auspices of this society was held on the grounds at Col- lettville. The fair had all the earmarks of an institution much older in years and experience, and in every department more than met the fondest expectations of the "directors. . The show of live stock, the fruit, the vegetables, the minerals, the grains and the fancy work all combined to reflect a country of unlimited resources and possibilities and a people contented, happy and prosperous. Products from the irrigated lands as well as trom the sections of exclusive dry farming were placed side by side and showed to equal advantage. There were "ores"in"~profusion and if anyone had any doubt as to the mineral possibilities of the district he had but to study the nature and classes of the exhibits. ��� ��'But one feature of the fair that the public did enjoy was the band. The pioneer musical organization made its debut locally and a splendid impression they created. It is but a few short weeks since the band was organized, but Wednesday'sper- formance- shows what diligent study and application will do. The music showed good choice in selection and the various numbers were played with a harmony and unison that would do credit to a professional band. Prof. Simmons officiated as leader and the work of the band was well worthy of praise and served in a large sense to brighten and enliven the day. If the directors had had their choice of weather it is doubtful if they- could have improved upon Wednesday's conditions. It was really the first fine day in many weeks. The sun shone brightly and not too warmly and there was just sufficient of the breeze to relieve discomfort and to invigorate. v The attendance was large, there being nearly four hundred paid admissions at the gate as well as those.who used passes.or entry cards. It is estimated that the attendance would reach well over the five hundred mark. The exhibition building was well placed near the entrance. On the outer corner was the mineral exhibi t collected by William MacNeill and it comprised ores from the principal properties of the valley,; as well as the surrounding district. Aspen Grove camp, Granite Creek and Coal Gully were well represented. The show of gypsum by Robert Henderson was particularly interesting. Mr. Henderson has one of the largest deposits of gypsum in the province and a company is now being organized to operate the property which is located a short distance from Merritt. Not only is the gypsum found in almost inexhaustible quantities, but experts pronounce it to be of the very highest grade. Some of the models that can be readily formed with the material were on display. : On the inside of the building was another mineral exhibit and a large and representative one it was. Frank Bailey provided this exhibit. The fancy work and the works of art showed to good advantage as well as the various household arts. The fruit exhibit was a distinct credit to the district and should destroy any skepticism as to the fruit possibilities of Nicola valley. It is as one of the fruit judges said "that exhibit could go into the best fruit show in the land and win a prize." A special exhibit of box fruit was made Thos. Curnow of Spences Bridge and the judges have recommended that Mr. Curnow receive a special prize, it being impossible to award him a prize because he resides beyond the confines o'f Nicola valley. Mr. Curnow's exhibit was one of the finest ever seen in the upper country and was a splendid advertisement for the district in which the fruit was grown. He has been persuaded to allow the exhibit to go to other and larger centres and those who know fruit are convinced that it cannot be beaten anywhere. The showing in roots and vegetables and grains was particularly good though it would have been much larger had it not been for the recent destructive frosts. There were potatoes from the property of the Coal Hill Syndicate and grown at an altitude of over three thousand feet. There ^were-roots^and^vegetables^fronv the Aspen Grove district and reared without water. Taken in every department the resources and possibilities of the land were convincingly portrayed and the people of Nicola valley have every reason to feel proud. But it remained for the show ring to depict the premier industry of the district. The horses were really the strong card of the day. "I tell you they couldn't beat those horses in the best of their shows" declared one enthusiastic fancier. He was speaking mostly of the colts and fillies. And he was right. In every event there was a plentitude of entries and the qualicy of the horse flesh was of the best. If one could have studied carefully the different classes and contemplated he could exhibits and the splendid type of Nicola beef was all in evidence. Taken all in all It was a great fair for the first year, a distinct credit to the directors who have labored so faithfully and zealously, an honor to the district that gave it birth and an .inspiration for still greater achievements in future years for even now has the Nicola Valley Agricultural and Horticultural Association become a_ permanent and growing institution : and ���its fall exhibition a h ealth perennial. '._'". .-*. (Continued on Page 8) .; ��� ���' v- Saturday Extra! MAN KILLED AT MINES." George Cassidy, aged 25 years, a miner, was crushed to death' by the collapse of a portion of the ceiling in a chamber of- No. 1 slope at the Middlesboro mines at 7.30 o'clock this morning. . Thomas Meldrum,- his mate, escaped with slight injuries, the fallen timbers serving as a roof to shield him from the rock and "coal tons of which came down." An inquest was opened at 10 o'clock and after hearing the evidence and viewing the body, an adjournment was taken until Friday. Cassidy was one of' the best known miners in the camp. He leaves a wife and two children Mrs. Cassidy having come out to this country to join her husband about six weeks ago. When taken out Cassidy's body was found to be in a terribly mutilated form. The head that the first station out of Merritt will be lfcated on the ranch of Del King, 20 miles up, and the station building and yards will be directly in front of his house. The line itself runs through a corner of the present house. It is estimated that the construction for the first twelve jmiles will cost about $15,000 per 'mile. For the next four or five miles it will average $30,000 per mile and then for the Lungo and McDonald end it will run as high |as $45,000 per mile. Experimental Fruit Orchard Comes to the Local District was almost completely severed from the body. STANLEY KIRBY Nicola hotelman who says that ;N,i��q!a- is. fast becoming great summer resort. Big New Sawmill Soon to he Reality Men Being Rushed In for Construction First Station out of Merritt Will be Located on King's Ranch Men are being rushed in for the construction work on the Kettle Valley railway at this end. Several hundred are now at work but by the end of the month the contractors say that the force will number over one thousand. The steam shovel is doing good work and the dinkies are all in service. The sub-contracts for i the first thirty miles have all been let the last crew to arrive well forsee the magnificent future that lies before the horse industry of Nicola valley. The luxurious bunch grass that grows so prolificacy on the sunkissed hills produces sturdy animals and it matters not whether it be in the light or heavy draughts, in the roadster or hackney, in the Clydesdale or the Hamiltonian, Nicola valley can win first money any place. In the sheep and swine as well as in the cattle there were good being that of Bright and McDonald. They came from the island. Vancouver Island. Murchison and McMillan have the work for the fh'st 17 miles. They are joined by Hoi ley and Owens who have a contrac***- for nearly five miles. The next four and a half miles is in charge of Bright and McDonald, and the remaining four miles is being looked after by Lungo and McDonald. It is now definitely decided Plant With Capacity of 40,000 Feet Daily for Canford Canford is to have a fine big sawmill, constructed along the latest improved lines and with a capacity adequate to meet the growing demands of the different centres of building throughout the district. The new mill will cost in the neighborhood of $25,000 and will be capableof"cuttihg~40;000"feet of lumber daily. It will employ a large force of men and the plan of the company is to operate on the big scale. The company that has the project in hand comprises a number of capitalists from Torrington, Conn., and they are organizing with a capitalization of $200,000. They will likely get a charter on the other side of the line and then register in British Columbia. This company recently purchased the interests of the Nicola Valley Lumber Co., and owns 5200 acres of good timber. In addition to this they have accefs to a considerable area of other timber and the mills will have an ample supply for many years to come. ' The object is to not only cater to the local trade but to do a large export business .as well.* It may' be that the name of the new concern will be the Nicola Pine Lumber Co. . NICOLA HOLDS CUP Nicola tennis club holds the Tyson cup for another year. On the courts of the Merritt club last Saturday���_ afternoon the deciding games were pulled off and the team from the foot of the lake got away with a good mar- ���gin. Nicola went into Saturday's tourney with one point "to the good; Strickland having' defeated Boyd the previous day in the belated single fixture. In Saturday's play Merritt got away with only one event, Watson and Sutcliffe winning from Thompson and Grimmett. In the singles Strickland won from Boyd and Meiville (Nicola) defeated Browitt* (Merritt) in one set the game not being completed because of darkness. In the other doubles Strickland and Meiville (Nicola) defeated Boyd and Browitt (Merritt) and Marshall and Lund, (Nicola) "won from Smith and Tandy (Merritt). The ladies' served tea during the afternoon- and the occasion was not without a delightful social side.'' HUTCHISON MAKES GOOD r, ,,-.-._..--., William Dodd, government agent at Yale, is visiting in the valley. . . o ��� In +he tennis fixture at Victoria last Saturday B. P. Schwengers defeated Capt. Foulks, Canadian champion. It is but a few short weeks since John Hutchinson came to Merritt'tb loolcover the situation. He was living in Cranbrook at the time. He liked the, looks of the place and went back and packed his .trunk. When; .he, reached Merritt he opened up a real estate office and immediately went after business. With a reputation as a hustler it did not take him long to get in with the public and he is making good. It Was this same Mr. Hutchison that "put7 through one of the largest deals that has been consummated in Nicola valley for some=time=Avith=the=exeeption= of the sale of the Pooley ranch. Business big1 and small has passed through his hands but it fell to his lot the other day to sell the ranch property of Pete Marquet on the Aspen Grove road and the consideration was in the neighborhood of $20,000. The purchaser was William Thompson who comes from near Great Falls, Montana. Mr. Thompson is a sheep raiser and he will bring with him 3000 head of sheep when he [ comes here to live and will convert the Marquet place into a sheep raising ranch. . His coming will likely mean the coming of other settlers. Mr, Marquet retains the ranch until April 15 under lease and then Mr. Thompson will take it over. '������-' Advices to that Effect Were Received Here This Week Nicola valley will have one of the government experimental fruit orchards and it will likely be located somewhere in the vicinity of Merritt. The orchard will comprise five acres and will be planted out early next spring. This is the text of an announcement handed out by the department at Victoria this week. C. C. Clarkt of Kamloops, an agent of the department will be up here in a few weeks' time to select a suitable site, but the assurance is given that the orchard will be founded along the line of the C. P. R. : The policy that the department pursues in connection with these experimental orchards is to secure five acres of land, plant out the trees and then give instructions as to their care and handling for a period of ten years. Nicola valley is fortunate in securing an experimental base because fruit culture is but in its incipent stages locally though it is the opinion of capable men that the district is well adapted to the industry. A^ Local Miner - - Scored Highest Thos. Mordy Led the Province in Recent Mining Exams . A local miner has scored the highest percentage in the province in the recent miners' examinations. He is Thomas Mordy, fire boss at No. 1 pit of the Nicola Valley Coal and Coke Co.'s mines at Middlesboro. This is a signal honor and Mr. Mordy is deserving of the warmest congratulations of his friends. He passed in the first class and is now eligible to be mine manager. The=other-=suceessful=candidate= in the first class was J. McMillan. In the second class which qualifies the successful man for the office of overman, four passed. They were Howell Johns, George Hudson, Andrew Mc- Kendrick and Watty Williams. In the third class which qualifies for fireboss. A. Ewart was successful. The News joins with others in extending congratulations. William Mclntyre will go down to the coast Saturday to bring Mrs. Mclntyre back home. Dr. C. S. Williams has opened up offices in the Jackson block over the Bank of Montreal and has also secured temporary quarters at ��� the offices of the Nicola Valley.: Coal and Coke Co., in Middlesboro. Berlyn Bewley will open up a plumbing and steamfitting business in Merritt. Mr. Bewley has been ranching at Lower Nicola, but the pressure of work at Merritt has necessitated his removal to this place and the opening of a permanent shop.

The little fellow was climbing into the wagon when the horses started and he was pinned. The presence of mind of the driver saved more serious injuries. Rev. Archdeacon Pugh of Lytton came upon a speeder and at tended the little fellow. mier McBride has given British Columbia good government. Some people quarrel about die details of his railway policy, but he is right enough when he says that, if this empire of his is to be straddled, railways must do it. They made the. prairies. They will make British Columbia. There has been considerable comment upon the now famous reception that the Conservative Premier of British Columbia tendered to the great Liberal Premier of Canada. On all sides it is admitted that it was a political master-stroke on the part of the younger man. One of the "Politicians" who accompanied the Premier, stated to the pressman on board the Princess Charlotte just previous to entering Victoria harbor, "Now, boys, you will soon see the successor to our grand old Chieftain." The surprised Pressman asked, "Why, whom do you mean?" The significant and somewhat sorrowful reply was : "After Laurier, the Deluge, after the Deluge, McBride." Those who know Dick personally are convinced that his recent action was one of genuine magnanimity, prompted by a keen appreciation .of the exalted and honorable position Held by Sir Wilfrid, and by a desire to extend to him a typical western welcome. It is this generous personality, together with his native ability and successful career, that will carry "Dick" McBride to the premier's chair in Ottawa." BOQUET FOR McBRIDE "Collier's" which now claims place as the National Weekly of America with the largest circulation on the continent, contains the following editorial tribute to British Columbia's Premier, his tact, his ability and his winning persoriali ty, from the pen of Mr. H. F. Gadsby, who recently visited Victoria in the course of a trans-Canada tour in which he used both eyes and eara to excellent purpose: =^<'Eastel^newsp=aperswiiriiave noticed that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had to go three thousand miles from home to find a man who could play politics as well as he can.

MARGARET M. GRIMMETT Per Archibald W. McVittie August 5, 1910 39 Agent ASHCROFT H. B. Christie has been down at the coast for a few days. The Ashcroft Jockey Club will hold its regular meet on Wednesday and Thursday, October 12 and 13. Jos. Burr has gone up to Nicola valley and is spending a few days with his daughter at the head of Nicola Lake. The traffic up the Cariboo road is not quite a heavy as it has been though the stage lines are doing a good business yet. Mr. and Mrs. John Yorston of Australian ranch lost their little Premier Richard McBride, affec tionately called Dick by his loving subjects. The public reception at Victoria in which Premier McBride joined to honor the grand old man of Canada was a master stroke. It not only took the edge off Sir Wilfrid Laurier's visit *o British Columbia, but it disclosed Premier McBride a magnanimous hero. Why should one big man be afraid of another ? Do stars of the first magnitude clash in their orbits ? Premier McBride is well content that Sir Wilfrid should be the grand old man of Canada if he can remain the grand young one. Gazing in Premier McBride's face as in a looking-glass, Sir Wilfrid f aw himself as he was, say t thirty years ago when his step had more spring and his heart more blitheness. The same forehead, same nose, same figure, same iron gray hair, only more of it���yes, and the same brains, the same stage tricks, the same sunny manner, and, perhaps, the same ambition. Canada will always have a premier grooming somewhere. Pre- Land Act Nicola Land District. Kamloops Division of Yale. Take' notice that Martin L.

They have come and gone. The summer is just drawing to a close and soon again the little town at the foot of the lake will be wrapped in the robes of its regular routine. The invigorating climate, the health giving atmosphere, the wealth of scenic beauty, the attractiveness of its watering places, and its peculiarly fine position as a resort all combine to increase its popularity with the travelling public. They have come from all parts of the land and they have gone away better pleased and resolved to return next year. An excellent opportunity is presented to the people of Nicola to inaugurate aJ publicity campaign and thus attract more visitors during the summer months. There are numberless publicity agents abroad��� men and women who have imbibed of the beauties of the town���and the popular opinion is voiced in the words of a New Yorker when he said ' 'its the greatest townsite I have seen for years. It is a pretty spot and very healthy and I intend to bring my family back next year for a few months' stay."

B.C THEODORE ROOSEVELT It is now almost a certainty that Theodore Roosevelt will be a candidate for presidential honors when the next appeal is made to the electorate across the border. Political conditions in United States are very unsettled at present. Roosevelt is going up and down through the land cannonading right and left and the result is that it is almost impossible to to gather a clear conception of actual conditions. It is patent that William Taft is not as strong as he was a few months ago. He seems to have gotten in wrong and the people don't take to him just as much as he would like. On the other hand Roosevelt is blowing his own horn and blowing it hard. He wants people to know that he is alive.and his.affiliation with the insurgent element has given him, a place in the fighting line. But. whatever may be the outcome Canadians can rest assured that friendly feelings towards Canada will be maintained by either of the leaders. That in itself is reassuring and a splendid aid to trade relationship. The THE FALL FAIR fall fair has come and gone. It has passed into history but the directors as well as the good people of Nicola valley have every reason to feel satisfied. It is no mean task to undertake an exhibition of this character and it redounds to the credit of the men who had it in hand that they were able to bring the enterprise to such a' successful issue. There is much of the educational in a fall fair. The proT ducts of the soil and mine, the cattle, sheep, swine and horses, reflect conditions as they obtain under different circumstances. One farmer will profit by the experience of another and a mighty poor man he is who cannot reap _.something_of the educational. THE CITY BAND If there is one institution in Merritt deserving of sympathy and support it is the recently organized band. With a membership of fourteen at present there are several other old players available if funds were forthcoming to purchase instruments. Two more cornets, a couple of clarionets and a trombone or two would go a long ways towards perfecting the present organization. Players for these instruments are available. Uniforms will be necessary and the citizens of Merritt could not do better than subscribe towards the improvement and maintenance of their band. Thai the band has made good thus far cannot be denied. Under the circumstances the members havt made wonderful progress and they should not be handicapped in their aim to give the local public good music. A town without a band is a pretty dull town, for after all music has its charms for even the most fastidious. The News will next week inaugurate a subscription columr through which subscriptions csn be sent in towards the band fund and it is the duty of every lover of music as - well as every patriotic citizen to do his share towards the maintenance of so deserving an institution. There was a heavy frost a few weeks ago and it destroyed many of the vegetables and roots. That affected the exhibits in a sense, but despite these difficulties the show was a magnificent one in every sense of the word. With improvement from year to year it will not be long until Nicola valley will have the premier show of the upper country. We have the opportunity to make it so and we got away to a good start. TRANQUILLE SANATORIUM The formal opening of Tranquille Sanatorium on Wednesday afternoon marks an important epoch in the life of a movement that has long since found a large place in the hearts of the people of British Columbia. Three years ago a few public spirited men joined hands and organized a scheme to check the career of the white plague in this province. They met with many difficulties and at first the work was of the most discouraging type. But they labored long and faithfully and it was not long before they had enthused-the great mass of the people and aroused sufficient of real active interest to ensure the success of the movement. Tranquille was selected as the most ideal spot for a sanitarium and so it was that the property of William Fortune was purchased. Changes and improvements were effected and soon what was once a mere ranching property was converted into a modern and fully equipped institution for fighting the white plague. But the buildings were too small to meet the ever increasing patronage and a fund was organized to erect larger and more commodi- ous^buildings The necessary care in passing through-wooded parts because a spark __.from the engine may mean a tremendous loss. . . ��� ^V ;������.:������, ���:." KAMLOOPS POLICE Over in Kamloops there has been a squabble amongst the police officers with the result that the force is in a state of disorganization and the police commissioners have called for resignations all round. . .-;.v Chief McGill was charged by an inferior officer with certain misdemeanor but succeeded in clearing himself. The commis sioners exonerated him and then asked to resign. Those who know Chief McGill will agree that he is one of the soundest men in the service of the law in the upper country. He is honourable almost to a fault and has always, displayed excellent ability and judgment.. Why he should be asked to resign when he is immune ftorn fault is the cause of much speculation, but it is not likely that he will acceed to the request of the commissioners. The public is in sympathy with him and his past record justifies him in demanding an explanation from the board before he hands in a resignation. - Land Act. Kamloops Division of Yale Land District.

If there is one movement that should have the sympathy of the public it is the movement promoted by the Anti-Tuberculosis Society, and while in the past they have met a liberal hand extended by the people still there is much before them and good practical support is as essential today as it ever was and even more so. Bush fires are becoming more and more of a real menace and better precautions will have to be taken to ensure the safety of the public as well as the protection of property. It seems absurd to impose a fine of a few paltry dollars on a man who will deliberately set out a fire when thousands of dollars in property is lost and perhaps many lives endangered. More stringent means will have to be followed. The system of fire wardens is good, but it is impossible to expect that these men will prevent fire spreading when it has secured a good start. In this same respect it would be well to make the railroads exercise greater ���AN N Q--U;N,e.;E W:S;KT:,':;',. 'T'O-DAY, for the, fest" time here, the new medicinal preparation���"ASA YA-NEURALL"���is offered for sale, and may be obtained from the undersigned. " ASAYA-N_EURAL.lv" represents the latest conclusions of medical research in the effort to supply the nervous organization of the body with the elements lequired to restore normal nervous health, in a form capable of being assimilated by the weakest digestive organs. As is well known, every effort of the mind and every movement of a muscle uses up a part of the tissues of the nervous system, the waste products of which have been found by chemical examination of the excretions to consist largely of mineral phosphates. In health, when the nervous forces are not ov��r-exerted, certain foods, such as fish, eggs, milk, etc., supply sufficient of the phosphatic principle to restore this loss. But when a person, young or old, through over wcik, worry, intense excitement, grief, alcoholic or other excesses, over-exerts the nerve.powers, accelerating the using up cf nerve tissue and the consequent loss of the phosphatic principle past the power of recuperation by the ordinary channels of the food, the condition of nervous exhaustion results. These facts have long been known, and physicians liave for years endeavored to aid the system to regain its normal supply of the vital phosphatic element by the giving of phosphorus compounds of many kinds. The preparation���" ASAYA-NEURALL"���may be described briefly, as the latest advance in the art of phosphatic medication, suitably prepared for general public use.. In it phosphorus is supplied in practically the same form as it exists in the human system, thus enabling this nerve building element to be easily assimilated even by those whose digestive powers have been so weakened by disease as to make it impossible for them to retain and assimilate phosphorus preparations of any other kind. It is a safe, home remedy, immeasurably superior to any previous compound, for siinilar purposes, andshould bc 'tak-vi by persons suffering from NERVOUS NERVOUS EXHAUSTION DEBILITY NERVOUS HYSTERIA PROSTRATION INSOMNIA recovering from child-birth and for all . nervous despondency frequently exp:. .. . oinen when conditions of nervous derangement resulting from the uausts named above. "ASAYA-NEURALL" checks the night sweats due to extreme nervous debility, and, under the physician's' direction, will be found of great service as a reconstructive tonic in. the treatment of wasting and debilitating diseases, especially Consumption, where it is of prime importance to maintain the nervous strength, and during the convalescence from acute diseases, such as Pneumonia, La Grippe, etc. C FREE TRIAL SAMPLE OFFERED.-BENEFICIAL EFFECTS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY EVIDENT. ���'. The first effect of this preparation is the lifting of the feeliug of depression -and.the awakening to a more lively interest in things about us. Ability to sleep returns, the digestive powers are roused, the appetite improves, and a general feeling of rejuvenation and renewal of energy is felt. The beneficial- effects are evident almost at the first dose. Not due, however, to false stimulation, as in alcoholic preparations, but to real feeding of the under-nourished nerve tissues, while the time to stop taking this preparation is as evident as is the time to stop at meal time, that is, when the nerves have been fed until their normal condition returns and a buoyant feeling of nervous health replaces the depression previously experienced. SPKCIAL NOXICE, Any adult person may, within ten days from the date when this notice appears, obtain ��� ��� a liberal sized free sample-bottie of '" ASA Y A-N EURALL," quite sufficient to definitely establish the value of this preparation in their case, by fi lliug iri the coupon below and presenting same to the undersigned. "AS A YA-NEURALL" is regularly sold in large bottles at $1.50 each. One bottle, taken three times a day according to directions, affords treatment for about forty days, all chat is usually required for ordinary derangements of the nervous system.

The new building in course of erection for J. S. Morgan on Quilchena Ave., will be a valued addition to the business blocks of that district. It has a good floor space and is two storeys high ensuing plenty of space. The work will likely be completed in a week or two. Mrs. Tutill and Mrs. Pooley together with William Voght returned last Monday night from Harriston Hot Springs where they have spent the past week or so enjoying the beauties of that well known resort. The next regular meeting of the Nicola Valley Board of Trade is scheduled for Tuesday evening next, September 20th, in the offices of the Southern B. C. Lands and Mines. Quilchena was represented and financially the enterprise was a gratifying success. The Nicola Valley orchestra never played to better advantage and their efforts met with warm appreciation, evidence of which was found in the repeated encores. During the evening refreshments were served by the Ladies' Guild of St. Michael's church. BEFORE THE CADI Many from Merritt will tonight attend the dance given under the auspices of the Middlesboro Society in the new club house. These social dances are becoming a permanent fixture and their enjoyment is ever increasing. from night fruit The Thos. Curnow went back to his home in Spences Bridge this morning after spending several days in and around.Merritt. Mr. Curnow will likely engage in the livery business in the near future. Thos. Curnow came up Spences Bridge Tuesday bringing with him, some exhibits for the fall fair, apples were about as fine a specimen ever grown in this dis-. trict and reflect great credit on Mr. Curnew. Miss Curnew was also in attendance at the fair. A local lodge of the I. 0. 0. F. is being organized at Merritt. A meeting of members was held the other day and it was evident that there are a large number of "three linkers" in- this community so that a good strong lodge can be formed. There were four cases of drunkeness before the magistrate on Monday and fines of five dollars and costs were imposed in all but the case of Harper who was taxed ten dollars and costs. The other offenders were Todd, Alice, J. Swackam and Chas. Swackam. Jos. Sterling was fined $50 and costs for supplying liquor to the Indians. The week has been fairly quiet and on fair day particularly good order was maintained thanks to Constable Clarke and his corps of specials. o ISSUE IS LATE The Ladies' Guild of St. Michael's church conducted a refreshment booth on the fair gronnds on Wednesday with the result that the coffers of that deserving institution have been considerably replenished. Lunch was served at noon and many took advantage of the opportunity. Owing to a temporary disorganization of the staff coupled with an unusually large amount of work this week's issue of The News is late. It is the first in many months that the paper has not appeared on scheduled time and our readers will bear with' us for once. ''' . ' O " ; THE NEWS SPECIAL .

A note of progress is found in the interior appearance of the Gemmill & Rankine drug store, With linoleum and matting on the floors, tasty curtains across the entrance to the postoffice and other improvements it seems quite a bit cheerier for the visitors. When a firm is prosperous it should look prosperous and Messrs. Gemmill & Rankine are firm believers in that doctrine. President J. J. Warren of the Kettle Valley railway went down to the coast on a business trip on Wednesday morning's train. He will return to Merritt tonight or tommorrow. -:. ���'... .-- The Merritt Herald has been organized as a joint' stock company with five local citizens as shareholder?.

He rose from his seat and paced the room, puffing savagely at his cigar. Then he turned and said: "a.ia removal is a political necessity. If he goes back on the bench every paltry justice of the peace, every petty official will think he has a special mission to tear down the structure that hard work and capital have erected. No, this man has been especially conspicuous in bis efforts to block the progress of amalgamated Interests." "And so he must be sacrificed?" cried Shirley indignantly. "He is a meddlesome man," insisted Ryder, "and"��� "He is innocent of the charges brought against him,? urged Jefferson. "Mr. Ryder is not considering that point," said Shirley- bitteriy. "All he can see is that it is necessary to put this poor old man in the public pillory, to set him up as a warning'to others of his class not to act in accordance with the principles of truth and justice ���not to dare to obstruct the car of Juggernaut set in motion by. "the.money gods of the country!" "It's the survival of..the, fittest,. my dear," said Ryder coldly. "Oh," cried Shirley, making a last appeal to the financier's heart of stone, "use your great influence with this governing body for- good, not, evil! Urge them to vote Dot In accordance, with party policy and-personal interest, but in accordance with their consciences���in accordance with truth and justice! Ah, for God's sake, Mr. Ryder, don't permit this foul injustice to blot the name of the highest tribunal in the western world!" Ryder laughed cynically. "By Jove! Jefferson, I give yon credit for having secured, an eloquent advocate!" "Suppose," went on Shirley, ignoring his taunting comments, "suppose this .daughter promises, that she.will never ���never see your bob again���that sh�� will go a Way to some foreign country r* "No!" burst in Jefferson. "Why should she? If my father Is. not man* enough to do a simple act of justice without bartering a woman's happiness and his son's happiness, let him' find' comfort in his self justification!" Shirley, completely unnerved,, made .a. move toward the door, unable longer to bear the strain she was under. She.. tottered as though she.would fall. "Ryder made a quick, movement toward,his. son and took him by the arm. Pointing to Shirley, he said in a,low���tone: "You see.. how the girl pleads yous cause for you! She loves, you, my boy!" Jefferson started. "Yes, she does," pursued Ryder senior. "She's worth a thousand of the Rossmore woman. Make her your wife, arid I'll"��� "Make her my wife!" cried Jefferson joyously. He stared at his parent aa if he thought he^had.suddenly been^be* reft of his senses. "Make her my wife?" he repeated incredulously. "Well, what do you,say?" demanded Ryder senior. The young man advanced toward Shirley hands outstretched. "Yes, yes, Shir���Miss Green, - will you?" Seeing that Shirley made no sign, he said: "Not now, father. I will speak to her later." "No, no; tonight���at once!" Insisted,; Ryder. Addressing Shirley, he went on: "Miss Green, my son is much af- _^Cected___b_v_^your_disinterested appeal in his behalf. He���he*���you can "save biriT from himself. My son wishes you���he asks you to become his wife! Is It not so, Jefferson?" "Yes, yes, my wife!" advancing again toward Shirley. The girl shrank back In alarm. "So, no, no, Mr. Ryder, I cannot; 1 cannot!" she cried. "Why not?" demanded.Ryder senloi nppealingly. "Ah, don't���don't decid�� hastlly"- Shirley, her face set and drawn and keen mental distress showing in every line of It, faced the two men, pale and determined. The time had come to re. veal the truth. This masquerade could go on no longer. It was not honorable either to her father or to herself. Her self respect demanded that she inform the financier of her true identity. "I cannot marry your son with these lies upon my lips!" she cried. "I cannot go on with this deception. I told you you did not know who I was, who my people were. My story about them, my name, everything about me is false, every word I have uttered is a He, a fraud, a cheat! I would not tell you now, but you trusted.me and are willing to entrust your son's future, your family honor In my keeping, and 1 can't keep back the. truth from you. Mr. Ryder, I am, the daughter of the man you hate. I am the woman your son loves. I am Shirley Rossmore!" Ryder took, his cigar from his lips and rose slowly to his feet. "You? You?" he stammered. "Yes���yes, I am the Rossmore woman! Listen, Mr. Ryder. Don't turn away from me. Go to Washington on behalf of my father, and 1 promise you I will never see your son again��� never, never!" "Ah, Shirley!" cried Jefferson, "yon don't love me!" "Yes. Jeff. I do. God knows 1 do! But if I must break my own heart to save my father I will do It." "Would you sacrifice my happiness and your own?" -i\o nappiness can oe' bunt on lies. Jeff. We must build on truth or our whole house will crumble and fall. We have deceived your father, but he will forgive that, won't you?" she said, ap- I pealing to Ryder, "and you will go to Washington, you will save my father's honor, his life. you will?"��� They stood face to face���this slim, delicate girl battling for her father's life, arrayed against a cold blooded, heartless, unscrupulous man, deaf to every impulse of human sympathy or pity. Since this woman had deceived him, fooled him, he would deal with her as with every one else who crossed his will. She laid her hand on his arm. r pleading with him. Brutally, savagely, he thrust her aside. "No, no, I will not!" he thundered. "You have wormed yourself Into my confidence by means of lies and deceit. You have tricked me, fooled me to the very limit! Oh, it is easy to see how you have beguiled my son into the fol ly of loving you! And you���you have the brazen effrontery to ask me to plead for your father? No! No! No: Let the law take its course, and now. Miss Rossmore, you will please leave my house tomorrow morning!" Shirley-stood listening to what he- had to say, her face white, her mouth quivering. At last the crisis had come. It was a fight to the finish between this man, the incarnation of corporate greed, and herself, representing the fundamental principles of right ;ami justice. She turned on him in a fury: "Yes, I will leave your house tonight! Do you think 1 would remain another hour beneath the,roof of a man who is as blind to justice, as deaf to mercy, as. incapable of human sympathy, as you are!" She raised .her voice, .and as she stood . there denouncing the man of money, her eyes flashing arid her head thrown back, she looked- like some avenging angel defying one of the powers of evil. "Leave the room!" shouted Ryder, beside himself, and pointing to the door. "Father!" cried Jefferson, starting forward to protect the girl he loved. "You have tricked him as you have me!" thundered Ryder. "It is your own vanity that has tricked you!" cried Shirley contemptuously. "You lay traps for yourself and wiilk into them. You can tell every one around you to lie to you, to cajole you. to praise you, to deceive you! At least you cannot accuse me of flattering you' 1 have never fawned upon you as yon compel your family and your .friend' and your dependents to do. 1 have :. ways appealed to your better nature by��� telling.you the truth, and in yoiir heart you know that I am speaking the .truth., now." -Go!" he commanded. "Yes, let us go, Shirley!" said Jefferson. ''No, Jeff, I came here alone, and I'm going alone!" "You are uot. I shall go with yon. 1 intend to make you my wife!" Ryder laughed scornfully. "No," cried Shirley. "Do you think I'd marry a man whose father is as deep a discredit to the human race as your father, is? No. I wouldn't marry the son of such a merciless tyrant! He refuses to lift his voice to save my father.. I refuse to marry his son!" She turned on Ryder with all the fury of a tiger: "You think If you lived In the olden days you'd be a Caesar or an Alexander, But you wouldn't! You'd be a rress. ��� :Nornrng ,uow .couici save ner father, uot even this journey to Washington ���which'she determined to take ���nevertheless; for, according to what Stott had ~aid. the senate was to-take a vote that very night. She looked at the time���11 o'clock. She had told Mr. Ryder that she would leave his house at once, but on reflection if was.impossible' for a girl alone to seek a room at that hour. It would be midnight before she coulcl get her things packed. No, she would stay under this haled roof until morning and then take the first train to Washington. There was still a chance that the vote might he delayed, in which case she might yet succeed in winning over some of the senators. She began to gather her things together and was thus engaged when she heard a knock at her door. "Who's there?" she called out. "It's I," replied a familiar voice. . Shirley went to the door and opening it found Jefferson on the threshold. ��� Hcs-made uo attempt to enter, uor <lid she invite him in. He looked tired and careworn. "Of course, you're not going tonight?" he asked anxiously. "My father did uot mean to-night." "No, Jeff," she said wearily; "not tonight. It's a little too late. I did not realize it. Tomorrow morning, early." He seemed reassured and held out his hand. "Good night, dearest. You're a brave girl. You made a splendid fight." "It didn't do much good," she replied . in a disheartened, listless way. "But it set him thinking,'.' rejoined Jefferson. "No one ever spoke to my father like that before. It did him good.,, He's still marching up and down the library, chewing the cud"��� Noticing Shirley's tired face and her eyes, with great black circles underneath, he stopped short. "Now. don't do any more packing to- - night," he said. "Go to bed, and iD the morning I'll come up and help you. Good night!" "Good night. Jeff," she smiled. He went downstairs, and after doing some more packing she went to bed. But it was hours before she got to sleep, and then she dreamed that she was in the senate chamber and that she saw Kyder suddenly rise and .denounce' himself before the astonished senators as a perjurer and traitor to his country, while she returned'to Mas- sapequa with the glad news "that '.'her father was acquitted. Meantime a solitary figure remained i:i the library, pacing to and fro like a ���|.>.;t son! in purgatory.

For. the first time in his lire John Ryder realized that there was something in the world beyond self. ���He had seen with his own eyes the sacrifice a daughter will make for the father she loves, and he asked himself what manner of a .man that father could be to inspire such devotion iu his child. He probed into his own heart and conscience and reviewed his past career. He had. been phenomenally successful, but he" had not been happy. He had more money than, he knew what to do with, but the pleasures of the^domestic circle, which he saw other men enjoy, had been denied to him. Was he himself to blame? Had his insensate craving for gold and power led him to neglcci those other things in life which contribute more truly to man's happinessV In other words, was his life a mistake? i'es, it was true what this girl charged���he had been "Leave the room!" nkoutcil Ryder, Nero���a Nero!

She had borne up courageously while there remained the faintest chance that she might succeed in moving the financier to pity, hut now that all hopes In that direction were shattered and she herself had been ordered harshly from the house, like any ordinary malefactor, the reaction set In. and she gave way Treely to her long pent-up anguish and dis- merciless and unson!piTKTas_ln-his"denl' ings with his follow man.

He unhooked the telephone and, calling "central." asked for "long distance" and connection with Washington.
