Hedley residents push steps to supply reliable electric power for mining operations. Local leaders coordinate with utility firms and state agencies to secure infrastructure, stabilize rates, and support regional industry growth. Community groups rally for updated lines and sustained energy access.
The Hedley Power and Development Congregation moves to organize under the Companies Act with memorandum of association prepared by L H Patten. Provisional directors stake water rights on the Similkameen near the brewery site and plan to secure power contracts while surveying costs for a hydraulic project to supply cheaper power to Daly Reduction Co. The issue touches local politics, past accusations, and postal regulation protests.
The Gazette details a complex propaganda and mechanical scheme involving the Pioneer, Hedley, and Daly Reduction Co. in Greenwood. It describes the distribution of printed material, the use of a photo and engraving process, and a detailed account of a mine tipple and ore handling system with a G. P. Jones designed car dumping mechanism, bell crank, and track braking.
Town mourns as West, a 2 year old from Liverpool working five months at Daly Reduction Co, dies from a ruptured artery after leg amputation for a foot injury at the stamp mill on Oct 25. He was respected by coworkers, and his funeral is set for 2:50 p.m. today.
W J Manery of the Lower Stikine area sent a box of Jonathan Boellflower and Gano apples to The Gazette this week. The Jonathan and Gano coloring was superb and the fruit consistently shows excellent quality and flavor, though fruit dealers note the size can be larger than usual.
