LOCAL PARAGRAPHS ELECTION DAY Items of General Interest and Personal Mention —The Voters' List—Names of Polling Places W. D. Young, who has a fine ranch on Wolf creek, has had discouraging experiences with his crops' this year, for the rains have wrought havoc with quite every stage of growth and garnering. However, Mr. Young is not in despair, and yet sees a bright and shining star on the horizon of the future that will lead on to fortune. Applications for the position of teacher for the Princeton public school have been received by secretary Bell from Misses Pailp and Moore, Vancouver. The first named has been accepted and may arrive on today's stage. W. T. Walmsley has been in the Similkameen some two weeks with A. F. Gwin and has formed the opinion that this is the greatest mineral belt on the continent today. Bert Thomas has gone to Copper mountain to do assessment work. J. Smith, Granby mining engineer in the Boundary, accompanied by Mr. Mc- Ras, have been examining mining properties in the Granite creek section re- ■ Van Mills was last heard from at Grand Forks and was likely to be caught in the Poplar creek gold rush. A thoughtful and kindly act on the part of Barr Hall was the presentation of a fine illuminating lamp to the church authorities recently. "Lead kindly light," may not irreverently be said to symbolize the properties of this lamt Welby and his horn were at the end of the ribbons on Wednesday's stage. C. B. Peterson owner of a ranch six miles up the Tulameen, is expected here about the ist October. His wife is seri- | ouslv ill with typhoid fever in Grand Forks and is not expected to recover. A demented man at Granite creek has been wandering about for the past month, but was recently taken to Fairview by Dr. Whillans, there to await action of the authorities. The name of the unfortunate man is Harry Lee and it is understood that he had sunstroke some years ago in the tropics from which he never fully recovered. Wm. Knight returned on Monday from his summer's work on the Transvaal group. He is more than pleased with the results both in work accomplished and the ore showings. From specimens shown there can be no doubt of values and as to quantity the claim is a mass of ore to its extent. He will go to Kennedy mountain to do some assessment work the Invincible after which he will prol bly strike coastwards for the winter. On his arrival here and as secretary of the "Dirty Dozen Club," by order of President Webb, a meeting was called, at which only the treasurer, 'Pills' Dunsmoor, was absent. All having kissed the book their old friend B. Jack gave them some delightful reminiscences in card legerdemain. Jack McDonald, Jim Campbell and Billy Clements returned from Summit camp on Wednesday. They report snow in the higher altitudes. "Tudge" Woods has gone to the Boundary for the winter, intending to return with the birds next spring. James Hislop, C.E., when last heard from was at Red Deer and Was then ending to go out on the Grand Trunk Pacific survey, in charge of a party, between Battleford and Red Deer, Alberta. He reports disagreeable weather there and a fall of snow at Minot, Dak., of about two feet. For the present his P.O. is Edmonton. Jim Stott and 'big' Bill Martin rode into town on a couple of fiery bronchos on Wednesday from Hedley where they had been contracting. Jim Jameson is still playing 'fox and goose' with constable Nesbitt, from whom he escaped at Keremeos. 'A stern chase is a long chase.' Rev. J. Stewart will preach his farewell sermon at 3 o'clock, tomorrow, in school house. An official copy of the voters' lis ceived bears the names of 616 voters. Beyond a few typographical errors the list seems to be correct. Emil Voigt, who met with an accident on the Hope trail, returned home last week and is quite recovered from the broken leg. H. C. Killeen, government road veyor, having finished the road location to Copper mountain went to Victoria to file his report. From the Similkameen bridge, Princeton, to Voigt's camp, Copper mountain, is ten miles, less 1800 feet. T. H. Parr, P.L.S., of Victoria, is surveying thirteen coal claims near town in which the B.C. Collieries Co. are owners Col. Downing has arrived safely at Vancouver. In crossing the Hope divide he was nearly crossing the great divid* that separates this life from death. In the twilight, having gone to his tent door, he observed something that res bled a grizzly, seizing his gun on the spur of the moment he placed the muzzle where the butt should be and only for his friend who saw his mistake, he would now be floating down the mythical Stygian river. Farther on in the journey the Col. saw two dear but before he could get his hatchet unpacked they disappeared in the gloaming. Come back soon, Col. J. and F. Gladdin have gone up the Tulameen on a prospecting trip. POLITICAL SUMMARY LIBERAL OUTLOOK Most Gratifying Reports—Not One Discordant Note- Calm and Confident of Victory. From all parts of the Similkameen riding most hopeful reports come of the work being done by, and on behalf of, W. A. McLean, the Liberal candidate. W. J. Snodgrass and the candidate are presenting the Liberal cause with earnest fervor and with very favorable acceptance to the electors of the southeastern portions of the district. An united front without a ripple of disaffection, is the happy condition of Liberalism there and indeed throughout the whole district- which spells victory in large letters for Mr. McLean. On the basis of a close calculation and actual solicitation, Fairview, Mr. Shatford's home, and the smaller polling places in the vicinity, it is estimated, will give Mr. McLean such a majority as will offset any doubtful places in this end of the district, thus leaving the southeastern portion as a Liberal clei gain. Hedley is conceded to be largely Liberal by careful judges on the spot, while at Princeton the vote will break more evenly. Authentic information to the strength of the parties in other sections has not been received to date but the indications are that there will be majorities in many if not all of them for Mr. McLean. The outlook for the Liberals, not only in the Similkameen, but for the whole province is most encouraging and flattering to the cause. The province is Liberal in Dominion politics, why then should there be change, seeing that Canada never enjoyed greater prosperity than under present Liberal rule. The Grand Trunk Pacific transcontinental railway is a splendid testimonial of Liberal foresight and business capacity. If a railway is required in the Similkameen, which no one doubts, entrust the business and legislative portions of it the Liberals if it must be economically and quickly done. From now until polling day let every Liberal do his duty and victory will mosl certainly be their reward. A. Hickling, of London, Eng., managing director of the Vermilion Forks Mining and Development Co., cam on Wednesday's stage and is the guest of E. Waterman. Messrs. R. Stevenson, A. F. Gwin, Stevenson, jr., and W. T. Walmsley, s at the Lost Mine. A Bachelor's Trials. Bushytail rats are very plentiful this year, a bachelor rancher having killed no less than seventeen in his cabin on a wet day last week. He says the bushy- tails scared his cat till he left his bed and board, they elude the trap, refuse poison and are now busy night and day threshing out what little grain he managed to save 'between times' this summer. He has had a rough house on several occa-1 sions in his encounters with them and they dispute his right to even his own underwear having destroyed all but one garment which he saved by saturating with kerosene. His ranch is for sale as he is suffering from nervous prostration caused by the bushytails playing hide and seek on his bed while he is trying to slumber. He predicts an open winter as there is little fur on the varmints and they are also very lean. Our bachelor friend has suggested that the government should put a bounty on Mr. Bushytail as is done on his relative Miss Coyote, in any case he will support the government that will legislate the brute off the earth. List of Polling Places. The following is an official list of the polling places throughout the Similkameen electoral district: Stemwinder mine, Fairview ; J. G. Thynne's house, Otter Valley; F. P. Cook's store, Granite Creek; Court house, Princeton; School house, Keremeos; W. C. McDougall's office, Olalla; Nickel Plate mine; post office, White Lake; school house, Hedley city; police office, Camp McKinney; school house, Okanagan Falls; S. H. Sid- ley, Rock creek; G. O. Guise, Westbridge; deputy mining recorder's office, Beaver- dell. Dr. Whillans Removes to Hedley. Dr. Whillans and family removed to Hedtey'last week where he is surgeon awjfphysician to the Nickel Plate mine and the Yale Reduction works. The change from here ie an important one inasmuch as he is now in assurancce of a stipend commensurate with his profession. He will pay occasional (fortnightly) professional visits to Princeton. The Dr. and his wife may be termed pioneers of the town and like all others in frontier life have had to endure the inconveniences incident thereto. The best wishes of many friends go with them in their new home. D. McEachren, advance agent for the W. T. Shatford troupe, was in town Thursday and gave notice of an exhibition by the great conservative contortionists Murphy & Shatford on Tuesday evening. They say Murphy in his 'big thunder' act is really eccentric and marvellous. Jas. N. Paton has gone to Greenwood. There is an abundance of wild fowl about, grouse, chicken, duck and geese. No bachelor's larder is empty now. THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR September 26, 1903 The Similkameen Star Published Weekly at — Princeton, B. C. — The Princeton Publishing Co. A. E. Howse, Manager.

As between Liberal and Conservative in the present campaign there are far more weighty considerations than the mere triumph of party. For victory is worse than defeat a hundredfold if it has not been won by the suasion of the minds and hearts of the people in favor of a great principle or truth. A battle gained by mere overpowering numbers or sheer brute force is inglorious if not ignominious. And the man who casts a vote void of the spirit of truth, or patriotism and who is actuated only from selfish .motives commits mental suicide and is a positive injury to the country because he has voted against his conscience. Now, it is obvious that as between two political parties one must be right in principle and foundation and the other wrong. One has the spirit of right doing and the other does right only when compelled to, the first is Liberal and the last is Conservative, as time and experience have so often proven. Liberal principles—ever progressive, making and anticipating reforms. Conservative — let things remain as they are and retain the old usages and customs of our un- modern forefathers. Here then are the forks in the political trail, and choice must be made by the electors of Similkameen riding for the first time as a constituency and for the first time as political parties. Their first choice then should be Liberal and right and no regrets will follow. Putting the best foot forward is the inclination of every rational man, and having made an analysis or made certain deductions on the relative merits of the Liberal and Conservative parties he should without any hesitation put his best mental foot forward and openly pronounce himself on the side of his choice. It is the uncertain or equivocating voter that is: so ruinous to political purity. A man deciding on the dictates of his conscience cannot go amiss. Hence, it is with an almost positive assurance of victory that an appeal is made to those who are reasonable to vote Liberal and for W. A. McLean on October 3rd. No men, and especially working- men, heeding the voice of reason, can afford to vote for a party that has little identification with the workingman such as the Conservative party by record and reputation is known to be. The mining and agricultural classes, in fact all engaged in manual industry in the Similkameen will undoubtedly serve their interests best, for the various reasons named, by recording their votes for the Liberal candidate, W. A. McLean. EDITORIAL NOTES. Nearly twenty years of Conservative domination in the B. C. Government : results—forever borrowing money ; poor credit in the money markets; public lands given away ; no railroad into the Similkameen, the richest and fairest district in the province; the least efficient and most corrupt official service ever known; political disruption and turmoil and the lower elements of political life propagated and fostered until the name " B.C. Government" has become a byword wherever the English language is spoken. The man who is a Conservative ■ of any other political faith because of tradition or pedigree is not much better than a mechanical contrivance. Think, men ! Another transcontinental railway by the Liberals. It was opposed at every stage of legislation by the Conservatives. Liberalism and progress. Conservatism and stagnation. The Grand Trunk Pacific will be built at a cost to the country of $13,000,000 ; the Canadian Pacific was built at a cost of $75,000,000 to the country. The first is Liberal thrift and economy ; the second is Conservative waste and prodigality. for a license to prospect for coal on the followin Commencing at a post marked E.

THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR September 26, 1903 POLITICAL PABAGRAPHS. The Provincial Political Pot is Now Boiling Over. A rally of two hundred and thirty-seven of Nelson's electors was the inspiring augury of success that greeted S. S. Taylor, the Liberal candidate for Nelson riding in his committee rooms. This is by far the largest rally ever held in the political history of this city. Mr. Taylor in his speech exposed the record of the Conservatives in this province and the weakness of their leaders, and pointed out the immense superiority of the platform the Liberals offer. Mr. Taylor made a special point of the fact that the question now before the electors was not so much whether Liberals or Conservatives should rule, but whether or not the present corrupt, timeserving and incapable administration should continue in charge of this province, which they are already responsible for bringing to the verge of ruin. The names submitted to the Liberal convention for Vancouver city and accepted as party candidates in the forthcoming provincial election are : T. S. Baxter, barrister; Joseph Martin, barrister; J. D. Turnbull, ex-foreman at the C.P.R. wharf and member of the U.B.R. E.; Dr. W. D Brydone-Jack;C. R. Monck, stonecutter. With the exception of Hon. A. E. McPhillips, attorney general, all the cabinet ministers have uow left Victoria. The premier has begun his tour at Delta and will work right up through the several ridings into the Kootenays. The Conservative convention at Victoria has nominated the full predicted ticket headed by ex-mayor Charles Hay- ward, Harry Helmcken, Hon. A. E. Mc- Ppillips and Joseph Hunter Conservative Breach of Faith. Premier McBride's unprecedented breach of faith in the matter of the elec- ons threatens to bring disaster in its 'ake. Had the managers of the many agricultural exhibitions to be held at the :nd of this month and the first week in October been aware of the premier's into hold the elections on Oct. 3rd, they would have so arranged their fair dates as not to be interfered with by political meetings, political feeling and campaign work. As is many of these annual which mean so much to a community from a business point of view, will suffer materially from the clash that must nevitably result from the change. This will especially be the case in New West- ninster, whose fair, the chief annual ;vent of that city, is threatened with ir- •eparable injury by the change of date ol the elections. Profound indignation is that city as elsewhere with the Government for their ill-conceived trick, and that they will reap little benefit from attempt to steal a march upon their opponents and upon the people of British Columbia —Inland Senti- Hotel Tulameen The Largest and Most Homelike Hotel in Princeton is now open for the travelling public.

The Liberal platform, as adopted at the Provincial Liberal Convention held Vancouver, is as follows: 1. The immediate redistribution of the constituencies of the province basis of population, but allowing a smaller unit of population per seat for the outlying districts. aership, Dominion, cipal, of publi :s of utilities is sound and should be carried out in British Columbia, 3. Should it be advisable at to grant aid to a railway company such shall be in cash and not in land and no bonus of any kind shall be given without definite and effective means be ng taken to safeguard the interests of the province in the management of the i control of the freight and passenger and provision made against such railway having any liability against it except for actual cost. 4. Immediate construction of the Coast- Kooteuay railway, the Cariboo railway, the extension of the island railway, a lailway from Alberni to a point on the east coast of the island, a road in the northern part of the province from the coast to the eastern boundary with an extension to the northern boundary, the railway from Vernon to Midway by north fork of Kettle river, with necessary branch lines, ferries and connections. 5. The enforcement of the act now in force compelling the scaling of logs by government scalers. 6. That such legislation should be enacted as will result in making the lands included in the various dyk ng areas available for cultivation as quickly as possible and secure prompt payments of assessments when due. 7. That the government should keep in touch with the conditions in connection with mining, protecting said industry against combines and trusts and if necessary for the purpose build and operate smelters and refineries. No reasonable change should be made in the mining laws without full interested, giving full opportunity for discussion and criticism. 8. As the province ca: by the settlement withi thrifty and prosperous i Orientals never become proper sense of the word, to be the duty of the government to discourage Oriental immigration and ployment by every means within power, and we appeal to our fellow Liberals throughout the Dominion in our efforts to protect ourselves against the ruinous competition of men having a standard of decency and comfort immensely below that of civilized people, and who shirk every duty and obligation of citizenship which the law will allow them to escape. 9. The government ought to prevent the waste and suffering caused by strikes and lockouts, and an earnest effort ought to be made to provide some means of preventing such strikes and lockouts, and we approve the adoption of compulsory arbitration. 10. The fiscal system of the province is in need of revision. Taxation should bear upon privilege rather than upon industry, and no addition should be made to the debt of the province except for public works properly chargeable to capital. 11. The retaining of the resources of the province as an asset for the benefi of | the people and taking effective measures to prevent the alienation of the public domain except to actual, bona fide business or industrial purposes, putting an end to the practice of speculation in connection with the same. 12. The construction and maintenance of roads throughout the province to aid in the development of the mining and agricultural districts.
