VANCOUVER BOARD OF TRADE. Annual Report Neatly Printed and Full of Interesting Hatter. The sixteenth annual report of the Vancouver board of trade is an artistic work of the News-Advertiser presses. The cuts, clear and sharp, give one an idea of the big things in nature and commerce which this young, giant city of the west has within its limits. Vancouver is the western metropolis ofl Canada, as such its great destiny is with, out question. The Similkameen is the right arm of this progressive city, but there is no railway through which to transfuse commercial life between the two the limb is atrophied. An infl tial body like the Vancouver board ofl trade can, and no doubt will, use its best efforts in resuscitating the muscular power of aforesaid limb and thus round out the athletic body of the growing city it represents. The report is full of interesting matter from cover to cover and should be read by every business man in the country, The Organ Fund. In accordance with a paragraph in last week's Star it may now be stated that $28 has been subscribed towards th< organ fund. Of this sum $20 has been paid to Mr. Mason for the organ. With the balance, along with a few more dollars promised, lamps, &c, are to be bought. It may be again stated that the organ will remain undenominational property, and as it is to be placed at the teacher's disposal for school purposes, the school trustees will, at their first meeting, be asked to take charge of it. It is pleasant to know that so widespread an interest has been taken in the matter, and that the fund has been so heartily subscribed to. Another Testimonial. A letter received by F R. Whitwell from W. B. Willoughby, mine broker of Portland, Or., states that he will be here again shortly and that during his b iefl visit a month ago he saw enough ore to convince him that Princeton is destined to be a great mining camp. The samples of ore from here which he exhibited to prominent mining men at Portland elicited much favorable comment. The coal and metal being virtually alongside each other in this mining camp leads Mr. Willoughby to believe it will be the cheapest mine operated and smelter camp in the world.

Goat in Coidwater BLACK DIAMONDS GALORE One of the Most Important Coal Discoveries in the Whole Western Section of British Columbia—Exposed Seam 4 ft* Thick Traced Seven Miles* Mention was made in last week's Star of the great coal field recently dis- rered in the Coldwater basin, within four miles of Nicola Lake. Of the of coal there no one familiar with .the country had any doubt. But it was only a week or two ago that the actual discovery of a high class bitumi' nous coal was made. By referring to the second page of this paper there will be found proof of the fact that there is coal, according to locations made and mo follow, in abundance. The coal is described as a clean, coherent coking very similar to that found in other parts of Nicola district. As fast as development and exploration can be made there will, no doubt, be a corresponding increase in the coal area. Prospectors are looking over some new adjoining territory and there is uo doubt of further strikes being mad< The Nicola district, in which are the Coldwater measures, and the vast Similkameen coal and metalliferous mining region, are contiguous. They contain 1 in variety and quantity of mineral than can be shown on any part of the globe; yet for want of railway transportation it remains untouched. Capital was ready to build the road but the non-capitalized politician burked the project and the c try remains, practically, in the same condition it was prior to man's advent. A Holiday Trip. Miss Whillans, the popular teacher of the Princeton public school, returned on Wednesday last from a visit to relatives near Beaver lake, Alberta, some forty miles south-east of Edmonton. Since leaving here for her holidays Miss Whillans has travelled some three hundred miles by stage route, half that distance by lake steamer and almost a thousand miles by rail. Truly, this is a country of magnificent distances. The whole journey was one of exceptional interest and variety. The rapid changes from grand perspective to beautiful vista, from majestic mountain to lovely valley, were as seen through a kaleidoscope. Perhaps the most interesting part of the journey, the young lady believes, was through the opulent Okanagan. There orchard, meadow and field of glinting grain, the thrifty homes and smiling countenances of the people betokened a soil of great fertility ■a "land of Canaan." The throng of settlers going into the Northwest was never equalled. The overflow of settlers beyond the outstretching railroads is often forty and fifty miles. The hotels are overcrowded and a great t of business prosperity is now sweeping over the country. The crops nost bountiful and the mosquitoes most certainly plentiful, evidences of which Miss Whillans brought back and therefore, very glad to be in picturesque Princeton once again. "It Looks Good to Me." Peter Swanson and Chas. Hansen, iners of Nelson, were in town Tuesday, and became subscribers to the STAR. They arrived from Aspen Grove, where they had been doing assessment work for the past five weeks. On one claim they sunk a shaft 20 feet. One of their cli adjoins the celebrated Portland mine another the Red Bird. They had with them some very peculiar rock which resembled granite subject to vulcanic influence. However, Peter says: "It looks good to me " and he will have it assayed at once confident that it contains good values. Both are enthusiastic over theii properties and believe Aspen Grove to be one of the most promising camps they have seen. Sulphide of Silver Strike. Charlie Connell arrived from Summit creek, about thirty miles up the Tula meen, on Tuesday last. He had beei doing assessment work on his claim there and in doing so he struck a 5-foot lead of sulphide of silver ore which with gold values will average $80 per ton. An open cut of 12 feet is in ore that distance. The Empress on which the strike was made is now ready to ship ore. On the Celtic Chief a tunnel is in 20 feet and a breast of high grade ore has been struck. Mr. Connell has no doubt whatever as to the future of Summit creek, and says: All I ask is a railroad, the ore speaks for itself." CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION. Fairview Convention Characterized by Unity, Amity and Comity. The Conservatives of the Similkameen riding met in convention at Fairview on August 15. There was a large number of delegates in attendance from all parts of the riding. Mr. Coulthard was elected chairman and after stating the object of the meeting and reviewing the political situation, called for nominations. Thos. H. Murphy of Granite creek in a forceful speech nominated L. W. Shatford of Fairview as the standard-bearer of the Liberal- Conservative party, the nomination being seconded by Frank Richter of Keremeos. Mr. Murphy announced to the convention receipt of a letter from H- Nicholson of Camp McKinney withdrawing his name as a candidate and expressing hearty endorsation of the Conservative platform and best wishes for the candidature of Mr. Shatford. There being no other nomination that of Mr. Shatford was put to the convention and"carried unanimously. Mr. Shatford addressed the meeting in a rousing speech and was glad to know the present contest was on party lines, which he believed would give more stable government. The Conservative platform was a businesslike one and as such it would commend itself to the people of this province. He would give his best effort to furthering transportation and carrying out the pledge of the Conservative party to the people of the province. His business interests would have to be sacrificed in entering the political arena but he wonld enter the contest with the determination to carry the riding of Similkameen by all honorable means for McBride aud good government. Mr. Murphy further discussed the transportation question and urged all to work hand in hand for the election of Mr. Shatford. Mr. McDougall, delegate for Olalla, assured the meeting of a walkover for the Conservative candidate there and the delegates from Granite Creek, Princeton, Tulameen, Anarchist Mountain, Camp McKinney and Kettle river reported sim- The convention adjourned after passing the following resolution : That we endorse the present premier of the pro- e, Mr. McBride, and the- platform of the Conservative party.

Political scandals are so common throughout the whole civilized world in these piping days of bitter controversy and party animus that a thoughtful person often wonders what the end will be. Intrigue and corruption have so polluted the very atmosphere of most legislative halls that an honest man will not enter there through fear of contamination. The spirit of unholy rivalry and fierce jealousy between opposing political parties is often outdone in impetuous hatred and gross abuse of each other by members of one party. Today all the machinery for political deviltry is working overtime and at high pressure. From the time of the primary meetings for the election of delegates to the conventions proper and on to the day of election the machine is advocating private, personal and ultra partisan considerations which have the effect of thwarting the purpose of choosing the most popular and capable man as the representative of the party in the election. There are few conventions in which this is not painfully evident. And when the rift is made within the party then all the vituperation, rancor and villification forces its way in torrential tide upon the people and they turn in sickening disgust from the party and its cause. Men having the true welfare of the country and party at heart will never obtrude themselves and their selfish aims to the ejetent of causing disruption of the party. Personal pique denotes a small mind in any sphere of life and those who yield to it should never aspire to anything higher than that of poundkeeper in the public service. When strife and jealousy prompt men to do that which is contrary to the dictates of conscience and reason wisdom flees and chaos reigns. Better do away with conventions altogether if they only serve to disintegrate and resort to the old style of bunching the candidates in a fair field with no favor and let them run as they please. For if the political game is to be played with any honor or deceny it must in its rudimentary stages be free from any EDITORIAL NOTES. Wisely or not, the Star has refrained from any participation in the internecive strife now going on over the result of the Liberal convention a month ago. Indeed, the Star had no hand in its genesis id therefore had little or no reason to become embroiled. In all humility and with all deference to the disputants the suggestion is made that they meet together and talk the matter over, selecting the president of the provincial Liberal association or any other competent person as arbiter, and cease quarrelling like a lot of Kilkenny cats. aspersion of crookedness. The candidate who secures nomination by political magic or jealous alii ances will carry the taint all through his political life. He will not bring to his party that vitality and support which spring from pure motives but will ever be grafting for himself and friends. Laying the foundation of government by party free from all impurity, be it at convention or caucus, must have a wholesome influence on those who are immediately concerned, upon the citizens and the government. Few people are aware of the extent of agricultural land in the vicinity of Princeton. There is a lot of bench land with rich and productive soil which only lacks irrigation. As the method of irrigation by electric force becomes cheaper these lands could all be utilized for agricultural purposes. Already irrigation by electricity is being carried on in B.C. Here the two rs, Similkameen and Tulameen afford unlimited water power. CHURCH NOTICE.

THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR PRINCETON PARAGRAPHS Jas. Haddock of Ashcroft was in town last Saturday buying hides and skins. He is one of the largest exporters in the province and has the reputation of paying the highest prices. Clouds of pretty blackbirds swooped into town early the other morn and went helping themselves to anything they required. In the great economy of nature no doubt a visitation of these feathered innocents is more a blessing than otherwise for they often rid the country of grievous pests. W. C. Lyall, Princeton manager of the A. E. Howse Co., went to Hedley business on Monday last. F. W. Groves, P L.S., left for Bear creek and Summit camps on Monday last to survey for D. Ross. He will be away about ten days. John Dalby was in town this week and went to Hedley on Monday. Chas. Richter and N. Huston went Vancouver via Hope trail and Chilliwack on Monday last. They had a band of forty spanking horses, all in good condition and will, no doubt, get top notch prices for them. G. M. Watt, of Victoria, B.C., came over the trail on a biice and went Hedley and other points down the rivt If anyone doubts the adaptability of the soil and climate here for hop growing let him turn his eyes on the splendid arbors that en wreath the fronts of dwellings about the town. The vines are literally loaded with hops—no irrigation being necessary. The immense possibilities of the Similkameen in fruit, vine and vegetable are but faintly appreciated and scarcely yet discovered. Robert Stevenson went to Keremeos on Tuesday last, returning Friday. Ronald Hewat, of the Jackson hotel, who has been a sufferer from an attack of sciatica for the past fortnight has fully recovered. Not only is Granite creek famed for its auriferous deposits but there is also to be found a most interesting field for the student of petrogaphy or the collector of crystalline and petrified specimens.

May Not Science Prove It Eternal Abode ? In view of the fact that science is ever getting nearer the source of life and as the sun is generally believed to be the great generator of all life it may be es-1 tablished by the aid of science to be the home of that great Eternal Life from which no human being has escaped a longing for at times. The following is from the pen of G. W. Warder in the Booklover's Magazine: " What is the physical geography of the sun? Has it mountains lakes and rivers? Has it trees and shrubs and flowers ? Has it variegated landscapes of I hill, copse and valley ? Has it bending heavens of luminous light and rainbow tints of gorgeous beauty ? Has it peerless cities of smiling grandeur, inhabited ty a noble people of angelic goodness, with all the graces and fascinations of human personalities, with loving hearts, pure lives and joyous, aspiring souls ? I believe it has all of these, and more than I could paint with all the glowing sweep of fancy or the gorgeous flowers of rhetoric. It is like our earth, only more beautiful, more glorious, more divine. I contend, therefore, that the sun is inhabited. There are no waste places in the universe, and nature is ever economic of space and power. Great and brilliant worlds were never made simply t burned up for the benefit of a few little, insignificant worlds like ours. The planets are human hatcheries, and the suns the places of their maturity and perfection. The worlds are God's human and the suns His perennial or chards of eternal life and fruition. I believe that souls are born in this world, that this is their first theatre of action,! and where they take on the habiliments of earth-dust and star-dust, for all things 'riginally came from the sun and will finally return to the sun. The seed that planted here will ripen in the brighter :alms of the sun. In other words the earth and planets are the birthplaces of human souls. They have their origin in the divine miracle of earth life ; they are the product of planetary forces. Man's body is the visible manifestation of invisible atoms and forces, woven around an invisible, spiritual body. And when the visible manifestations drop away into their invisible elements, the soul asserts its eternal energy and soars away to the eternal sources of all light and life."

The Liberal platform, as adopted at Provincial Liberal Convention held at Vancouver, is as follows: immediate redistribution of the constituencies of the province on the basis of population, but allowinga smaller unit of population per seat for the outlying districts. 2. Government ownership, Dominion, provincial and municipal, of public services 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 nc bonus of any kind shall be given without definite and effective means being taken to safeguard the interests of the province in the management of the road, control of the freight and passenger rates and provision made against such railway having any liability against it except for actual cost. 4. Immediate construction of the Coast- Kootenay railway, the Cariboo railway, the extension of the island railway, a tailway 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 brianch 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 dyking eas available for cultivation as quickly possible and secure prompt payments assessments when due. 7. That the government should keep touch with the conditions in conn< on with mining, protecting said indi try 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 notice to all parties interested, giving full opportunity for discussion and criticism. 8. As the province can only adi by the settlement within its borders of thrifty and prosperous citizens, Orientals never become citizens in any proper sense of the word, we declare it to be the duty of the government to di courage Oriental immigration and ei ployment by every means within its power, and we appeal to our fellow Liberals throughout the Dominion to aid in our efforts to protect ourselves against the ruinous competition of men having - standard of decency and comfort ire mensely below that of civilized peoph and who shirk every duty and oblig£ tion 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.
