THE CHRISTMAS TREE HAPPY EVENT Time-Honored, Yet Possessing a Fresh Significance As the Years Roll By. Nothing can detract from Christmas in the great social and historical interest which centers in the word and its occasion. For nineteen hundred years it has been the loadstone which drew men earnest, fond look from the bordi civilization to the old rooftree, or from the crowded city to the rural playground of youth. All have felt the kindly membrance of Christmas in gift or sa tation and it was in perpetuation of its revered memories that on Wednesday evening a Christmas tree entertainment was given by the children of the publi school under the efficient training of the teacher, Miss Moore. Nothing could have excelled the undiluted pleasu which the innocent little ones gave prospector, miner or frontiersman and also the ladies The programi varied with marked discretion by the introduction of adult ability at the end of the children's part. There was som. fine singing and declamation which thi audience appreciated to the full and which were frequently encored. The Christmas tree was laden with all kinds of gifts for old and young. It would be beyond the sphere of newspaper ethics to attempt any criticism 01 comparison where all was so heartily and gratuitously' carried out. However, due recognition of Miss Moore's talent and services in training the children for th< occasion must be recorded ; as director of ceremonies Mr. Bell gave entire satisfaction and Judge Murphy filled all the duties and obligations of Santa Claus with delight to everybody. The free of the hall is to be credited to C. E. Thomas and the many helping and willing hands which contributed to the success of the occasion are all held in thankful regard by the public and the management. After the concert and Xmas tree adjournment was made to the Hotel Tulameen where in supper and dance the partakers filled the bowl of pleasure to the brim. The deft arrangement of the decorations and the plenteous hoard of I dainties on the tables told of woman's inted kindness and good cheer. To Mesdames Waterman,Bell, McMullenand Hewat too much praise cannot be given for their incessant labors and assiduous attentions throughout and all owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Aldous for the use of the commodious Tulameen. Many gentlemen gave liberally of purse and labor toward the success of the event and all are to be congratulated from the least to he greatest for having done so well. TELUNfi THE STORY REPEAT IT O'ER Information As To the Similkameen An Ever Interesting and Profitable Money Theme. Editor Star—Sir: Much has been written about the advantages that will accrue to the railroad company first building and tapping the immense resources of the Similkameen country, the benefits in revenue to be derived by the Dominion and Province at large and more particularly by the increased trade with our coast cities. The Similkameen has advantages any other mining district of like si; B.C., in that it has all the precious metals with an abundance of coal sufficient to reduce or smelt all the ores of the Boundary country and with the compli tion of the coast to Kootenay railway can supply Vancouver and the t< along the line with an excellent s and household coal at a much lower than is possible from any other section in B. C. The projected coast to Kootenay railway will run through the fertile valley of the Fraser to Hope. Then it diverges into the mountains and follows a coi uous line of mining camps to Midway, connecting with other systems to Ross- land, Nelson and the older mining sections of the Kootenays, thereby diverting a large trade now enjoyed by Spokane to Vancouver and Victoria. James J. Hill has asserted on several occasions that if the obstacles are moved (the passing and signing of the Expropriation Bill now before the legislature) he will commence building the V.V. & E. at once. Why retard development longer? Particularly at this time when our brainy representatives are seeking an honest way of liquidating the liabilities of buncoed province. I hope that while the government is engaged in the grinding problem of taxing an overtaxed and neglected district someone may call theii attention to Jas. J. Hill's proposition anc the possibilities of the Similkameen. J. H. Jackson. Princeton, Dec. 24. A dance in the town hall at Olalla was given recently in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Tylee. who are leaving for New York. There was a large attendance from all parts of the Similkameen, several ladies and gentlemen from Hedley being in attendance. The function is said to have been a most enjoyable one. Some correspondence of a political character is crowded out of this issue. BOARD OF TRADE. An Experimental Horse-Breeding Station—Member's Visit. At the meeting of the board of trade Tuesday evening it was agreed that an early visit from Mr. Shatford, M.L.A., would be of mutual benefit Mr. Shatford promised an early yisit to Princeton prior to election and the occasion could not be more opportune than now and the board of trade will be pleased to receive Judge Murphy addressed the board on the necessity of having a resident road superintendent for the riding. The suggestion as well as the sentiment was approved by the board and official representation to the member of the legislature in that regard will be made. The desirability of publishing a weekly resume of the resources of the Similkameen in a coast newspaper was discussed and the conclusion arrived at that it would be eminently proper in view of the fact that there was a continuous flow of inquiries regarding the Similkameen from all parts of the tvorld. The board will discu's the matter of a provincial horse breeding station at some good point for the purpose of fostering the production of horses suitable for military purposes. The shortage of cavalry horses in the last war has led up to the consideration of means to remedy the deficiency at some future time. Arrangements are being made by a committee of citizens to give a grand ball! and social at Hotel Jackson on New Years' eve. Invitations will issue. It is understood that R. A. Brown has. sold the Volcanic three miles from Grand Forks. Details are not at hand.

There will always be some to-decry even board of trade but they are mere specks 1 the driving-wheels of progress. __—-^ __] THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR December 26, 1903 The Similkameen Star Published Weekly at — Princeton, B.

The ever revolving wheels of time have almost completed another year and standing on the verge of the New Year with one hand put to the brow as a shield against the dazzling rays of the future, the other one is waved in a glad farewell to the receding year. For who could wish to recall time except in amending embrace, or who would tread the past again except in fleeting memory. Man with his irrepressible desire to march on, press forward, cannot wait on the flagging heels of time, so he pushes on into the unexplored future. Peer- into the great beyond as far as his narrowed vision will permit he strains every muscle for the impending effort. The pioneers of the Similkameen heaved many a long sigh as they saw outstretched before them a great destiny for this great country. They said: It may not come in my day, nevertheless here is a land of incalculable resources, of infinite possibilities. The early pioneer with his limited perspective stood just where the tenderfoot now stands. He can see, it may be, afar off the toiling mass of humanity that this country must inevitably support with its great mineral resources. He can see in the dim future it may be the great works of industry which must spring up as an outgrowth of .great natural wealth. There is not a man in the entire Similkameen today, no matter how dyspeptic or pessimistic he may be but what he can see the great natural wealth referred to— it is as tangible as the hill or valley on which one treads. Thus it is that so far as human foresight will avail, the New Year is entered upon with a buoyancy of hope and optimism of faith which enables men to do things and accomplish that which under other circumstances would be failure. The coming year is pregnant with unusual prospect of industrial activity. The railway, over which there has been some gentle sleep lost in recent years, has now assumed a phase of actuality that enables one to predict within 'measurable distance' the! snort of the iron horse. Railways are built now-a-days very much on the lines that the ancients went to war—the conjunction of planets or the pleasure of the gods. To all appearances the coast is clear and the gods of finance have been reconciled. The C.P.R. knows that its policy of obstruction has run the death limit and that public sentiment will no longer be outraged— the G.N.R. has never taken its wistful eye oft the Similkameen, but until there was a conjunction of the political planets at Ottawa or Victoria the railway was not possible. The residents of the Similkameen have a duty to perform in connection with the railway and that is they must not let the smoldering embers of public sentiment die. Without public opinion to back an enterprise, be it financial or industrial, there is not that ele- ent which inspires confidence and vigor. So the citizens of the Similkameen should all sign the railway petition and fan the flame of enthusiasm until there will be thing heard but the ring of steel and the thud of hammer in railway construction. To all readers of the Star the rery best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year are cordially extended. From the Atlantic to the Pacific and in fatherland the Star reaches a host who have set their hearts upon the great Similkameen by investment and observation—to them the glad news will be outflashed as occasion presents, of the wondrous resources of the Sim- lkameen—to them will be humbly jiven the word of encouragement and advice as truth alone may dictate.

THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR December 26, 1903 LIBERAL GOVEENMENT. Ontario Is An Example For British Columbia to Follow. Anyone who casts bis eye over the British share market in a London newspaper will search in vain for the name of Ontario. He will find the name of every Other British colony or province there, and those of most of the civilized countries of the world1, but he will not find Ontario. And the reason is because On- arket I ■ gone i the world's of the tional debt. The relation between it and the resources of the country which has contracted it generally fixes the standing. of that country in the world's scale. The "dying" nations, such as Turkey and Spain, are continually in financial deep water. The debilitated nations, such as those of South America, usually have a few of the war vessels of other powers lying in their harbors as a gentlemanly hint that payments are disgracefully overdue, The standing of nations may, therefore, be fairly stated as'bearing a fixed proportion between indebtedness and ability to meet it. Judged by thi3 standard, Ontario would stand at the; head of the communities of the world. Nor is this the only respect in which her financial status is unique. In the .states,of tlie American -Union-, for example, not only are the people familiar with the municipal tax-gatherer, but with the I State tax-gatherer as well. In New York ' state, for example, they will be still more familiar with the latter in the years to come, for it has just been decided to enlarge the capacity of the state canals at an estimated cost of $101,000,000, and if this estimate is not greatly exceeded it will be a remarkable public work. In Ontario the provincial tax-gatherer is an unknown officer. The only thing resembling.taxation in Ontario is the revenue derived from liquor licenses, from the inheritances of very rich men, and;a small percentage levied on the wealth of financial and transportation companies. The great bulk of the revenue is derived from the public lands of the province. A poll tax is something unheard of. It is in their dealing with this great estate that the Liberal governments deserve the gratitude, uot only of the people of today but also of those who will succeed them. Here is an immensely valuable public property, from which since confederation #37,000,000 has been obtained,and which will continue to yield 'its annual harvest if managed in the same far seeing and thrifty way for the benefit of the people as a whole and not for a few. There was every temptation to extravagance. With an elastic source of revenue ail-that was required was to put up a few more timber berths every year and there would have been rich pickings for everybody. That the affairs of the province have- been j conducted with almost parsimonious frugality is the glory of the Liberal administrations of this province.-Toronto Globe.

The financial statement of Canada for the four months of the fiscal year to the end of October shows the revenue to have been $23,735,7I5> and the expenditure $9,227,919. The receipts are two millions better than last year while the expenditure shows a reduction of two m llions besides. The capital outlay is $1,226,- 760, less than half that for the corresponding period in 1900. Canada's trade figures for the five months of the present fiscal year—to the end of November—show an aggregate trade of $221,000,000 or nearly $24,000,000 more than the same period last year.

International Goal Company. The International Coal Co., which is -regarded as a sister company to the Gran- by mines, is evidently going to do business on the same magnificent scale in the .coal camps as it is now doing in the copper camps. A. C. Flummerfelt who holds a prominent position in both companies, recently returned from the east, where he went to place an order for machinery for the International Coal Company. The order was for a plant sufficient to handle an initial production oi two thousand tons a day. The cost of the order is close on to $150,000. The contract for the supply of the entire electrical equipment, including motors, generators and electric locomotives has been awarded to the Westinghouse Elec trical and Manufacturing Co. of Pittsburg. The contracts covered by the $150,000 include the erection of the first battery of 104 coke ovens. Work these will be commenced as soon weather permits. Mr. Flummerfelt s£ We have aimed at installing only the latest and most improved quality of ma- ■ chinery and other equipment.
