Remedy Sought in Railway Legislation—Roard Passes Congratulatory Resolution. TELEPHONE LINE. At the board of trade meeting Thursday night there were in' attendance the following gentlemen : Messrs. Winkler, Groves, McLeod, Faj-ley, Webb, Murdoch, Dodd, Dr. Schon, Cowan and Wright. A long communication from G, Jjyart Baker, of Portland, Org., accompanied by a report of the consulting engineer to the Ladd Metals Co. on the Blanchard & Williams double blast furnace, anrinven- tion for smelting ore with coal, were read. Mr. Baker asked for information! regarding fire clay, water power.) stnelter; "site amFthe" probable sale of seven or ten thousand dollars worth of stock in Prince-; ton. -.;. ... ''[. I -,. ,c: "ir.. Mr. Baker's proposal 1?tc"" establish a smelter here which would use the raw coal so abundant in this section was considered at length. The* interesting discussion on smelters generally and the need for one in this vicinity terminated in the appointment of a committee of three who are empowered to deal with the whole question of a smelter for Princeton arid to furnish Mr. Baker with such information as he desired. The committee will report at next meeting ofc the board. The, attention of the board was directed to the possible hindrance to railway construction arising from surveyed lines of railway being made . for years without serving any purpose but that of keeping a competing line from using" the right-of- way selected. In narrow valleys and mountain passes it was thus possible to impede a railway company which reall> wanted to build. Fictitious charters were a detriment and should be annulled when another line was building. It, was point ed out that legislation was defective and the governments should be memorialized regarding it. Action was deferred until next meeting. The following resolution was placed on the minutes: That this board of trade yiews with pleasure the settlement of all legislation favorably for the V., V. & E. charter and now congratulates, itself that it has learned that contracts have been let for the construction of .that, railway, so that freight will be pulled into Princeton and out of it by the first of May, 1906. At next meeting of the board the subl jects of a mining school, burial ground!/ park and daily mail wjll be introduced. 1 Board adjourned. < Will be Overhauled from End to End -*•<- and Exchanges Installed. Superintendent Stevens of the' telephone line writes the Star as follows: "I notice a, kick has been registered in regard to the. delay in getting exchanges installed and supplying phones promised. I had to wait- until the money required was placed in the estimates. "The whole line'will be overhauled. I am rnshing With all despatch the exchange material to be used. As soon as it arrives work will begin. ;*By waiting until the exchanges arrive itwill obviate the necessity of sending out two.crews, thussaysing hundreds of dollars." GORE FROM NON-COKIRG GOAL. A discovery has been recently made which will have an important bearing upon,the coal of Princeton and district An -English company, after a. series of scientific experiments, has, it is believed,! solved the problem of manufacturing coke from a non-coking coal. Whatever the natural deficiency is can be supplied artificially /and the result is said to be perfectly successful. The 'process is not unlike ■'briquetting," which by the addition of pitch equal to io per cent, produces a coke fully as good as that made iu the ordinary way. The Princeton board of trade should, as a preventative of its becoming comatose and also in the public interest, apply some of its energy in endeavoring to induce coking experiments being made with the coal in this vicinity. COPPERIZED TREES. Bob Donnelly and Con Faircloth have been prospecting between the Pasayton and the Roche rivers, about forty miles southwest of Princeton. They came in from Slate creek, Wash., intending to push on to Princeton and make a stake ,on the railway, which they presumed would be building from the amount of talk they heard about it. However, they are not sorry there is no work- for they will go back and prospect between the rivers mentioned which is the best looking country they ever struck for mirieral. They saw pines near the Pasayton which looked 200 feet high, without a limb for 150 feet more, and as straight as arrows. There is a lot of timbered country and not a few of the trees show copper stain when cut into. This confirms the report of other prospectors who observed this phenomenon in that section last year and exhibited specimens of wood surcharged with the solution. On Roche river copper sulphides in solution exude from the ground. 'Mesdames Rodgers, Coutts andjoyner of Hedley were visitors here Friday. Gus Pouwels and C. Bonniver came down from Roche river yesterday. DIVINING ROD. Man Contracts to Find Ledge with It —Eccentric Movements. The use of the divining rod in the Similkameen is something new in prospect- iug for minerals although in some par.ts of the world it is very ancient not only in the location of minerals but also of water. Usually the rod is Of hazel but the one now being used to locate a ledge of supposedly very rich mineral on the porphyry dyke about 7 miles up the Tuiameen is made of metal. The operator wears the instrument next his skin and when in the immediate vicinity of rich ore it sets up an itching sensation which the bearer is not slow to heed ; its magnetic power also inclines his footsteps to the hidden mineral treasure. Espe|- cially alert and responsive to the skiri teaser is the present manipulator who, it is understood, will receive a bonus of $1500 for locating said ledge. Whatever occult powers it may possess this divining rod ,has at least some mirth producing magic as an incident at Otter Flat, would seem to indicate. A correspond-1 ent describing it says : " WhSt, ho there ! The day of our .prosperity has dawned! Our success is assured ! ThV man. with the divining rod is here. l^.«S*de a tfia" with the machine at OttfS Mat and it came within an ace of doing^pf^e than was expected of -it. The mineralization was so strong that it drew the professor into a deep hole in the river, in which he came very near being drowued. The man was scared and dropped the rod, which sank to the bottom of the river. The spectators thought it was lost, but to the surprise of everyone the ..thing was seen wiggling its way up the opposite bank of the river anQ hustling along toward a mineral mountain in the distance. It took a man on horseback to overtakefit^ So strong was the pull toward that mountain that it had to be tied up to a tree, where it now awaits the hand of the professor tOjbring it under control. "Now that the water is pumped out of the professor and his stomach renovated with some of Dewar's best he will be around again in a few days making old nature open up her treasure chests. It is needless to say that every part of that mineral mountain is located, so there need be no rush until a new strike is made." . Mrs. Lawson returned home to Kelowna on Thursday having been the guest of Mr- and Mrs. Bell for some weeks, during which time her impaired health was much benefitted by the change of climate. Princeton has a long list of persons who have been improved in health by its dry and highly ozonized atmosphere. A raffle netted J. Mcintosh, blind man, $54.50 on Wednesday night. H. Cowan won the watch and generously gave it to Mr. Mcintosh. IT LOOKS LIKE A GO Moving Railway Construction Plant Westward Along the Line. Contracts are Let and Grading May Begin any Time—Officials are Very Reticent. A sensational report in one of the coast papers states that McLean Bros., the owners of the Coast-Kootenay railway charter, have seized a pass in Hope mountains and started work on it with the ob ject of closing out a competing line, is given1,littTe credence here. Travellers and prospectors recently returned from the mountains saw nothing ot the kind. Midway is astir with the arrival of huge railway building plants which contractors are moving westward. Chief Engineer Kennedy was in Prince- td.n this week in consultation with Engineer Baldwin who has charge of the mountain survey west of here. Mr. Kennedy left for Midway where his head office is now. He stated that, contrasts were let as far as Keremeos. W. S. Farley has arrived and will join Engineer Tracy?s staff in the mountains. REMEDY FOR WEED POISONS. At this time of year when so many persons, prospectors, miners, explorers and railway surveyors are in the hills and thus are apt to suffer real agony from poison oak or ivy, the following from Field and Stream will afford relief to those afflicted: "The cure consists in a very simple adherence to two things: Preventing the spreading of the poison and drying it up quickly. Its spread can only be prevented by washing frequently with hot water;, its cure by anointing the affected parts with tincture grindelia, procurable in any drug store, as soon as the skin has been' dried. Every camp outfit should contain a four ounce bottle of grindelia., Its cure is very rapid and it soon stops the almost unbearable itching by which ivy poisoning is first noticed. This remedy is a very old one, but it is not known as well as it should be." E. C. Barnard of the U.S. international boundary survey, arrived in town Wednesday from Loomis. He will be here for two or three weeks in connection with his duties. Mrs. Barnard did not accompany him as last year owing to the ex- cessiy'e heat. W. J. Switzer, of Fernie, has been o- transferred from the bank of Commerce there to the management of the Princeton branch. He is. very favorably impressed with this town and entertains ' high hope of it and the district.

A SMELTER PROPOSITION. The proposition made through the board of trade to the people of this section regarding the establishment of a new style of smelter here ought to receive the attention of every level-headed person. If the proposed smelter is considered of sufficient merit to warrant its trial negotiations should be entered into at an early date to ensure its commencement. Every industry added to Princeton will make firmer its foundation and thus enable it to withstand the onslaughts of those opposing its best interests. With an abundance of first class coal present it would be unusual if there were not some large manufacturing industries here to consume it, but they will not come without the good will, of the residents and ownr ers of the raw material. The great manufacturing districts of the old country and the United States are usually in or adjacent to the coal and ore regions. W.here, in the wide world, are there more favorable conditions- in resources, both of power and material, than at Princeton } Its inhabitants should see, therefore, that no legitimate proposition seeking a. site in their midst was even slightingly treated or in any degree discouraged. Bring on the smelter !. I RAISING THEIR OWN PAY. The increase of pay to members of parliament "andsenators recently voted by the house of commons is another instance of how utterly helpless the people are to protect themselves from raids of this kind when both parties, Liberal and Conservative, unanimously ^decide to raise their wages with out'even consulting their employers. Next session these self same commoners and senators may vote an annuity to themselves for the remainder of their natural lives. They have already done so with the ministers, which is only the beginning ofeh. more indiscriminate assault, upon the treasury by giyingji pension to every member of parliament. There is as much sense or justice in the one as in the other.. . % |p p^ In justification for their recent increased pay members say^that the long sessions prevent thein, attending to their private business affairs. True. But there is no necessity for long sessions. Is the country to be put to all this extra expense because of the unbridled and incessant babble of a few oppositionists who prolong debate from an unquenchable desire to have the last word. Look at Hansard with its interminable columns of words, words, empty words uttered by a detailed coterie of obstructionists. It seems- that the only way to shorten the sessions is by the introduction of cloture. It is done in the imperial house and works like a charm on those members whose one overweening quality is verbosity of the rankest kind. Both the Dominion and Provincial parliaments have now gone the limit with their "indemnity" grabs. Taxpayers will, not submit to any further raids, notwithstanding the collusion of all the politicians in the country to make one at any future time. There is.no use snivelling, as many papers are now doing, over what has been done. Let protection be made against any further raise in legislators' pay, to do which will require special legislation. The member for Yale-Cariboo or any other representative will earn the everlasting gratitude of/a suffering people if, through bis/efforts, legislation will be enacted which will prevent the treasury from being "touched" again-in the manner described. As both parties are equally culpable and responsible for the recent unprecedented increase and gratuities they should also be able to agree on a protective or remedial measure and a certain fixed and immovable sum that could not be tampered with unless by vote of the people only. As the law now stands a house of marauding legislators could vote themselves everything in sight out of the public purse and all the defenceless taxpayer could do would be to grin and bear it.

According to the terms of the Bush Fires Act a fine of j?200 may be imposed for carelessness on the part ot anyone setting out fire and allowing it to run. J„ B. Wood, an old time prospector of Princeton, came in last Saturday from Anaconda after an absence of about two years. He still holds this district in very high estimation and came back to take' in the boom consequent upon railway construction. Wind caused the collapse of a frame building nearing completion at Hedley wherein were two workmen, Messrs. Fraser and O'Brien, both of whom received severe injuries. C. W. Hallamore, manager of the bank of Commerce at Kamloops, and who opened the branch here, left last Sunday for his home at that place. Mrs. Hood of Penticton was a visitor to Princeton this week. Joe Fitzharris was in town from Otter Flat on Thursday and reports a new strike having been made on Bear creek which caused quite a stampede of prospectors. Joe is developing his mineral properties with an almost unlimited resource of muscle and hard work. *His faith and works must result in a certain and bountiful reward. G. R. Philp has a short and to-the- point communication in the Toronto Globe re railway in Nicola. The Star's columns are always open for such communications on any topic. The heaviest thunder and rain storm in the annals of Princeton occurred on Wednesday afternoon. The lightning struck a tree on the townsite and a pelting rain fell for an hour leaving-large "pools before a very thirsty earth could lap it up. The long hot and dry spell made the rain most acceptable and refreshing, especially to farmers and stockmen. E. Waterman and F. B. Hall went to Hope last Saturday over the mountains to meet a brother-in-law of Mr. Water man's and are expected to return today.
