Vol. vi. No. 6. PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1905. $2 a Year, in Advance WANT" IRON HORSE" Railway Committee Meets on Tuesday After which Grading Begins. Contractors are Ready the Only Delay is Legislation—Starting Point the Question. A telegram from Duncan Ross, M.P., states that railway legislation will be on next Tuesday in the house to enable the V.V. & E. to deviate south of international boundary. While he anticipated strong opposition he believed it would pass. When this matter is settled it is hoped the last straw will have been removed and the ever memorable struggle and delay be ended. Midway or Republic will be the starting point, according to legislation afforded. Send along the iron horse ! A prominent Greenwood man in touch with Great Northern officials says that the line from Republic to Oroville would not be built, but that the connection would be made from Midway west to Oroville, taking in Chesaw and Myers creek district en route. The Palmer Mountain Prospector of Loomis, says: "Up in the Similkameen the regular surveying corps is going over the ground in a businesslike manner and laying out a line tor the forthcoming graders. Several reports are current that contracts for construction have been let. That the road is to be built, and built right away, there is no question." A special telegram to the Vancouver World says: The memorable fight against the Corbin railway charter in 1898 is likely to be repeated in connection with the application of the V.V. & E. for certain amendments to the charter, the bill for which has been introduced by D. Ross. Interested parties are getting up opposition. Hill owns the V V. & E- charter and has arranged to build 160 miles of railway from Phoenix to Princeton this year. The line will be continued to the coast and the plans show the entire line from Cascade to Vancouver in Canadian territory, excepting a short portion around Sidley (Anarchist) mountain, where a turn into the States is made to secure a low grade. As there is a strong feeling in parliament in favor of railway completion the legislation asked for is almost sure to pass." L. E. Shields, of Shields & Sims, railroad contractors, who are in charge of most of the railroad building for the Great Northern, left last Saturday for St. Paul to confer with the officials of the road on the building of the V.V. & E. in the Similkameen. He will return to Spokane in a few days when the plans of the company will be made known. STUPID OPPOSITION Amendments to the V.V. & E. Railway Charter to be Stoutly Opposed. Board of Trade Lends its Weight in Strong Resolution to Combat Evil Influences. The inscrutable ways of certain members of parliament and editors should be the subject of psychical research, for, wherein is there either sense or reason in their blind opposition to the construction < f the V.V. and E. through the Similkameen. President Hill offers to build this road without subsidy, without aid of any kind, practically all-Canadian in route and coast terminal, in doing which he asks permission to deviate his line south of the international boundary into Washington to obviate Anarchist mountain, :which is very difficult to overcome. Yet there are members of parliament and editors so mulish as to buck such a rational proposition, even to the hurt or ruin of a great mineral district. It seems superfluous in this enlightened era to send resolutions to a capable and trustworthy representative but he has leagued against him the powers of monopoly and great corporative influence which must be combatted by every legitimate means. A telegram received by A. E. Howse from Duncan Ross, M P., stated that the bill in his care would be warmly contested in committee, upon which information the boards of trade here and at Hedley sent resolutions to the member. An extraordinary meeting of the board of trade was held on Thursday at which the following members were present: Messrs. Cowan, Webb, Thomas, Murdoch, Jackson, Lyall, Summers, Waterman, Hall, Bell and Wright. The special object of the meeting was to introduce a resolution giving expression to the board's earnest desire to reinforce the member for Yale Cariboo in his efforts to secure amendments to the V.V. & E. charter from the railway committee of the house of commons. All the members expressed themselves in strong and unequivocal terms upon the attitude of opposition taken by rival charter owners. The following resolution was adopted and wired to the member for Yale- Cariboo at Ottawa, who has charge of the bill before the committee : "The Princeton board of trade urges upon Duncan Ross, M.P., the necessity of the railway committee granting amendments to the V.V. & E. charter, which will assure the immediate construction of the road. Contractors are all ready to commence building and surveys nearly completed. It' [Continued on page 3.] CHURCH OF ENfiUND Parish Formed and Work Laid Out in Advance of the Railway. Guild Formed by Women Whose Good Works Prove them to Belong to Church Militant. Ven. Archdeacon Pentreath arrived from Vancouver on Saturday and held services morning and pypning in the\ court house and in the afternoon baptized two children. On Monday evening a meeting was held in the board of trade rooms when a Church of England parish was organized, to include the town site, .arTdTobe known as St. Cuthbert's parish —St. Cuthbert was a British bishop of the 7th ceniiixju. Ronald Hewat and Dr. ..Schr^n were elected churchwardens and E. BTTBall and A. Hewat sidesmen. E. Waterman was elected delegate to the synod. The archdeacon announced that a grant had been made for a missionary to serve at present, Princeton and Hedley and the outlying districts, to be supplemented by contributions from the people, and that there was prospect of securing a good man. The parish owns a lot on Tapton ave nue and it is probable a small building will be erected in the near future. The archdeacon has never been here before, his first impressions being very favorable both as to surroundings and people of the town. His sermons were powerful and highly instructive, the large audience following him intently throughout. The venerable gentleman is a gifted singer, his deep, sonorous voice being very effective. He left on Thursday's stage and will return soon after the regular minister arrives. St. Cuthbert's ladies guild in connection with the church was organized on Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Lyall. The archdeacon presided and the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Lyall; secretary, Mrs. Hewat; treasurer, Mrs. Waterman. It was decided to meet fortnightly on Fridays, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the homes of the various members. The present object is to work for the erection of a church. The ladies will take orders for mending and making articles and a supper and dance is contemplated on June 30. Any member will be glad to receive orders for work and during the stirring times of railway construction the guild may be expected to fill many orders in the goodly part it has chosen. Subpoenas have been issued for the court of assize to be held in Kamloops Tuesday, 16th inst, Litigation involving the Olympia mineral property on Copper mountain will be commenced. NICOU ALSO IN LINE The Fiat has Gone to Member to Make Fight for Dear Life. Railway Committee at Ottawa Object of Intense Anxiety for Two Big Railway Corporations. The following resolution from Nicola was sent to the member for Yale-Cariboo at Ottawa as a protest against the opposition to railway legislation now required: "The citizens of Nicola, both Liberals and Conservatives, in mass meeting assembled, urge the immediate necessity of adopting the V.V. & E. amendment introduced by you. This wonderfully rich section depends wholly upon this bill to relieve present stagnation. We want competitive railways and do not fear American competition. It is life or death to us. Make this the fight of your life." The whole Similkameen and Nicola districts are enthusiastic over Hill's approach notwithstanding the efforts of a few insignificant knockers and two pro- monopoly coast newspapers. Jos. Marshall and Geo. Waldschmidt will arrive on today's stage, the latter being accountant for E. Voigt. Bert Bryant, sister and neice arrived from Spokane last Sunday and will permanently reside in Princeton. It is understood Mr. Bryant will conduct the Princeton hotel in future, a transfer of license being applied for. He needs no introduction to the local public as he is well known as a prospector and good citizen for years past. Hewat Bros, have a contract for street levelling from the V.F.M. Co. and also one for filling on which C. E. Thomas wiU erect a warehouse. W. G. Tanner, a prominent mining man from the coast is making examination of this section with a view to investment. He is pleased with the prospects Thos. H. Murphy, Luke Gibson, R. Hewat and C. Schisler, esquires, are gazetted fence viewers for this district. Government agent Murray of Nicola was in town last Saturday on official business. One of the Great Northern contractors recently in Princeton said : "That is a fine country we drove thiough, and I think it is certain a road - will be built at once. The road to Princeton is about 140 or 145 miles long, either way, but I think a little better grade can be had from Republic." Hughie Campbell is in town from Hedley and will camp hereabouts in readiness for the boom. Though well on to the allotted span' he is as frisky as a colt. o mm* THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR May 6, 1905.

THE V.V. & E. BILL. The bill introduced by Duncan Ross, M.P., in the house of commons, recently, to make certain amendments to the V.V. & E. charter held by the Great Northern Co., is likely to meet with strenuous opposition from the McLean Bros., who control a rival charter, known as the "Coast-Kootenay." The Coast-Kootenay scheme has never been taken seriously into consideration inasmuch as its promoters are lightweights in the railway arena and have never given any evidence of their ability to build the railway proposed. They are believed to be mere decoys and as such the railway committee of the house ought not to allow them to hamper bona fide owners of a charter who have given every evidence of their intention to construct the railway. President Hill has made public announcement of his desire to build direct to the coast, choice of two routes being offered west of Princeton, to which point the permanent survey has been made. A reconnaissance of the Similkameen and Tuiameen routes is being made, the latter having preference by explorers generally. For the mere deviation from the all-Canadian route at Anarchist mountain to avoid costly structure and the acquisition of better grades, there can be no sensible reason to withhold legislation which will enable President Hill to accomplish those objects. Every individual and every public body in tbe country not subject to the influence of monopoly will endorse Mr. Ross in his fight to secure the amendments desired. The very fact of a competing line of railway coming to the Similkameen ought to be incentive enough for any legislator who aims at the people's welfare to fight the battle of his life in now overpowering the monopoly masked by the McLean Bros. Mr. Ross will, no doubt, be again the stalwart he has always shown himself to be in matters of this kind and again win a victory for the people. The Vancouver World "believes that the organization of a live mining exchange would do much for the city and for the province and would probably help to make Van couver the recognized centre for Similkameen investors. There is sufficient enterprise in Vancouver to ensure its success if once organized. It but awaits a starter." NOTES AND COMMENTS. There ought to be some remedy speedily applied to the slothful conduct of business in tbe government departments at Victoria. Complaints are continually made of vexatious d lays in the transaction of busir hess with that department. In the issuance of mineral certificates of improvement three months have been known to elapse after all the legal requirements have been complied with before the document was in the hands of the applicant. The mine owner and prospector have enough of unavoidable obstacles in their rugged path without thrusting" the altogether needless one of careless delay before them. Instead of being a positive hindrance to the mine owner and prospector in procuring their titles the government ought by every means accelerate and assist them in at least the mere clerical part it has to perform. The recent exposure as the result of the investigation regarding the disposal of land at Kitamaat, disclosed very lax methods in the Lands and Works department. In fact, so careless was the supervision of the chief and his deputy that a minor official took advantage of it and did departmental business on his own account. If this sort of thing is permitted under the very eye of the government at Victoria what must the discrepancies be in some of the far removed offices in various parts of the province where there is no eye except that of the occasional inspector. In a thousand ways an official may violate his oath of office and make himself injurious to the department he represents—only an investigation can expose all this and it would be well if there were more of them. When the people pay for courteous, honest and efficient service they should have it or know the reason why. There appears to be a misinterpretation of the spirit and letter of the law regarding the publication of legal notices in the local paper. Last fall an applicant for coal lands in this vicinity advertised in a Kamloops paper. There is a possibility of disputed title in regard to these lands, in which case there will be no difficulty in making out a plea of non-compliance with the statutes. The law is so explicit that no one need err. It reads : " And in a newspaper published and circulating in the district wherein the land lies." If anyone would hazard his application by ignoring the law he cannot complain of not being advised. NOTICE.

May 6, 1905 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR HUMOROUS. Daisy—Did Henry kneel when he pro posed to you ? Nelly—No, he made a standingoffer. Mrs. Enpeck—Here, such spelling as those printers do! They have called your shipping clerk, Mr. Brown, your "skipping" \ clerk. Enpeck — Which chanced to be right in this case, for I learned this morning at the office that he had skedaddled with all the money he could get hold of. Look here. "P. Burns" this meat is half bone." "You are mistaken, sir, that is good meat." "Botheration! Do you suppose I don't know bone when I see it ? I say this is bone!" "Yes, cer- tiinly, that's bone. The bone is bone, but the meat isn't. You said the meat was half bone." "There is no resisting that fellow Jones." "What's he up to now?' "Bought bis wife an automobile and coaxed an. insurance company into issuing a policy on her life." Some foxy ones who never work Still make the greatest showing. The rooster never lays an egg, .But still does all the crowing. Smart Lawyer—My boy, do you know the nature of an oath ? Small Urchin— Yessir. Smart Lawyer—You do, eh ? Now, how does it happen that one so young as you knows the nature of an oath ? Small urchin—'Cause we've got a furnace in our house, mister. The elderly maiden had recently in herited a 640-acre farm. Later a young man from an adjoining village appeared upjn the scene. "Will you be my wife?' he asked. "I love you with all an heart.." "For the land's sake!'' ex claimed the giddy old girl. "Mamma," remarked Dorsie, "if I get married when I grow up will I have a husband like papa?" "I suppose so, dear," said mamma. "An' if I don't get married I'll be a old maid, like cousin Caarlotte, won't I ?" 'I guess you will, pat. Why?" "O, nothin'—only I wis' I was a boy !" Auctioneer—This book, gentlemen, which is now offered, is especially valuable, as it contains marginal notes in the handwriting of the great Alexander von Humboldt. A hundred marks offe:ed. Going! going! gone. It is yours, sir." Purchaser eagerly opens the volume. The autograph marginal note by the renowned scholar reads as follows: "This book is not worth the paper it is printed on." Proprietor—How is that new assistant doing? Manager—Excellently. Why, he could sell a box of writing paper to a Synopsis of Regulations Governing the Disposal of Dominion Lands within the Railway Belt in the Province of British Columbia.
