Actions are Suited to Words, which Makes the Railway Problem More Hopeful. From!'many sources there are reports which are confirmative of the general opinion that the Great Northern will build its road into the Similkameen this year and independent of local legislation. Advices received from a gentleman who interviewed President Hill in New York are to the effect that the road will be built, for an "absolute certainty," this year, and that it will be in Princeton this time next year. A report has been in circulation that 100 miles of contract had been let west of Midway, but neither the source nor authenticity of it could be traced. A letter received from the cattle buyer' for P. Purns & Co., a brother of C. B. Harris, states that he will be in the Similkameen this spring to make purchases. His firm provides beef for the Great Northern contractors. The C.P.R. is making active preparations to build from Spence's Bridge to Midway and there is every probability of a race between the two great rivals. HEDLEY POINTERS. Sparklets from this Rich Mining Centre—Sunday Closing1. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Chief of Police Haynes is enforcing the Sunday closing law and drinks are scarce on that day in consequence. The gentleman with a military title who writes the little chunks of think for the Gazette is greatly agitated over the establishment of a school of mines at Princeton. Alljfthe mining magazines and influential papers of Canada favor this school of mines, but now, alas and alack it's all off with this educational institution for the Hedley Gazette says it must not be built. A military man who has been a mining reporter,, a road boss, and is now a justice of the peace, license commissioner and would gladly accept any other office in the gift of the first Conservative government B.C. ever had, seems greatly put out over the change in postmastership at Princeton, but then, what the 'Maj.' says won't do any harm for one can walk outside of that paper's circulation in two minutes and a half. The Hedley Gazette is the greatest newspaper printed between Bradshaw's and the saw mill. It recently stated that A. E. Howse was hobnobbing with So cialists at Victoria. This was not intended that way but meant to convey the idea that he would not associate with the la- boring'class. Old Jack Thibbs, who has resided in the province for 50 years, said, after reading the article, that the "prospectors and'laboring men of the interior never had a better friend than A. E. Howse." Fortunately, this story is confirmed and corroborated. The Napoleonic genius of the Gazette who does most of the thinking for this camp and is not afraid to tell you so, is talking of retrenchment and economy in office. When he was road boss up the West Fork and sat on a rock and watched men working did he believe in economy then ? Thousands of dollars were spent on the roads in that country and the only use made of them was when the 'Major' and his niule went hunting wildcats. Finally he packed his blankets and hit the high places over the road into this camp. What is Beaverdell's gain, is Hedley's loss. The military think artist who did not exactly find the national policy, but failed to put the late Sir John next to his job, says Premier McBride is a profound scholar. If it is true, Dewdney Dick must be running the affairs of this country in one of the dead languages. Garfield Mohr, of Schubert's store, has gone to Enderby. He will not return alone—he will have the stage driver with him. Two Fatal Accidents. A stranger namedQuillan, of Glasgow, Scotland, coming to Princeton had the misfortune to lose his life from falling off a loaded f-eight wagon near P. Mar quette's on the Nicola road. It appears that he, with a fellow traveller, and Johnny Chuckaluck, the Indian teamster, were intoxicated and in coming down grade the unfortunate man lost his seat and fell on his head, dislocating his neck. Inquest was held by coroner Macphail on Wednesday and a verdict in accordance with the facts rendered. The Indian was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and fined $25 for drunkenness by magistrate Murray at Nicola. Another similar fatal accident occurred near Coutlee this week when a klootch- man named Maria fell off a freight wagon and was run over by the wheels, crushing life out at once—particulars are not at hand. Subscribe for the Star and be in the swim. Read the following extract from a letter from one of the largest public libraries in the province : "With the exception of the Colonist, Victoria, the STAR is one of the best read of those published in British Columbia, excepting also the local city papers, which is to be expected." The petition sent to Hedley last week returned with a splendid roll of names thanks to 'Strong Mac' and citizens. FALSE STATEMENTS Mischief Making Editor Wal= lows in Miry Slough of Base Slander. ''Lacks Confirmation," he Says, Yet Gives Scurrilous Report Color of Truth. Oh condition that no future attention will be given to coarse personalities and base insinuations emanating from the Hedley press, the indulgence of Star readers is invited while refutation is made of them and some misleading items. The ignoble motive which prompted the writer of them is very clumsily concealed, while their false and malicious import are as plain as the noonday sun, all of which call for denial and exposure lest the imposture should gain credence with unsuspecting persons. The callow editor of that paper must be a hardened and contemptible sinner when he will attempt to villify and slur not only one person but a whole community of people. Why he should try to disturb the friendly relations which have always existed between the people of Hedley and Princeton by creating sectional animosities can only be accounted for on the score of ignorance and a morbid desire to bring the paper he runs into notoriety. Maddened with a wouhded self-conceit because no one paid but little attention to his twaddle about a mining school, which is being ably advocated by a number of journals, he makes low and deceptive allusion to the manager of the Star. In doing so the underlying sneer flungat So cialists is wholly unwarranted, for they are a body of respectable and conscientious men to belong to whom is as creditable as to unite with any political organization and for whose opinions the ordinary decencies, at least, of every honorable editor are accorded—but, not so with the Hedley paper. The aspersions cast upon the Star manager are made with the evident intention of branding him as a turncoat and holding him up to obloquy and scorn. What are the facts ill Mr. Howse has not wavered in his loyalty to the Liberals by so much as a hairbreadth of which his paper is abundant proof; he was not in Victoria at the opening of the legislature, nor for a week later; he is not on 'extremely good terms' with the socialist members for he is opposed to much of their doctrine, notwithstanding the Hedley paper's false statements to the contrary. Among respectable journalists the man who would waylay the character of unoffending parties is read out of the ranks as a traitor is drummed out of his corps, there to be the object of strong denudations and of scorn. From him the usual courtesies and amenities of Hie newspaper profession are withdrawn. This ostracism may reform the mud-slinging editor for a time but like the incorrigible swine he often returns to his wallow with fiercer attack until the prison door closes hehind him and he is lost to view and memory. A newspaper is a dangerous weapon in the hands of the untutored and conceited, evidence of which is observed in the Hedley effusion. It may in its unchecked career poison the minds of the unwary and malign the characters of others until the whole locality where it is published partakes of the vile odor of its contents and in consequence suffers in reputation. "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread," a more fitting application of which has not been observed in many years of journalistic life on metropolitan and other papers than is to be found with Hedley's yellowish newspaper. The Star will never resort to villi- ficationand slander for those are the weapons of the traducer and backcapperin any walk of life and are not considered argument by sensible men. Regarding . the change in postmaster- ship here it was recommended by the central Liberal Association, there being no organization in Princeton, and wasdue to the M.P's and its initiative solely and to the fact that the late postmaster had served in the Dominion campaign as the agent of the elected member's opponent, and as everyone knows,an agent is selected for his political party leanings and wide influence. The fact that he was agent is attested by the certificate deposited by him with the deputy returning officer and placed in the ballot box on polling day. His removal was for political reasons only and is no reflection whatever upon his trustworthiness or competency, both of which are acknowledged by the P.O. department and the general, public, while as a fellow citizen he is esteemed irrespective of political party. "The sneer at the diminished population of Princeton and the suggested means of adding a few boarders is as a kick at a man when he is down and is cowardly. It is true that Princeton is a wreck as compared with its robust condition of yore. But it is no fault of the people here who have struggled and persevered against hardship and privation and political combination and monopoly. Rather are they to be encouraged than to have the ungenerous remarks of the Hedley man thrown at them. Mr. Shatford, M. P. P., can scarcely hope to have his popularity increased by permitting the conduct of his organ to descend to tactics which are at total variance with the code governing respectable journalism. Finally, the "boiler-plate" editor might, with more profit and edification print some garbled mining report containing long, technical names and then he could pose as an expert. sm THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR March ii, 1905.

IMPKOVEMENT OF ROADS. The petition addressed to the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works and put in circulation by the Board of Trade for the purpose of securing an appropriation from the provincial government to reduce the steeper grades on the main trunk road between Princeton and Hedley and between Princeton and Granite creek is one to which all may well subscribe. When the difficulties and dangers of passenger and freight traffic have been once experienced on this road there can be but one conclusion as to the necessity for immediate remedy. In one or two places the grade is so steep that freighters must regulate the weight of their loads so that they may overcome them, although for the remaining distance of sotre sixty or seventy miles haulage the grades are much lighter and could thus admit of heavier loading were it not for the particularly heavy grades pointed out. It must be obvious to the merest novice in road making that the builders of this road in the first instance gave no heed to grades, the evident intention being to sacrifice safety and easy draft for lesser cost of a higher grade and circuitous route. The days of following deer paths and bridle trails in constructing roads is past. Now, with the aid of a little common sense and a level, direct and even grades are obtained and former mistakes may be rectified. The demands of increased traffie nowadays are such that the old styles of road making are obsolete and discarded. Instead of carrying a road over a bluff or a hill as was done in former days the side cut is made, which renders speed, safety and easy haul capable of being put into effect. With the increase of freighting between Hedley and Princeton, due largely to the demand for coal mined in the latter place, the real need of improved road conditions is very apparent. In fact the 3'oung and struggling life of the coal industry, small though it is, now depends upon shipping facilities. Hedley would gladly take of the coal produced here if the freight rates were reduced. At present it costs about $10 to lay a ton of coal down at that distance of 25 miles but a large reduction would result, no doubt, from levelling the road and minor improvements. The reasonable request of the petitioners having been fully established the next consideration is that of money and the iustice of the demand for it. The same reasons for improvement of the Hedley portion of the road are applicable to that of Granite creek and would tend to lessen freight rates on that route also. The revenue derived by the government from the coal resources of Princeton district, on a low estimate of forty coal claims being held by license and lease, is in the neighborhood of $4,000. These figures are, of course, subject to correction as the only means of ascertaining a correct statement lies with the Department of Lands and Works. For practical purposes the estimate is near enough and affords the government forcible proof of the iustice of the requisition, when from one source alone there is ample revenue in one year to cover the estip mated cost of the improvements. The Commissioner of Lands and Works under advisement of Mr. Shatford, M.P.P. for Similkameen, will, no doubt, recommend the improvements desired and so necessary. NOTES AND COMMENTS. As was mentioned in the Star some time ago, there was only one paper at that time which opposed the establishment of a mining school—that statement has not been disproved notwithstanding the barbaric screeches of the Hedley paper. Like ail dyspeptic laggards in the march of progress its editor sees lions standing in the way and all manner of visionary difficulties because the Star advocates a school and pointed out the merits of Princeton as a location. On the authority of a professor in the Kingston mining school, whose name may be had on application at this office, this town was pronounced an excellent location owing to its central situation in a vast and varied mineral field, but no one but a man on the borders of idiocy could construe the Star articles as urging the establishment of a school here before a railway and its accompanying conveniences arrived. As to cost and comparisons the Hedley scribe's remarks are equally inane with all his suggestions. What analogy is there between the agricultural province of Ontario and the mining province of B.C. as to their need of a mining school ? Students from Kingston and Montreal come in car loads annually at great.cost to study mineral conditions in B.C. How much better to have a school on the spot ? The member for Yale-Cariboo will endeavor to get a Domin- i ion appropriation and this province ought to put up enough cash to make a beginning at least. There is money required for roads, as the Hedley man truly remarks. When was this province in any other condition than that of want of them, yet luxurious parliament buildings costing a million and a half of dollars were erected? Roads were wanted before a mining school was thought of and will be required for a hundred years after it is established, but those reasons are not sufficient to "balk progress and education." If the present government at Victoria will not assist in the establishment of a mining school they ought to give place to better men. NOTICE.
