COAST TO KOOTENAY OFFICIAL NEWS Engineers Have Found Route With Easy Grades West of Princeton to the Coast— An Ore and Coal Line. A St. Paul despatch says : It was announced in St. Paul on high official authority that President James J. Hill's engineers have found a satisfactory route from Princeton to the coast and that the Kootenay line he has had in mind for two years will be built. The line will follow the Similkameen to Princeton. The 'difficulty has been in finding low grades west of Princeton. The official statement is as follows : "The line will be an ore and coal line and the grades must be low or Mr. Hill will not build. Such grades have been found. They are lower than those of the Canadian Pacific through Kicking Horse Pass Mr. Hill is now in a position to go after a tremendous amount of Canadian business for which he can afford, after the line is built to make a lower rate than the Canadian Pacific can afford. "It may be interesting^ to state that there will be a kind of revenge in this. The Canadian Pacific once blocked a Kootenay project of Mr. Hill's in the Canadian parliament,0and asked $3,000,- 000 in subsidy and 2,000,000 acres of land. The project partly covered <J;he same line Mr. Hill now intends to build. The building ot this line means that Mr. Hill believes that there is traffic to sup port a line which the Canadian Pacific will not build without enormous subsidy. "lam informed*that the line will.-j^ built within a year or so. The matter as g?am advised, now rests solely with what the decision in the Northern Securities case is. This decision will mean the expenditure of millions in Great Northern construction if it is favorable." The ctatements in this despatch concur with the reports concerning the explorations of the engineering parties sent out by the Dunsmuir government. It is understood that they found a feasible route, involving grades no greater than two per cent, which would certainly offer no great impediment to railroading these days. It is likely something more definite will be heard in the near future in regard .Jto the building of the much needed road. It is again rumored that a newspaggis is to be started at Hedley. Driver Small has had his dislocated shoulder reset at Victoria after injury received some two months ago. THE BOARD OF TRADE LETTERS RE« Miners' Association and Resi= dent Road Superintendent —Damage Caused by Wild Horses on Ranges. At the board of trade meeting on Tuesday evening there was a large attendance and considerable interest manifested in the proceedings. After the minutes were adopted a communication from A. St. G. Hammersley, barrister, Vancouver, re name and constitution of Princeton board of trade was read, also a communication from L. W. Shatford, M.L.A., regarding Copper mountain and the Hedley roads, in which he stated that he had laid the matters referred to him by the board of trade before the government and which would be attended to in due course. He also assured the board that he would look after the interests of the district with proper diligence. The revival of the local branch of the Miner's Association was again discussed with the result that a meeting will be called shortly in its behalf. Consideration of a resident road superintendent ended in action being taken by communication with the representative. The damage done by large numbers of wild horses on the ranges in central portions of the riding and the efforts of the government to get rid of them was sd|scussed along with the establishment of horse breeding stations. It was pointed out that with the great adaptability of climate and grass a much better class of horse than the cayuse could be produced if the proper sires were provided. The ranges were eaten off with a lot of underbred horses when, with a little effort on the part of the Dominion government or the provincial, there could be produced a splendid general purpose breed. It was shown that stations similar to those now in use by the Dominion for the improvement of grain, vegetables, &c, could readily be established and at a far less cost. A resolution in regard to the foregoing also one regarding reciprocity with the TSjhited States will be introduced at the next weekly meeting. The railway petitions now in circulation are meeting with general favor and are being well signed. LOCAL NEWS N0TE& J. A. Schubert of Hedley was recently marriedflo Miss Playfair recently at Vernon.

HOWSE. , THE BOARD OF TRADE. I One of the chief functions of a board of trade is to safeguard the interests of the people. It is limited in its sphere of influence only by the bounds of those interests. Throughout this great empire resolutions favorable or denunciative of legislative acts in far distant portions are frequently made by boards of trade. And all of these institutions exercise a specific influence, far or near, on trade and the conditions which affect it, on everything that affects the commercial welfare and prosperity of the people. If there be at any time danger to any particular interests in any locality it is the duty of the board of trade to ward it off, or if there be any opportunity to promote the interests of the public the medium through which it is generally accomplished is the board of trade. In these days of unions, associations and organizations of various kinds, no locality can afford to be without some organization, municipal or other- . wise, whereby their wants may be forcibly presented to the authorities of state, throughout this and other dis- ^n British Columbia lacking sentative body there have various times and instances es which have been hard to MP^n the misappropriation of Kiblic money, the deviation of roads without good cause and the total lack of them, together with the bad condition of those already in existence. Now, these are some of the wrongs which come within the scope of the board of trade and which, if alive and active, may oe remedied through it. It is impossible for any public organization to make a mistake in asking for the redress of grievances and everyone is' cognizant of the futility of individual or disunited action where l anything of general benefit is required at the hands of the government. There are yet; other features of usefulness in a board of trade and those are in the discussion of practical questions and the light that is \>ften thrown upon them by the least suspected persons, in the development of debative ability and in the broadening influence upon the mind which comes of contact with intelligent and businesslike men. no better school in a man to look at concern him in a pecuniary and personal sense from a broad standpoint. The variety of opinion offered lifts the vail that narrows men's mental perception and he at once sees with widened view that there are other pebbles on the beach. The Princeton board of trade has done and is doing a really good work in advertising the Similkameen in provincial and eastern newspapers. Travellers and others who have visited the district from abroad state that they never heard of the Similkameen except in a very de- No prominent atten- been given it by the and indeed only an occasional outburst from the provincial press drew any attention to it. As with mercantile enterprise so is it with making a country attractive to investor or settler —there must be continuous and systematic advertising and the goods must be as represented. The great north-west territories are an illustration of good advertising, for the country was known years ago but only recently have the teeming thousands begun to pour in and settle there. No resident of the Similkameen doubts its marvellous wealth. If this be generalized truth then the evidences of faith will be followed by works—in helping anything that tends to benefit the district, be it miners' association, board of trade or other organization.

Bullock-Webster is calling for tenders for a large irrigation ditch from Ashnola creek to his upper ranches. This work, when completed will have a far-reaching effect on the condition of the lower Similkameen, as it is first rate fruit land, and will no doubt be subdivided into small holdings and so will be the thin end of the wedge which sooner or later will split up the large individual holdings in this section and make room or opportunity for a large, prosperous and healthy settle ment. Reeidents of the Keremeos aud Similkameen valleys are, as usual, at this season of the year in for a good time. There ^ras a public ball at the large Richter hall on Christmas night and on New Year's night W. C. McDonald, general manager of the Olalla C. & S. Co. invited all the world and his wife to a dance under his hospitable roof. This dance has reached the dignity of an annual affair and those who have once attended are not likely to miss another opportunity. RAILWAY BATTLE. C.F.B. and Hill Before Committee of Parliament. Christmas finds the Canadian Pacific railway and the Vancouver, Westminster & Yukon line renewing their hostility before the railway committee at Ottawa. The present trouble arises over the latter railway crossing the former's tracks at New Westminster. The Canadian Pacific claims that it owns the water front in New Westminster and that the other company is trespassing. The Hill line, which is virtually the V.V.& E., will fight this point with intensity, for its very existence may depend upon the decision on the question. At present the Hill line stops on the south side of New Westminster. When it is finished it will come into Vancouver over the new bridge across the Fraser, which is to be opened shortly, But to do that it is compelled to cross the Canadian Pacific tracks after leaving the bridge. The latter is objecting. If its objection is upheld—which is unlikely—the Hill line could not get into Vancouver at all.
