PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1907. $ 2 a Year, in Advance FAVOES LABOR PARTY. *•" n Other Countries Awakening to the Necessity of Organization Political. Editor Star—Jir : While I am not a voter in this country I would feel it my duty to become one if a genuine Labor party should be organized. It is much the same here as in Uncle Sam's, or "God's," country — the poor man is crowded to the wall and the big trusts and corporations take everything ihey can get their claws on. But for the foreign element in the United States there would have been a Labor party in the field long ago. Wheie there is such a diversity of tongues there is difficulty in getting workingmen united upon a plan of operation. However, as this foreign element becomes educated and assimilated with the good American there will be nothing in the way of organizing a political labor party. There must be a Labor party there to obtain the rights of the working classes or there will have to be another civil war; that is the conclusion of all serious minded men who know the condition the poor man is kept in for the purposes of graft by the corporations. I am pleased to see that in England the bloodless method of obtaining the rights of the laborers is making good progress. The first laboringman has been admitted into the ministerial cabinet of the Liberal party, which must have been a great shock to. the musty aristocracy and the so-called nobility, Then there are more than a dozen Labor members ot Parliament who have shown themselves to be the equal of all comers in debate and legislative ability. In France Labor Is asserting its rights and with the help of other parties is being emancipated from the priests, the capitalists and a non-producing nobility. Germany, Russia and other countries where autocracy and tyrrany prevail are doing little for the bettering of the condition of the laborers, but the seeds of revolution are beginning to sprout there and the downfall of an effete system is not to be long delayed. There are a lot of my compatriots (Americans) . in the Similkameen who would gladly join a labor party but who hesitate to join either of the two big par ties. I hope that immediate steps will be taken to form a Labor party and issue a manifesto to the workers of B. C. Labor is broad enough to include people of all nationalities, it is deep enough to get at the root of oppression aud wrong, it is the only way to oppose the greedy, all- devouring corporations who have a cinch on the old political, parties. Let there be a Labor party in every country, state and province. Yours truly, LABORITE. ^■;\'IedleyTFeb. TTTigoj. CRUISE OF THE NEPTUNE. The Star has received a handsomely bound edition of the report on the Dominion Government expedition to Hudson Bay and the Arctic Island on board the D. G S. Neptune, by A. P. Low, director of the geological survey, and issued from the Dominion Government printing office. The report contains a narrative of the voyage of the D. G. S Neptune, during the seasons 1903 04, to the northern parts ot Hudson bay, and to the northeastern Arctic islands. Following this, under their respective headings, are a short historical account of- earlier explorations and discoveries in northeastern Arctic America; a geographical sketch together with summaries of what is at present known of the inhabitants and geology of the unorganized northeaste n territories of the Dominion; short descriptions of the important whaling and seal ing industries; and opinions as to the possible navigation of Hudson strait and Hudson bay. The edition is profusely illustrated throughout and altogether the publication is highly interesting and instructive. A large map is included showing corrections in the coastline and marks the course followed-by the Neptune. CARD OF THANKS. To the electors who gave me such cordial receptions and to those who gave me their support in the recent political contest in Similkameen riding, I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation. A vote in a good cause, though it does not triumph at the moment, is not thrown away. SMITH CURTIS. Feb. 4th 1907. Several election protests are already in sight. It is understood that the Socialists of Fernie will try to upset the election of Ross, the Conservative candidate, who was only returned by a small majority over their candidate, Moore. In Richmond, J. W. Weart, Liberal, is talking of taking steps to unseat Cotton. Delta Conservatives are planning t'he same move against John Oliver on behalf of their defeated candidate. It is stated that McBride will resign in Dewdney to give place to Manson, who was defeated in Alberni. Eberts, it is said, not Bowser, is slated for Attorney General. Other cities and towns are beginning already to arrange for the coming sporting season, and there is no reason why Princeton should be behind. Baseball, football and other popular games should boom here and rattling good teams got together. The Rev. Mr. Macdonald preached his first sermon in Princeton on Sunday last to a large congregation and made a very favorable impression. AN APPRECIATION. Smith Curtis Fell in Honorable Defeat, but Must Rise Again to Victory. Elsewhere in the Star will he found a card of Ihankj to thoes who by vote and influence supported Smith Curtis in the recent election campaign. His friends ^throughout the whole riding have been more firmly knit to him by 'his manly jfighting qualities and con !uct gen ■ ally throughout a most strenuous campaign- He is a credit to himself, the Liberals and his country and his defeat will be recorded in history as far more glorious .than the victory of his opponent, Mr. Shatford. His friends early realized in the contest that he was up against a hard proposition in campaigning. He had only .three weeks to canvass a laige and sparsely settled riding without a railway. In about that time he travelled some 500 miles with horses-and «leighs in the most inclement wheather and over ever filling roads with snow. He had just returned from the hospital when he was called into the field by convention and night nor day did he spare himself for the cause he espoused. His opponent had all the advantage of familiarity with the voters whom he had canvassed in season and out of season, besides he had men in the public service who were often on the road for political and party purposes. .' Mr. Curtis is one of the few public speakers who commands the individual attention of his hearers from start to finish ofhis speech. He is always in earn est and never descends to drivel. As a fluent easy speaker, he is the equal of the best platform orators in Canada alid as a debater he would be an ornunent to any legislative body. By friend and foe he is the acknowledged superior of Mr. Shat f. rd in everything that goes to make a capable legislator. As a representathe of the Similkameen he wonld, at least, have the respect of all. The fickleness of time and opportunity may }et, sooner than expected, place him as uk m'.er foi some constituency. His defeat here i.- attributed to C. P. R inflinnre and tin- desire of many voters to have a local man even if he were not capable or fair. DEATH OF LADY GRENFELL. Lady Victoria Grenfell, eldest daughter of His Excellency Earl Grey, dided at government house shortly after mid night, on Monday, Feb 4, following an illness of three weeks. She is lie lived to have contracted typhoid fever while tra- vehng with her husband, Captiain A.

Now that the elections are over and we are settling down once more to business, at this particular time of year it will not be amiss to take stock, so to speak, and examine our requirements for the coming season, a season that promises much for tl e whole Similkameen valley and Princeton in particular. Long de- la3red railway communication will be given us, bringing with it cheaper and more satisfactory trausporta tion, making it possible for capital to come in and develop the rich mineral resources at our door. It will lesson the cost of living and put us in direct connection with outside commercial centres. In -short, it is the sine quo non in our development. With the advent of the railway will also come a demand for Princeton coal, not only from British Columbia points, but from across the border, where a large and profitable market awaits it, entailing the employment ofa large number of laborers who will make this town their permanent place of residence, this one industry alone being sufficient to insure the future of Princeton. With labor in derrani, an ideal climate and a most perfect and picturesque townsite, those cesiring a pleasant and profitable place of abode will be induced to settle here. Nature having blessed us with a lavish hand it now becomes the duty of those having their interests here, those desirous of seeing prosperity ofa solid and laating nature smile on us, to join hands and work together with one common end in view—to make Princeton an up-to-date and prosperous city. The initial step in this direction should be :n"f rporation at the propriety of public ownership of waterworks and light systems, especially when they can be installed at comparatively small cost, as is the case here. Let us build up our town 0:1 a proper foundation, and the desir.-d population will come as a matter of course. The question is, is Princeton to occupy the position she is destined to hold ? If she is we must wake up and take hold unitedly and determinedly and work with a will. Neighboring towns will be found only to ready to jump in and snatch what properly belongs to us if we remain in a lethargic condition too long. Our opportunity is at hand, shall we seize it. ? Synopsis of Canadian Homestead Regulations. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The wasp waisted woman will be all the rage in 1907, says Paris advices. This will be a stinging rebuke to the bold young man. earliest poss L n ome-nt, when badly needed i"prevements can be undertaken — rading of streets, building of sidewalks, a proper school, hospital, and the installation of public owned electric light and water works systems, and the rigid enforcement of proper sanitary arrangements, the health of a community being its most desirable asset. There is no question of the Now that Premier McBride has won a decisive victory, we suppose he will lose no time in laying the case of British Columbia at the "foot of the throne." We have a right to expect him to fulfil all his pledges, and as the case for better terms was his strong card, he will surely play it as soon as possible.— Times. Something really original iu labor union methods for carrying on a strike is about to be adopted by the union printers of Chicago, who have had a long standing fight with the Western Methodist Book concern, says an exchange. A series of revival meetings will be inaugurated by the Methodist churches in Chicago, and the union printers have decided to send pickets to the meetings for the purpose of "prajrer and exhortation," in an effort to melt the hearts of the church publishing agents. The "conversion" of the publishing agents, the general good of the union and the reinstatement of locked-out printers will be the main features of tbe supplications, and there will assuredly be a large amount of interest in tbe possible outcome. The plan contemplates one of the most unique innovations in the methods of organized labor that have yet been introduced. It is too serious a proposition to be treated humorously, and yet there may be some who will watch the effort with amusement and curiosity. The idea of using prayer as an instrument to settle labor disputes has not heretofore been tried. Who knows but what this may be the beginning of a plan of campaign that will revolutionize the whole industrial situation? Any available Dominion Lands within the Railway Belt in British Columbia, may be homesteaded by any person who is the sole head of a family, or any male over 18 years of age, to the extent of one- quarter section of 160 acres, more or less. Entry must be made personally at the local land office for the district in which the land is situate. The homesteader is required to perform the conditions connected therewith undei one of the following plans: 1. At least six months' residence upon and cultivation of the land in each year for three years. 2. If the father (or mother, if the tath er is deceased), of the homesteader, resides upon a farm in the vicinity of the land entered for, the requirements as to residence may be satisfied by such per sou residing with the father or mother. 3. If the settler has his permanent residence upon farming land owned by him in the vicinity of his homestead, the re quirements as to residence mav be satisfied by residence upon the said land. Six months' notice in writing should be given to the Commissioner of Dominion Lands at Ottawa of intention to apply for patent. Coal lands may be purchased at $10 per acre for soft coal and $20 for anthracite. Not more than 320 acres can be acquired by one individual or'company. Royalty at the rate of ten cents per ton of 2 000 pounds shall be collected on the gross output. W. W. CORY, Deputy of the Minister of the Interior. N.
