Prest hauled a lot of saw mill ma chinery from Spence's- Bridge last week [for F. P. Cook's mill on One-Mile. S. St. Onge, formerly of Rossland, but recently-from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, arrived on Wednesday's stage from Hedley.. He is a successful mining man and came to Princeton for the purpose of engaging in business along that line. The reputation of this section had long ago persuaded him that opportunities, for investment here were excellent and now that the railway is building he determined to be .early on the ground and avoid the approaching rush of travel. C. Chrisfield has started his bakery- in the new building ou Harold avenue. J. Swansborough has almost recovered from his recent illness. Revely's stage line required two coaches to handle the traffic on Wednesday. Gus Hewat wae laid off with twenty other miners at the Nickel Plate last Monday and returned to Princeton. Shortage of water is the cause. The earthquake last week is said to have started a smoke out of an extinct volcano south of Princeton. It may have been only hot air from the smelter down below. Work on the brewery is progressing rapidly. Practical Teaching Required to Enable Young Men to Advance Properly. A Resurrection Day is Coming and with it Progressive" Spirits will be Rewarded. ^Concluded from lastvweek.] Editor Star—Sir : As much- thought must be given to a school of .mines as to that of any other. Above all it must be kept, out of politics. A politician would not makea success of a school of mines. All of us who have arrived at the age of maturity realize how much we learned at school that .was useless ; how nmcluthat was. mere theory ; how little that could be applied to the practical side of things and which became obsolete by the time we desired to use what we had learned. Knowledge acquired in the schools of today must foe stripped of much useless verbiage before they can bring out the best that is in a boy and this applies particularly to mining affairs." In this ocoiu pation, as of all others, itihe main thing is to teach a young man tg>,think and observe for himself, not for. somebody else or as some one wants,s.Jiim to think—to be able to draw a correct conclusion from a cold fact as he finds it. A boy must have a love and fitness for his-calling. It is useless to attempt"to make a miner out df^d'boy who wants to be a minister. No school ever did this. You may drive a boy to college but you cannot make him think. Our real education begins after we leave school and the best men never graduate. We learn- that there is a whole lot that is-not in the hooks. A mining school ■ must eliminate theory and be practical to be of any use. There is one school of mines being equipped with every,known process for the extraction of values and in it ores will be actually; treated and paid for. Most of the machinery is supplied by the various manufacturing companies as an advertisement. When a young man leaves this school he. will know how to do something^ because he will see things done while he is reading about them—he will learn to apply his knowledge as he acquires it. In addition to these advantages the railroads of Colorado each year take the students to every mining camp in the state free of charge, that they may see all the great mines and mills in actual operation on an extensive scale. In this way all factors combine to make it the best school in the world from a practical standpoint. The competitive railroad system now being built will, with other outside forces, inaugurate a new era in mining affairs for British Colnmbia. It will tend to lift this whole section out of the fossilized rut that the- Canaaian Pacific railroad has kept it in. Resurrection day is not far off and it now seems possible that the miraculous influences now at work may extend, not only to that road, but to all thedead spirits of the.past that have fostered, its sluggish and obstructive existence and, with the new dawn, let us have a school of mines. Yours truly, J. F. LEI.AND. TOWN BREVITIES. Fire wardens for Princeton have been \ elected in accordance with the terms of / ;the law, and are as follows : J. R. Camp- S bell, C. Willerson and C. O. French. A meeting of the board of trade will be held next Thursday evening to consider, with' other important matters, the necessity for better fire protection and to that end- the formation of a fire brigade Citizens generally are invited to attend and a full attendance of members is requested. Tuesday night the thermometer fell to ) 8 degrees below zero, but next day it was \ delightfully balmy with a slight descent j of the "beautiful." The Confederation Life Association has the thanks of many persons here who have received one of the handsome and handy calendars sent them. ;,)Finlay Fraser, one of Hedley's pro- \ gressive and esteemed citizens, is en- j gaged on the new brewery and will be a j resident here for several months. Ryder & McDermott are down about 25 feet on the big coal shaft they are "sinking for W. C. McDougall near town and have struck the sandstone overlying the coal.. 'jjjipi ■J. Gladden, of Hedley, came in on Wednesday's stage on a combined business and social visit. He received a Marconigram from C. E. Oliver, his partner, now on a visit to the Old Country. It is the- first to be received in the Similkameen ,and contained those old and ever full of meaning words : "Make hay while the sun shines." Lest any of his friends should feel anxious the Star canJsay that Mr. Gladden is ' 'doing nicely, thank you." Pete Marquette and Tink French drove in from Nicola on Thursday. C. Stoess, P.L.S., came up from Keremeos last Saturday where he has been surveying acreage property for fruit growing. He. states that he saw a tree last fall which bore 65 bushels of fine apples, and that it was not phenomenal for that locality. Mr. Stoess returned to Keremeos on Thursday. He much prefers Princeton with its cloak of fleecy white to a certain uncanniness of dull atmosphere and dusty roads at Keremeos. Eventually he will locate at Princeton and make it his permanent address.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. Boards of trade throughout the province are making effort with the beginning of the year to advertise the natural resources of .their particular district on a scale hitherto not excelled by them. The Nelson board of trade has recently gone into the matter thoroughly and it has transpired that the tourist associations have done a great service in conjunction with the various'boards in advertising the country* A big influx of. miners and settlers are expected in the; province this year and every locality will need to be alive to get its share. The Princeton board of trade can do a great service by advertising the advantages of this locality in ever5r possible way. At its next meeting the board will consider a letter from the Vancouver tourist association asking for information of this section. ' Every member ot the board should be present to assist in the matter o@idvertising this section. . The Manitoba Free Press, with its accustomed enterprise and forethought has sent to all its patrons a New. Year memento consisting of a bit of steel, a flint and a piece of 'punk or lightwood. Before matches were invented these were the primi- t.ve implements used in making .fires. They recall to mind an obsolete practice and the booklet accompanying adds a tinge of romance gathered from a Cree legend as to the origin of fire. The Free Press is pumished in Winnipeg, a city cf nearly 100,00,0 souls, which last year had over ten and a half million dollars worth of buildings added to it, not the least'Jimposing business structure being the fine new home of the Free Press. This newspaper is without a peer in the west and is One of the best conducted in Canada. A copy of " Mother Earth's Treasure Vaults," from the well known pen of Percy Godenrath, and is a welcome addition to the .Star's bureau of mineral information. The work is largely historical, interspersed with reminiscences and biographical sketcnfes of jhq-- neers and their day. Some interesting information of the horticul- the province is also given. There is nothing to be desired in the space or beyond what the bcfi3k was designed to be by the author. But, we could wish Mr. Godenrath, with his wealth of resource and versatile talent as writer, would collate his wide knowledge of this province into a work much less ephemeral than the one under review. British Columbia has reached that stage where a history, political, social and descriptive is an urgent need. A standard work of this kind with maps would have ready demand among financiers,-- investors and settlers and could be kept up-to- date by yearly editions. Pictorially and typographically-r^^" Mother ^firth's Treasure Vaults" is perfect and for the small price, 25 cents, ought to run into several editions. • "&£% Replying to the toast of "The Press" Senator Davis of Illinois made some appreciative remarks which are worthy of record and which will find responsive echo among intelligent readers the world over. He said : "During the year every local newspaper gives from 500 to 5000 free lines for the benefit of the community in which it is located. No other agency can do yais. The editor, in proportion to his means, does more for his own town 'than any other man. He ought to be supported ; not because you are friendly with him or admire his writing, but because a local paper is the best investment a community can make. It may not be ca^wded with great thought, but financially it is of more benefit than both preacher and teacher. Today editors do more for less pay than any other class of men on earth. Patronize your home paper, not as a charity, but as an investment." The Daily News of Nelson issued a 20-page;; mining number on New Year's day which contains much valuable information about the mining industry. The Similkameen comes in for extended notice of its great mineral deposits and the whole province is treated in the same exhaustive manner. The News is one of the most progressive newspapers in the interior. The holiday number of the Phoenix Pioneer is always a welcome visitor on every editor's desk. It is an edition de luxe with its fine paper and exquisite letterpress. As a comprehensive publication of Boundary mining it could not well be surpassed. Its handy form and artistic makeup create a favorable impression the moment it is taken in hand. $1 E Special Wi 15 ,,Ry™ Thisi5-jewel""Ryrie" movement is fully guars' anteed and good enough for a solid gold covering.

Charlie Willerson is making an addition to his house, which fact, in itself, is not unusual these growing times, but, taken in conjunction with that other fact that he was seen pushing a dandy baby carriage toward his bachelor home, then suspicion is aroused. Is he thinking of embarking on that sea, ah, he' knows not whither ? But marriage is contagious they say and the esteemed Mr. Willerson may have been infected from seeing a popular young couple now on the shore preparing for a lifelong voyage across the deep, deep sea of wedded happiness. The Star beckons them all to come and may the voyage be calm and happy all the way. Jim and Claude Snowden have got a contract for cutting a half million feet of logs for the A. E.
