Vol. vii. No. 7. PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, MAY 12, J906. $2 a Year, in Advance V. t ■ ■ 1 RED PAINT DEPOSITS. '™ red paint deposits about two miles up the Tulameen river from Princeton are proving of real value-to citizens who have occasion to use that color in painting their buildings or any article they may wish to renew or preserve. The •"paint bluffs", as they are called, have an excellent location along the proposed railway 'line which will enhance their value from a shipping standpoint as the paint-(red oxide of iron) could be shovelled into the cars. J. Swansborough has recently used it for floor painting and speaks highly of its qualities for this par- ticu4ar purpose while as a roofing material it withstands the weather satisfactorily. Indians long ago used it for ornamentation of their burial ground figures and statuary, the unfading qualities of the paint being very noticeable. All that is required now is machinery to properly grind and mix the ingredients, the raw mineral is here in abundance for the manufacture of red paint. Princeton is indeed highly favored with the great variety of natural resources in this section which must give rise to important industries in the days of easy transportation now drawing nigh. | BEAR CREEK ROAD. C. F. Law camein from Vancouver last Saturday and has lost no time in beginning wont on the unfinished portion of the road to the Bear creek mines. The government has made quite liberal appropriations for the construction of this load which will be of great service in the development of that rich mineral section. A gang of 22 men are at work on the road and it will be hurried to a finish in time to get in supplies and ma chinery for the Similkameen Mining and Smelting Co. before the season closes. Mr. Law is pleased with the railway out look and expresses a cheery optimism in the future of the whole Similkameen. COMPLAINTS ABOUT FREIGHT. Complaints of a very serious nature , are made with respect to the losses of 7 freight coming over the C.P.R. into the Similkameen. Hardly a consignment arrives which has not been broken into and some of the contents extracted. It would take a detective to locate the guilty ones in their pilfering practices but it is only a matter of time until they are caught, as with all of that class. A band of freight thieves was recently caught at Winnipeg whose operations were successful for some time when they were finally 'run down' and are now doing penal service. As a rule railway, express and steamboat companies, freighters, mail and all common carriers are anxious to deliver everything intact, but it so happens that a bad employee will sometimes cast a shadow of suspicion on the innocent. The police authorities are the best source of remedy. HOLDUP ON THE C.P.R. Robbers Plunder Mail Car at Ducks and Get Away with Swag. Long Dry Spell Broken by Musical Patter of Rain which Makes Ranchers Rejoice. Rev. E. H. Bartlett, Episcopalian, will conduct divine service in the court house tomorrow, at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. He preached last Sunday at Hedley where he has taken residence. County court will be held next Thursday in the court house at 11 ajn. before Judge Clement. The docket is light. Jas. Rennie, brother-in-law of Mrs A. Bell, arrived in Princeton this week on a visit. He was formerly a merchant in Fernie and latterly manager for W. R. Megaw at Vernon. Mr. Rennie is very pleased with the location and prospects of Princeton and these, no doubt, will have much influence in determining his permanent residence here. W. C. McDougall left on last Sunday's stage for Vancouver on legal business and will be absent about two weeks. Chas. DeBarro has bought the Granite creek hotel from Mrs. Alice James and will immediately enter into possession. Jim Snowden and Bob Cramer ran a pack train of supplies up to Friday creek this week for the owners of the Gladstone mine. Yesterday forenoon about two hours' rainfall laid the dust and freshened the parched vegetation. Ranchers had become anxious about crops before the rain. HOLDUP OF V., V. & E. Hedley Protests Against Obstructive Tactics of the Ottawa Lobby. Railway Construction Well Advanced in Earthwork, Rock Tunnels May Delay. (l/ROBBERS HOLD DP TRAIN. Train robbers have again made their unwelcome appearance in B. C. having held up the Imperial Limited on the C.P.R. at Ducks, a station about twenty- five .miles east of Kamloops. While the engine was taking water a robber sprang into the cab with pointed revolver and ordered the driver to pull ahead, the mail coach having been severed from the train and rifled by two other robbers. It is not yet known what the value of the mails amounted to or if any express was stolen. It seems the passengers were not molested. A reward of #11,500 has been offered for the capture of the desperadoes who are believed to have struck- across country for Uncle Sam's land, in doing so they would probably hug the Hope mountains and find a hiding place in the fastnesses of Washington. The robbery was on Tuesday shortly after midnight. Later—Two suspects have been caught at Revelstoke and another is heading toward the Similkameen. A public meeting was held at Hedley recently protesting against any unnecessary delay being allowed by the government in the dispute of right by the C.P.R. for the V., V. & E. to enter Hedley. A message was sent D. Ross, M.P., respectfully notifying him of the sentiment of the meeting. There are many kinds of hold ups on railways these days and the C.P.R. evidently knows how to give and take them. Between Midway and Molson 2000 men are at work on the railway grade. Six miles west of Midway at Myers creek a 200 foot tunnel will be finished early in June and a 900-foot trestle near Midway will be ready for steel about the same time. Two miles beyond Myers creek a 350-foot tunnel is nearly done. The tunnel at Rich bar near Oroville is making slow headway owing to water and the difficulty in getting men to work in'it. From Oroville to Keremeos the grading will be done in six weeks. Tunnels will be the only source of delay to tracklaying and may be overcome by temporary tracks around them. Trappers O'Lynn and Johnson are said to have found a new and low pass through Hope mountains which may yet be of use for railway construction, PLACER MINING PROSPECTS. Several placer leases have been taken on Granite creek recently by parties who expect that gold mining will be very profitable this year owing to anticipated low water resulting .from little snow in the higher altitudes. There are believed to be rich pockets of gold in the famous old creek which can only be reached at unusually low water. If the present dry weather continues during the summer bar mining in all the auriferous streams and rivers will be practicable with the primitive rocker. It would not be surprising if the old gold-mining days were again repeated by stampedes to the various placer grounds hereabouts. D. O. Day and D. M. French are at work on the Jennie Silkman, Copper mountain. Constable Hewat is confined to his bed with symptoms of what may prove a serious illness. Dr. Schon is in attendance and the hope is entertained that prolonged sickness will be averted. PLAY BALL AT HEDLEY. The baseball season opens in the Sim ilkameen tomorrow with a game between Princeton and Hedley clubs which will be 'pulled off' on the grounds of the latter. Princeton team are all husky fellows and keen for ball but they have had little practice and enter on the diamond tomorrow with a heavy handicap in this respect. The team will be picked from the following players : Lnndy, Mac- donell, Campbell, Scott, Broadfoot, Summers, Lyall, Hughes, MeDermott, Ryder and Young. This is the first team to represent Princeton in an outside match of any kind and the result will be eagerly anticipated. When the railroad comes the club will then be able to reach out and tackle Spokane, Portland, Vancouver and possibly some of the intervening smaller towns. The club goes to Hedley with wishes for good luck and victory from citizens generally and the sporting editor ot this valuable paper. LOCAL AND GENERAL. Willarson & Johnson have been at Copper mountain doing assessment work on their mineral claims. The continued dry spell makes it very dangerous to set fires out. A heavy penalty is inflicted for neglect of fire regulations which the provincial police are instructed to carry out. E. F. Voigt and wife have gone to Portland, Ore. on a visit and expect to be away about a month. Work in Voigt's camp is temporarily shut down. Rev. D. F. Smith, B. A., Presbyterian, is expected to arrive soon and take charge of this mission field. An accident, resulting in the death of two miners and probably fatal injuries to a third, occurred at the Nickel Plate mine, Hedley, on Tuesday last. The unfortunate men unknowingly drilled into a charged hole which exploded with the result noted. So far as could be learned the names of the men are Scotty Doran, married; "FrenchJoe," and—Anderson. 'Bert Thomas is at Copper mountain doing assessment work on his mineral properties. J. Spath, of Spokane, arrived in town this week oh his way to Friday creek, where he is interested in the Gladstone. Miners will be employed this summer in the development of the property. J. Biitton has been developing the Speculator, adjoining the United Empire, and has exposed some very fine ore. It is understood a dumping ground has been selected about a mile up the Nicola road. A scavenger will have to be engaged with proper outfit and other requirements of the Health Act gradually introduced until good sanitation prevails. The London Standard has an article on B.C. which the Star will print extracts from in a future issue.

CIRCULAR FROM EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. A circular has been issued by the Hon. F. J. Fulton, minister of education, which should be carefully read and preserved for future reference by parents and others interested in schools. The change from the old school law to the new -was and is the subject of considerable adverse criticism. As with all changes of law and government wherein the cost and responsibility is localized or shifted from the state to the individual there is bound to be disputation and the present effort to improve our educational system is no exception. Much of the criticism is nothing more nor less than the result of prejudice and opposition to change. For economic and successful government the individual man must be made to feel his proportionate share of the burden of education or any other national undertaking. So long as the citizen shirks his duty and makes the government answerable for his own neglect then there will be indifferent results. Under the old system of education in B.C. nepotism and "pull" prevailed in the appointments or in the appropriations—teachers were selected because of their coming from a certain province and not on their merit, while the lion's share of school monies went to the sections having friends at ' court.' The new act is designed to remedy all this and to make for greater efficiency and economy. The Star would urge that a fair trial be given the Act which by modifying as experience is gained, a. really good and workable school law may be evolved from the present somewhat crude Act. First of all a careful study of the Act should be made by every taxpayer, then intelligent consideration is possible. Educational reform is too momentous to be made the plaything of a political party. It is therefore incumbent on every citizen of what: ever political creed he may be to assist the government of the day in working out amendments. Some provision should be made in the reformation entered upon for teaching, at least, the elementary principles of mineralogy. The bountiful distribution of minerals ali over this province makes it a most inviting field for the student and investor. If the youth of the country were taught their use, value and methods of discovery a knowledge helpful in attaining practical results would be gained. The ground work for scientific training in a mining school would thus be laid and the youthful mind awakened to the possibilities of their rich mineral heritage. The circular issued from the education office explains the changes in the School Act made at the recent session of the legislature. The principal features of the amending act, it is pointed out, are in the making up of the assessment roll, changing date of annual meeting, eliminating income from assessable properties, making payment of supplementary grant to teachers monthly instead of half-yearly, and in placing schools in rural municipalities under the control of one municipal board of trustees. New provisions are also introduced to allow residents of localities supporting assisted schools to raise funds either by voluntary contribution or by assessment, to be decided upon by the people at the annual meeting, and for the advancing to rural districts of such portion of the amount to be raised as may be deemed to be immediately necessary. It has been decided to place rural municipalities on practically the same footing as the cities with regard to the management of their schools. The assessment, levy and collection of school rates in rural municipalities is done by the municipal authorities and teachers' salaries and incidental expenses of those schools are paid direct by the municipal council. The control of the schools is in the hands of a local municipal school board consisting of five members. The annual nomination and election of school trustees will be at the same time as the nomination and, election of reeve and councillors. For rural school districts it is now the duty of the assessor to make up the school assessment roll in the first place without receiving a list of the assessable persons from the trustees, and to submit it to the annual meeting, after which the trustees are to return it with corrections and revisions and any necessary additions. The whole of the work of assessing and collecting school rates is done by the provincial'assessors, and the collections are paid over quarterly to the trustees by the minister of finance. The government supplementary grant to teachers' salaries will be payable monthly. Annual meeting will be early in July. The circular will be sent with assessment slips shortly. WARNING - GLANDERS. In districts where the existence of Glanders is suspected and especially in neighborhoods where actual outbreaks have occurred the adoption of the fol lowing precautions by owners of horses and others interested will do much to prevent the spread of the disease and the establishment of fresh centres of infection. 1. Horses or mules having a nasal discharge or other suspicions symptoms should not be admitted to livery or feed stables or yards, blacksmith shops, church or school sheds, railway stock yards, private stables or other places where they are likely to come into direct or indirect contact with animals of the equine species. " 2. Ail stables, yards or sheds used for the accommodation of horses or mules should be regularly and frequently cleansed and disinfected in the manner prescribed below. 3. After cleansing the premises thoroughly, and burning all debris, the in terior should be well gone over with hot steam, or boiling water, adding to the latter at least one quart of crude carbolic acid to each five gallons after which the entire surface should be thickly coated with a hot solution of fresh lime wash, to which crude carbolic acid has been added in the above mentioned proportion. Outbuildings, fences, and tying posts with which infected animals have been in contact, should also, when possible, be thoroughly treated in a similar manner. All ordinary harness and stable utensils which have been in contact with infected animals or infected premises, should be thoroughly soaked in a hot solution of crude carbclic acid of a strength of one part to twenty. Materials which might be injured by the above treatment, such as valuable harness, robes cushions, etc., which have been in contact with infection, should be placed in an air tight room and fumigated with Formaldehyde after which they should be thoroughly cleaned. 4. In stables where outbreaks have occurred or where diseased animals have,- inadvertantly or otherwise, been stabled, even temporarily, the cleansing and disinfection should be especially thorough and in such cases it is safest to remove and burn feed boxes and mangers when of wood : iron^ articles can be rendered harmless by passing them' through fire or by immersing them for some time in boiling water. All litter from suspected animals should be burned or carefully fenced until used. 5. Farmers and others should, whenever possible, avoid admitting strange horses and mules to the premises occupied by their own animals especially of the same species. It is a good plan to reserve an isolated building for outside horses or mules, but where this is impossible they mav be accommodated in cow stables, cattle not being subject to glanders infection. Such horses and mules should be watered from special pails, which, together with all other stable utensils used on or about them, should be carefully cleansed and disinfected before being used for other animals. Stalls occupied by strange horses or mules should be well cleansed and disinfected and, if at all possible, left unoccupied for some time. 6. Where new horses or mules are purchased in or from districts where glanders exists, they should, unless carefully tested with Mallein prior to purchase, be stabled apart and closely watched for some time before being brought in con tact with other animals of the equine species. 7. It must be borne in mind that while nasal discharge, or ulceration, enlarged glands, the presence of farcy buds, unaccountable swelling of the limbs and general unthriftiness, often characterize cases of Glanders, the disease exists in many animals without, for the time being any external manifestation whatever, the only means of detection in such cases being the Mallein test, and that these" occult or latent cases are in some respects the most dangerous because unsuspected. Our experience shows that it is possible for animals of this class to convey infection to others without themselves devel .oping acute symptoms. It is therefore plain that great caution should be exer cired in the purchase or handling of strange horses or mules especially in those districts where the disease has become established. 8. The carcases of animals dying from or slaughtered as being affected with Glanders should, when possible, be burned or, failing this, buried at least six feet beneath the surface. 9. Owners of premises Where outbreaks have been dealt with should bear in mind that Inspectors cannot recommend release from quarantine unless disinfection has been carried out in a satisfactory manner and that compensation for animals slaughtered cannot be.paid until a certificate of cleansing and disinfection has been received by the Minister of Agriculture. 10. Horse owners should have nohesi- tation in reporting to this Department or to its inspectors the existence of actual or suspected cases of Glanders. The disease has been spreading rapidly of late years and it is a matter of public interest that every fresh centre of infection should be discovered and dealt with as promptly as possible. J. G.
