Vol. vii. No. 8. PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1906. $2 a Year, in Advance JOBBERS RUN DOWN Banditti Nabbed Near Quilchena, Nicola, Now itw<s oC/J m Every Road, Trail and Pass Bristled with Men Tinder Arms, Made Escape Improbable. The sequel to the train robbery of last week at Ducks may be told in a few sentences and without any pretence of sensationalism. More than usual interest for citizens of Princeton attaches to the robbery from the fact that at least two of the suspected robbers captured are known to nearly everybody in this section. The third man arrested has not 'been fully identified, but he is also be lieved to be a resident near Princeton. Immediately after .the robbery constables and specials were sent to the scene of the holdup who later were reinforced by detectives, Indian trackers and a posse of Northwest mounted police with bloodhounds. The pursuers were not long in striking a hot trail and for four days and nights kept the robbers dodging through a country of difficult passes and many hiding places. Nearing Douglas lake the fleeing bandits were first sighted by Constable Fernie who left their trail and went to Quilchena for assistance. Having abandoned their horses the robbers were not long in being overhauled by the mounted police. When halted Grell, alias Dunn, emptied his revolver at the police without effect and in return was shot in the leg. The others did not resist. Escorted to Quilchena two of the robbers, Dunn and Edwards were readily identified by parties who knew them. Geo-. W. Edwards, the leader of the gang, is widely known in Princeton, having been a resident for about two years on Jack Budd's ranch, four miles from town. His acquaintance with Budd dates from Texan schooldays. There was nothing in his social life here to indicate that he was a bad man, although there are those who, since his arrest, with possibly keener perceptions than average, find outcroppings in his character which, they say, point t» a well defined lead of villainy. Edwards had none of the swagger, 'blow' or bluff of the would-be desperado or tough ; in conversation he was pleasant and of considerable polish of manner. He never made any gun play although he always carried a brace of shooters, a common thing with men on the frontier. Tall and straight, grizzled with more than 50 years of border life, he looked a typical veteran soldier so often met in the states. Whatever Edwards' career may have been there is a certain mysterious halo about it which would give rise to suspicion that something was 'wrong. Suddenly he would drop out of sight and reappear. He always carried a well filled purse and this in spite of the fact that he never worked and had no visible means of a livelihood. A man would not require to be a Sherlock Holmes to scent mischief in one whose tenor of living did not accord with the pursuits of an upright man. In the last analysis of him it will probably be found that he has been implicated in other train and stage robberies as the methods are identical in both the Ducks "and Mission holdups with those in the southern states and Mexico where Edwards lived before coming to the secluded Similkameen. In any case he was not a miserable, petty, 10-cent thief whom the law is slow to appiehend. Many here would be pleased if he could prove an alibi, on the other hand, if he be guilty no one would lift a finger td stay the course of justice. As it now looks Edwards will in all probability end his declining days behind the prison bars. JohnGrell, aliasBilly Dunn, unlike Edwards, was known here by two names. He has been in Cariboo and the Similkameen for some years and followed trapping, prospecting and broncho-busting. He kriew this country like a book and was able to guide parties to the most remote corners of it- He came originally from onei of the western states. Nothing authentic is known of his early career. He is an expert shot and must have been rattled when the police corralled the trio. Dunn is a short, swarthy man with a trace of Indian blood in his veins and would likely be a pliant tool in the hands of a designing person. The above described men are known to be on familiar terms with each other, their last appearance together is said to have been about a month ago, when they borrowed horses and left for Aspen Grove. Their trial will be held in Kamloops. TRAIN AT COUTLEE. It is reported that the C.P.R. will deliver freight over the new branch with present terminus at Coutlee on Monday next. Already a train of railway officials and other notables has arrived there to inspect the line preparatory to its permanent operation. Ballasting the road is now proceeding with vigor and the finishing touches to bridges is being given. A large party of gentlemen drove from Coutlee to Nicola on arrival of the train, many of whom will invest in this beautiful townsite and build homes. Nicola, like Princeton, has been a long time patiently waiting for the turn of the tide the first ripples of which are now apparent. SIMISSED VALLEYS Similkameen and Okanagan have Excellent Climate and Soil. Old Country Writer Recommends this Province to Intending Settler and Investor. Major Anderson, V., V. & E. right-of- way agent, is in town and is negotiating with land owners along the route up the Tulameen. Right-of-way is now bought as far as Allison. The following extracts from one of a series of articles appearing in the London (Eng.) Standard gives the old country view of colonial conditions and prospects and extols British Columbia as a field for intending emigrants : "The youth or man who contemplates a colonial life, and is possessed of ^"1000 or more, has before him a very bright and hopeful prospect; a better prospect, from the practical standpoint than three times the capital can buy him in Eng land. But, as in most other affairs of life, there are pitfalls to be avoided. Everyone who has had any experience of our great colonies has met with glaring examples of the pitfalls. The writer has seen young men in both hemispheres attired more gloriously than Solomon, and employed for the most part in order ing and paying for liquid refreshment for bar loafers. Having asked as to the why and wherefore of the presence at large of these misguided youths he has been told, with a shrug of the shoulder that they were "getting colonial experience." "The province of British Columbia is in point of distance more remote from the old country than any other part of Canada. But that means no more than a longer stretch of time spent on the railway in getting there and Canadian trains are made for living in as well as sitting in. That wonderful Pacific breeze—the Chinook—makes a fertile garden of this province and blesses its people with a climate which is as near perfection in very many places as the heart of man can desire. It is the kindly, invigorating temperateness of the Pacific airs which render winter, in the Okanagan valley, for instance, even more enjoyable than the bright, long summer. "It is admitted upon all hands that mining in British Columbia is an industry as yet in swaddling clothes. Miners are the best buyers in the world where farm produce is concerned. A mining community in B.C. is one which earns very high wages, never touch the earth for purposes of cultivation, and insist on having a plentiful variety of every kind of food. The intending settler on the land in B.C. need have no fears as to markets for his produce, even if he takes no account of the fact that some of the finest and highest-priced fruit placed on the English market last year reached us [ from the sun-bathed heart of the B.C. lake valleys. The last decade has fully demonstrated the fact that such valleys as the Okanagan and the Similkameen contain the most favorably disposed fruitgrowing locations in North America." 0TTEE VALLEY IN BEIEF. J. Thynne, of Otter valley, was in town last Saturday and reports prospects bright in that section. The crops are growing nicely and the recent rainfall gave them a spurt which will add much' to the harvest tonnage. Mr. Thynne has been in the valley some sixteen years and has watched its growth and development with keen interest. Besides having a fine, productive and well stocked ranch he is largely interested in mining and is one of the first owners of the Cousin Jack on Boulder creek, which is now being developed by a company ; recent assays from it giving $20 in gold. He is also owner ot high grade mineral claims on Bear creek, near the Similkameen Mining and Smelting Co*s valua: ble property. The whole of Otter valley will put on a garb of prosperity with the welcome toot of the iron horse reverberating throughout the hills of minerals and the green vales. Those who have proved their confidence in it by persevering endeavor must share in the good fortune which is dawning. TRAINS SOON RUNNING. A semi-official statement is made that trains will be running out of Midway as far as Oroville by the first of July. The grade is in such forward state that i. is possible to make the announcement with certainty. Every effort is being made to procure more laborers, 5000 being re-- quired immediately to cover new work all along the V., V. & E. East of Cloverdale camps are being constructed and contracts are let as far as Sumas. This portion of the road is easy to construct and no serious engineering difficulties are met until Hope mountains are reached. Construction from the west will be pushed with vigor and the rails will follow the graders closely. Wm. Murray of Nicola was in Princeton Wednesday last returning on Thursday. L. Thomson has been engaged as manager of Cook & Co's business at Princeton. Rev. E. D. Smith arrived in Princeton last Saturday and went to Hedley on Sunday, where he preached his first sermon in the Similkameen. He will make Princeton his headquarters. Services will be held tomorrow in the court house at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. A baseball game has been arranged to take place on the 24th, next Thursday, at Princeton between Hedley and Princeton clubs- ff^^f^W^^-Wlt!>#^JilP^^^^ -v^.*^ V.-V-^C#^ H:, ;!y,;*^ff?'^j^...V-^ PPW^PfP*W!!flS b' _..■■ ■y.-,;.,,--^ r-,.CT THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR May 19, 1906 May 19, 1906 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR The Similkameen Star Published Weekly at PRINCETON, B.C. —BY— The Princeton Publishing Co.

HYDROELECTRIC POWER. The growing demand for electric and water power in mining, milling, smelting, lighting and manufacturing purposes is causing inquiries to be made for available water'power as a generating force. In recent years great strides have been made in harnessing rivers, streams and falls with the cheapest power yet known: Hydro-electric power has been a leading factor in the successful treatment of low grade ores and is still a stimulus to the discovery and production of that class of ores. In the Similkameen, where it is difficult to find a piece of rock not mineralized, nature has placed cheap power alongside of cheap ores, thus compensating for deficiency in values. And the day is soon coming when all the ores, high and low grade, in this district will be treated with the cheap hydro-electric power which abounds everywhere and only re quires capital to instal the necessary machinery for its application to the production of metals. In a recent article in the Star which was copied in the Spokane Review a serious error occurred in giving the average fall of the Similkameen and Tulameen rivers west of Princeton. It was there stated that the average was "20 feet" when it should have been 40 feet. The latter figures would give a head of ioo feet in 2^ miles of distance, a force sufficient for all ordinary purposes. No accurate figures are available for the volume" of water in either of the. rivers, which has been variously estimated at from 2000 to 5000 miner's inches. INVITES THE KING TO CANADA. The house of commons at Ottawa recently sent an address to King Edward inviting him, accompanied by Queen Alexandra, to visit Canada at as early a date as may be agreeable to them. Should their majesties consent the occasion would undoubtedly be marked by demonstrations from the Atlantic to the Pacific of loyalty and delight for the privilege of seeing them face to face. King Edward has won a place in the hearts of all his subjects by being one of the people himself; entering into their re joicings with a heartiness which has made him very popular, and joining in'their sorrows with a true sympathy which has made him beloved. He has been a kingly king and a manly man. The son of an illustrious mother, who had not an enemy in the wide world, and whose humble piety attributed all of Britain's greatness to the Bible, he has followed in her footsteps by making his throne one of righteous rule. His visit to Canada would tend to knit more closely together the British, French and other foreign races now rapidly peopling this country while the political effect would be felt in lessening any barriers to commercial union with the motherland. If the Star may be permitted to suggest, the visit of His Majesty should be extended to the other great dominions beyond the seas which form a part of the vast empire on which the sun never sets, thus welding into a compact whole the scattered colonies. The experiment is well worth trying. The King is tactful, a born peacemaker and the greatest diplomat of the day. He could well pave the way to an united empire with one central parliament. The British constitution is more elastic and democratic than that of the United States in that it permits the head of the nation to leave his country and go abroad. HCENSE NOTICE. Take notice that I, Mrs. Alice James of. the Granite Cieekhotel, intend to make application to the License Commissioners for Nicola district for permission to transfer her hotel license of the said hotel at Granite Creek to Chas. DeBarro> MRS. ALICE JAMES. Dated Granite Creek, May 10,1906. IN THE SUPREME COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The recent train robbery at Ducks and the capture of the bandits has shown how favorable the lay of the country is for hiding refugees. Innumerable passes and trails would puzzle the best detective to follow a fleeing criminal. In view of this 'every town in the interior should be provided with at least a pair of bloodhounds for tracking felons. The hounds are not ferocious as a rule. Their keen scent has often been the means of recovering stolen cattle and horses and in southern slavery days were very effective in tracking fugitive slaves. The Mining Standard says that the Nelson Daily News is protesting against the lack of support accorded the paper by the business interests of the town. The expense of operation is great, and the profit realized is little—if any. The News is about to suspend because editor Deane has been giving his time, talent and money for the benefit of a non-enterprising, dead-in- the-shell community, which has not the decency to recognize his effort. A knocker is a sour-faced vine- gar-souled detriment to the human race. He is a gap in the building, a hole in the ^wall, a crevice in the foundation. Be a builder. Do something. Be somebody. Don't knock. In the matter of Matt Evenson. DECEASED.

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 suspicio >s 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 tbey are likely to come into direct or indirect contact with animals of the equine species. 2. All 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. ■ Advertise in the Stan G.

The groundkeeper skirmished for aome and finding none came out with a number of packages under his arm. He handed Chesbro a package of puffed rice. The pitcher rubbed the ball in it and struck out the batter. "Here's another package," the groundkeeper said, tossing over one. This time it wa*? fretted wheat. Chesbro used a package of breakfast food . with every ball until he had consumed all the samples of breakfast foods which the groundkeeper had collected during the winter. "I think that puffed rice and fretted wheat are superior to sawdust" said Chesbro when he finished his game. NOTICE.
