Vol. vii. No. 10J PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, JUNE 2, J906. $2 a Year, in Advance TRIAIT OF "RbBBER Disagreement of Jury Renders, Null First Hearing of Train Bandits. Second Trial in Progress—Prisoners Ably Defended—Edwards is " Old Bill." The trial of the train robbers at Kamloops has attracted a large crowd of the idle curious to the court room every day of the trial besides a number of detectives and witnesses from the United States whose business was to identify the leader of the gang. Judge Irving sat on the bench and twelve attentive jurors listened to the evidence as elicited by crown prosecutor Fulton and A. D. Macintyre, counsel for the prisoners. The brilliant defence put up by lawyer Macintyre-was the best criminal pleading ever heard in •Kamloops and if the.accused did not gain their freedom it was not for lack of an able presentation of their case. After hearing the learned counsel's address on behalf of the prisoners the jury retired but were unable to find a verdict for or against, through disagreement, and were accordingly dismissed. A new trial is now proceeding as the Star goes to press particulars of which must be deferred until next issue. It has been learned since the indictment of the prisoners that the real object of their plunder was a gold brick shipped from the Daly Reduction Co. at Hedley on the day previous to the robbery. Confederates of the trio of robbers apprised them of the shipment of the prick, which was worth about #20,000. but they made the blunder of cutting off the postal for the baggage car where the gold remained undisturbed. The identification of Edwards as the notorious Bill Miner, on whose head are rewards amounting to $ 15,000, has been established beyond all doubt by certain body marks and tattooing. It has been stated in the press that he was a Canadian, but his vernacular, manner and appearance all indicated that he was a southerner, and he had said so himself, if that amounts to anything. As to his socialistic ideas announced by a coast paper, he never openly declared himself to those who met him frequently here, but his actions seem to indicate that he believed in a division of wealth in which "Old Bill" would get rather more than half. He always expressed great antipathy for capital, but here again his actions pointed to an unlawful desire to become a capitalist quickly. He was a sort of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and lived a double life while here. It is evident that there is an organized gang of robbers operating along the C.P.R. having in collusion with them employees of the road who are in a position to give tips, Regarding the serious reflection cast upon Princeton and district by the remarks of a C.P.R. official published in a sensational coast journal that a lot of outlaws and bad men were living in seclusion here under assumed names, there is no foundation for such assertion. Because Edwards made this section his rendezvous since 1904 and his accomplice, Dunn, lived here a few years, no stigma can attach to Princeton or neighborhood. Most mining camps have a following of tough characters but Princeton is singularly free from this element. Edward*?' suavity of manner paved the way to his introduction into the highest society in Princeton and he waltzed and polkaied at social functions as blithely as the most innocent. In this he was not a whit behind Jabe Balfour and 'Billy' Hooley who robbed widows jind orphans by nefarious schemes and ,yet floated around with the aristocracy pf England. The police records of Princeton, if there are any, will show that this is a law-abiding, peace loving and quiet community and any insinua tions to the contrary by a high railway official, whose name is withheld this time, or by any yejlow newspaper, will be promptly denied and disproved. GOT IN ON GROUND FLOOR. Messrs. Wilmot and Featherstone were recent arrivals from Wallace, Idaho, having come to examine mineral interests here. They realize the importance and advantage of being early on the ground to annex a share of nature's gifts. Great as Idaho is in mineral wealth the visitors think the Similkameen will surpass it in variety of resource and industries when it has attained the same stage of development. They are interested in a group of coal claims on which there is an outcrop seam of 15 feet in thickness and on which they will immediately spend money in preparation for shipping. Mr. Featherstone is negotiating for a town site in which St. Paul capital is expected to dominate. Both gentlemen express great faith in this section which they prove by investing in its resources and inviting friends to do likewise. They left on Thursday for Spokane, going via Midway. PARISH MEETING. The annual church meeting of St. Cuthbert's parish was held in the court house on Monday last, Rev. E. R. Bart- lett,minister, in the chair. Dr. Schon and R. Hewat having declined a second term as churchwardens E. Waterman and E. B. Hall were elected as clergyman's and people's wardens, respectively. Messrs. Hewat, Schon, Groves, C. E. Thomas, Lyall and A. E. Jackson were elected sidesmen and also constitute the church committee. Mr. Waterman was appointed-lay delegate to the synod. T0Wfl AND DISTRICT Pertinent Paragraphs Penned for Pensive Perusal by a Penitent. Glorious Rain and Sunshine Makes the Heart of Hodge Rejoice and Enlarge. Paul Laplante arrived yesterday with his family and farming outfit from Col- ville, Wash., and will settle on his land in the Five-Mile district. He states that a number of neighbors and others will shortly follow him here. Crops and pasturage are in fine condition and ranchers and cattlemen are all in the best of spirit. Ben Baker received word from his old tillicum, Van Mills, dated at Cobalt, Ont., where he is in the employ of capitalists buying, mineral properties. Van is an o.d and respected pioneer of Princeton and is keeping in touch with it that he may take advantage ef the golden opportunities which he so well knows are in this district. Snowden Bros, have driven a tunnel on the B.C. Collieries Co's coal property on the western borders of the town and are have exposed a 6-foot seam of excellent coal. Hughie Campbell has received a letter from a relative in France stating that the weather has been very cold, so much so that the Parisians were paid a damaging visit from Jack Frost recently. The Star invites the inhabitants of 'La Belle France' to come to the sunny Similkameen where the climate is salubrious all the year round. Maybe Mr. Campbell could do some immigration woric in gay Paris or induce some French 'dough' to come this way for investment. Tom Hughes has recently built a snug rectory for the Rev. Mr. Bartlett on a lot near the Similkameen along the tunnel route of the V..V. & E. Smith Curtis, ex-M.P.P., is expected to arrive in Princeton shortly on mining business. Robert Stevenson, the veteran prospector and frontiersman, with Messrs. Campbell and Johnson, has been ready for some days with pack outfit to go to the hills but has been delayed by rain. Mr. Stevenson notes a great change in the climate since he came here in the early days. Then the blue vault of hea ven was scarcely ever overcast from May to October, now, the clouds seem never to roll by for any extended time. W. C. McDougall arrived from Vancouver last Saturday. He. is developing the United Empire with energy, which mining men are not slow, to say has the earmarks of a big mine. His Ipersever- ing effort in proving this mineral property to be of undoubted merit is deserving of generous reward. Mr. McDougall states that Vancouver is making great strides in wealth and population and must soon become a large city of vast commercial importance. He is concerned in litigation which called him to Vancouver but was postponed until July. A. Gallinger, of Oshkosh, Wis., will arrive at Otter Flat today and will begin work on the Cousin Jack at once. He will require some practical miners. E. P. Wheeler came in from Concon- nully, Wash., this week and went up to Friday creek. Neil McFadden was summoned to Kamloops to identify his horse supposed to " be in possession of train robbers at the time of their capture. Public worship will be held in the ccurt house Sunday evening at 7:30 Subject : The Christian Soldier ; II Tim , 2: 3 and 4. Sunday school at 2:30 p.m. Rev. D. F. Smith, B.A. PATRIARCH OF THE CHURCH. Rev. Canon Tremayne, of Mitnico, Ont., father of Mrs. W. C. Lyall, arrived in Princeton Wednesday on a visit to his relatives. He has been rector of the church at Mimico for some thirty years and is now journeying in the west on a holiday, visiting his children, grandchildren and great-grand-children in B.C, He was very much impressed with the broad prairies, the sea of mountains and beautiful valleys which he saw the first time. The reverend gentleman admires Princeton and foresees a great future for it when the treasure vaults of rich ore are unlocked with drill and dynamite and the panting steed of commerce whistles at the railway station. From here he will go to the coast, visiting relatives there and on to Metlakahtla and Prince Rupert where his son, Dr. Tremayne, is' practising. TWO MEETINGS. A meeting to take steps toward celebrating Dominion day was held in the board of trade rooms on Wednesday evening, C. E. Thomas in the chair and D. M. Kydd, secretary. Messrs. Summers, Wardle and Campbell were appointed a committee to procure ways and means for sports. The meeting adjourned until Monday evening to receive the report of the committee. At the close of the above meeting another was held to discuss fire brigade matters, in which the site for a building and the assembling of fire apparatus were topics. The hook and ladder cait was ordered to be got in readiness and another ladder procured for emergent occasions, for which further public subscriptions may be required;. fW9pni9!PPf! jTTTTyT. 7—T-7.

Smelting by electricity has been in successful operation in Sweden and France for three or four years and for as many months it has been in use in Canada. The process is of such remarkable economic advantage in smelting iron ores and ;^|he manufacture of steel that it is likely to become universal for those purposes. At Sault Stu. Marie,Ont., electric furnaces of special design •have been installed for the production of pig iron from hematite ore. The experimental stage has been passed in electrical smelting of iron and nickel ores, its adaptability for other ores has not been so thoroughly tested. Canada has boundless stores of iron ore, some of them in the Similkameen, which will make it one of the greatest iron and steel producing countries in the world. '|||p»$«& The increasing scarcity of timber in the older countries has turned the attention of scientists and experimenters to a cheap and better substitute—it has been found in electrically produced steel. The days of wood are numbered, the steel age is dawning. For structural purposes steel has no equal, its only drawback hitherto being the cost of production. Electricity has overcome the high price and another triumph of science is recorded. In the Similkameen there are large deposits of iron ore contiguous to both water power and coal for the generation of electrical energy. Under these conditions more favorable smelting facilities could hardly be found. tive teaching and principles they cherish the doctrine of protection to and beyond the limit—they would prevent expenditure of $30,000,000 in construction of the railway for the mere whim of opposing the Liberal doctrine of free trade in railways. The people of Canada are tired of railway monopoly and welcome competition with enthusiastic joy. Come on Mr. Hill with your railway. The citizens of Princeton are ready with banquet and monument to commemorate the victories over mountains and men of the first railway man of the world. LICENSE 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.

Dated May 2,1906. Canada was never so prosperous as at present. New fields of enterprise are opening up apntinually as the result of a remarkable influx of settlers on the broad plains of the west. Twenty-five years ago the northwest territories were a great lone land with nothing to denote life but the wandering tribes of Indians and the curling smoke from their teepees. Today scenes of great activity may be observed at the railway stations as the great sea of humanity treks to new found homes. Soon Princeton will be caught in the swirl of immigration for now the first low echoes of the iron steed are heard in the circumambient air. In the matter of Matt Evenson. -DECEASED.

The opposition of some Conservative politicians and newspapers to President Hill's railway project to connect Winnipeg with Vancouver via Princeton is so blindly stupid that one wonders if lunacy is not the real cause of it. They wail about the folly and weakness of the Liberal government .for encouraging Mr. Hill to build railways without subsidy or grant. They say his road will divert trade to the United States to the ruin of Canadian railways and they see all manner of evil bogeys cropping out of the proposition. True .to Conserva- It is proposed in the house of commons at Ottawa to make voting compulsory, the penalty for failing to vote, except for reasonable cause, being fixed at disfranchisement for six years. Men who are so indifferent to the rights, privileges and responsibilities of citizenship as to not vote should have some spur to induce them to exercise this important duty. If compulsory education is good for the nation compulsory responsibility should be good also. As a rule those who do not vote are either purchasable or chronic fault-finders. They criticise those who do vote and endeavor to impress persons with their superior wisdom after the battle has been fought. Compulsory voting will lessen the tendency to corruption by removing some, at least; from "off" the fence," Anything that will tend to purify elections is well worth a trial. CERTIFICATE OF THE REGISTRATION OF AN EXTRA-PROVINCIAL COMPANY. "Companies Act, 1897." I HEREBY CERTIFY that the "Holland Gold-Copper Mining Company" has this day been registered as an Extra Provincial Company under the "Companies Act, 1897," to carry out or effect all or any of the objects of the Company to which the legislative authority of the Legislature of British Columbia extends. The head office of the Company is situate at Spokane, Spokane County, State of Washington. The amount of the capital of the Company is one million dollars, divided into one million shares of one dollar each. The head office of the Compan}- in this province is situate at Princeton, and W. C. Lyall, Merchant, whose address is Princeton, is the attorney for the Company. The time of the existence of the Company is fifty years from the 27th day of November, 1905. Given under my hand and seal of office at Victoria, Province of British Columbia, this 23rd day of April, one thousand nine hundred and six. [L.S.] S. Y. WOOTTON, Registrar of Joint Stock Companies. . The objects for which the company has been established and registered are, for the purpose of locating, purchasing, developing! and trading in mining claims containing valuabie mineral deposits, and doing each and every act and thing in anywise connected with, or pertaining to, mining operations. There are some good reasons for believing that the provincial elections will be brought on this fall. A McBride dal% newspaper will soon be started in Nelson, which cannot support one good paper, the News. The Socialists are becoming obstreporous and dictatorial, so much so, that they now demand a seat in the cabinet; and many Conservatives threaten to leave the party altogether if the premier does not cut them out. The Kaien Island and Columbia & Western deals smell louder with age—Rich-. ard's .only hope is early dissolution. ] WARNING - GLANDERS. In districts where the existeuce of Glanders is suspected and especially in neighborhoods where actual outbreaks have occurred the adoption ofsjhe 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. All stables, yards or sheds used for the accommodation of horses or mules should be regularly and frequently cleansed and disinfected in the mannerl prescribed below. 3. After cleansing the premises thoroughly, and burning all debris, the interior 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 j thoroughly treated in a similar manner.

The Similkameen looks - good to him even if the railroad is a little slow making the curves. ]J McCoskery Bros, are making good progress on their big hotel which is now receiving the roof. Some vague rumors have been going around that placer diggings giving $15 to the pan have been discovered on Bear creek. It is well known that in the watershed of the Tulameen and tributaries there has been good money made in former days and there is no doubt some rich ground was overlooked in the rush then. The log drive of the Hedley Lumber -Co. on the Similkameen river is progressing nicely, the water being at a stage which makes it both safe and free of jams. Attention is directed to the adv't of Cook & Co. in this column. D. G. Hackney of Hedley was in town taking in the sports last week. He was in Alberta during the spring noting the marvellous development of that country. But he sees greater possibilities for the Similkameen aud came back fully persuaded that business chances are superior here. He is likely to become a permanent resident of Princeton. Alex. Robinson, deputy minister of education, was in town this week on an official tour of the district. A number of Mormon emigrants from Utah passed through Princeton this week with horses, wagons, farm implements and household effects-on their way to Bulkley valley where they intend to settle. Engineer Amburn has got beyond Ash- nola with the railway survey and will soon be in the canyons of the Similkameen river. Geo. Aldous has recently finished his assessment work on the Lone Star and Red Bird at Aspen Grove both of which are showing up a fine ore body. GOOD RIGS HUNTER'S FEED & LlVERYKiS Thos.

Ah ! the hand that does the pitching Is the hand that rules the world. "Is Wilkins as good as his word?" "Bveiy bit. But I have never heard of his word being good for anything." Solitude is a matter of taste. It has been the subject of much discussion. Volumes have been written in praise or condemnation of it. But perhaps the real value of solitude has never been so subtly aud so accurately expressed-as by - the girl who was asked if she liked being alone. "That depends," she answered sweetly, "on whom I am alone with." A smart young fellow called out to a farmer who was sowing seed in bis field, "Well done, old fellow, you sow ; I reap the fruits." "Maybe you will," said the farmer, "for I'm .sowing hemp." "I'd like that tooth, please," said the small boy, after the dentist had extracted the little torment. "Certainly, my little man. But why do you want it ?" asked the dentist. "Well, sir," responded the gratified boy, "I'm going to take it home and I'm going to stuff it full of sugar. Then I'm going to put it on a plate, and" —with a triumphant grin—"watch it ache." "I didn't know he had a child." "O, yes ; he must have one, and I suppose i'ts at least six months old." "Ah ! You've seen it?" "No, but when I was in his office the other day I asked if he had any ice water, and he said absent-mindedly : 'So him wants a jinky water, does 'ims?" An Arkansas farmer received a j note from a young man who had been attentive to his daughter, and which read as follows : "Dear Sur, Wood like to astyou for yore dorter's hand in marage. Me and she are in luv and i think I nede a wife. Yures, Henry." The farmer grab bed a postal card and immediately wrote "Friend Henry,—You don't knead awife yu nede a spellin buke.
