Beautiful Weather Presages Joyous Christmas—Limited Skating ou CH Similkameen. Last year the S'ar gave the merchants a general write-up at Cfarfstmas which was much appreciated and this year the same will be done Owing to the lack of space it will necessarily be brief, but willbe sufficient to give the riublic an idea, of the good things to be had in the various stores THE BIG STORE T&e-^rE.

A line of solid gold pin-!, lockets, etc., as well as silver and gun-metal watches can be had. It would take up too much space to fully describe all the good things to be had here.

THE BOARD OF TRADE Specfal Meeting to Consider the Resignation of Two Members. Board Decides to Have Banquet and will Invite Hedley Board ta $&•- Coaflaberation. v. A special meeting of the Board of Trade was held on Fiiday night last, and from point of attendance it was one of the most successful ever held. It would seem that the only way to get the citizens to'turn out to these meetings is just to whisper that there is a "row'' in sight, with.prospects of something doing, so to speak, and a full house can be depended on. C. K. Thomas, who was elected presi dent at tlie~last regular meeting, occupied the chair. Mr. Thomas explained the object of the meeting, and ac the same time took occasion to state that he thanked the members for the honor they had done him, but having had the honor on a former occasion, and being unable to properly attend to the duties of the office owing \o busipess reasons, he would request the board to accept his resignation. Several names were proposed, and A# Bell being the only one willing to stand he was elected to fill the position and took the chair. The first business taken up was the resignation of Mr. Wright. Mr. Kennedy moved that it be not accepted explaining at some length the cause, of Mr. Wright s action, and condemned the introduction into the Board of Trade of political, personal, or any other such elements, which if allowed would be the means of defeating the purpose for which it was fprmed- Members feeling that these things were being used against them would righ ly resign, and it was the Board's business to stamp this kind of thing out. Mr. Cook seconded the motion and it was carried The question of holding a banquet was taken up and thp idea seemed to meet with approval, it being decided to "blow in" the entire amount of monev on hand for thisr^purgpse. The date has not yet been decided on. The meeting then adjourned, but not before a hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Hugh Hunter for his public spiritedness in providing for the use of the Board of Trade and other functions of a public, nature an up-, to date gaoline lamp. first started oublication six months ago. ! The publishers should have everv reason I to feel proud of the Xmas Usue, and magazine readers looking for a typical west em monthly, written and7illustrated by- western author: and artists have not far' to go.for such material. In his depart-, ment " Men I Have Met." William Blakt - more, the editor, JjaS a characteristic sketch of Henry M Stanley, the explore;. There is over a score of seasonable stories, articles and poems, and the regular tie partment for the home are well main- taiued. Altogether Vancouver and British Columbia can feel that " Westward Ho " is keeping pace with the times., and a publication worthy of the home city and the province. "WESTWARD HO'" WiLh,X2& p&g.es..pidiiled.-Qn.lieavy qpat- ed paper, tnany excellent illustrations, and a striking cover design in two colors, the December number ofthe " Westward Ho " shows remarkable progress since it HIYD POfLACHT Editor Star—Sir: .Having heard ofthe action of the Board of Trade in voting the last penny in the treasurer's hands for a banquet I was reminded of a spendthrift acquaintance who blew his last bean on an expensive dinner, remarking that if he must starve he would at least have pleasant recollections of one full stomach. The Board, by its reckless expenditure of money for a banquet that has no significance is much in the condition of the spendthrift. Princeton has need of every dollar in the. Board's treasury. There are a dozen ways to spend the money required for a banquet which would be of permanent benefit to the town. A booklet descriptive of Princeton and district, a fire alarm bell, a sidewalk, an elevated gaoline lamp for town lighting, a libraiy, an ad. in a large eastern daily enumerating' the resources of the district, clearing and acquiring ground for games, athletic sports and races, contribution toward lighting, heating arid cleaning the hall in which the Board meets, procuring site for hospital, etc.,- any one of which would be in the line of progress and development. I, with a number of other citizens, seriously hope that the Board will reconsider the banquet scheme and adopt some more progressive project for getting rid of the funds at its disposal. Remember, the eyes of thousands of prospective investors and homeseekers are upon Princeton and its citizens will be weighed either favorably or not by their public acts. Yours truly, PRO BONO PUBLICO. Summers & Wardle, the meat merchants, have the finest turkeys and geese that ever came to town. Leave your order now and be sure of getting one, for they are going fast. * Don't forget that the bean guessing contest at the Big Store closes # on the 24th.

Silence is p-old- en when*.one is not quite >ure whether the trusted leader of one's! wis anvftfcompl ice in the killing of a popular measure or merely an ac-! cessory who passively permitted a treacherous attack on the liberties of the people. If we are correctly informed Mr. Dunsmuir will not be long in office. How long Mr. McBride remains at the head of the government, however, depends on the capacity of the party chieftans to hoodwink the rank and file. For the moment we are more concerned with those long-drawn negotiations at Tokio. It has been announced, and we hope it is true, that Japan .will allow no more emigration to North America. This is very well so far as it goes, but it cannot of itself be sirfficient.

December 18, 1907 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR Late reports from Grand Forks would indicate that there is not much chance of a settlement being affected between the miners union and the Granby people regarding the reduction in the wage scale. The company are willing to open up but will only employ men who are willing to accept the reduction. Word has Oeen received from union headquarters at Denver, Col., stating that the executive board will support the miners to maintain the present scale. There i< a likelihood of trouble at the Nickle Plate mine over the wage proposition, the union miners imt being likely to stand for the cut that is imminent. A turkey shoot has been arranged to take a few days before Xmas. One will also be held on Dec. 31st, and the ladies are invited to participate. U. F.
