No. 29. ^ PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1907. $2 a Year, in Advance INTERVIEWED IN THE "PEN.' Bill Miner, Alias ' Edwards' takes Life Easy and Increases Weight. Biil Miner, alias George Edwards, who was widely known in this section and had" entree to Princeton's best society, was recently visited by Sergt. Wilson, N.W.M.P., at the "pen," New Westminl ster. The Sergt., it will be recollected^ overhauled Bill and his pals in an attempt to escape after their train robbery at Ducks, on the C.P.R. about a year ag> . The old bandit said he was well treated and that all outside engagements were cancelled for the present. The old fellow is employed in the prison brickyard, which seeuis to agree with him. as his "corporosity,'' and consequently his shadow, are increasing while the beautiful summer days go by. With that chivalry and lack of revenge which alwa3"s characterized him he presented his capturer with his fine Luger rifle aud wrote an order therefor to an old friend in Okanagan. "Guess I will sign this 'Edwards'," said Miner as he wrote the order. With all his faults Bill was polite and courteous and never was i known to descend to petty larceny. He played for big game and would scorn to be classed with the 5 cent short change artiste No doubt Bill has repented of his many train robberies, his next holdup will probably be the ferr}' across the river Styx. So long, old man. "Shorty" Dunn, who was also given a life sentence, did not greet the officer so cordially, but was sullen and morose. Colquhoun, the last of the trio of robbers seen by the Sergeant, is a 20 year man and will have a trade when'he exits. SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC. Visit Princeton in an Automobile Presi= dent Hill Greatly Impressed with the Country===To Reach This Point by Next Year* W LOCAL AND GENERAL. Messrs N. Bangs, C. O. French, and A. McAbee arrived in from Spokane on Saturday evening. The extreme heat and somewhat tiresome stage journey from Oroville to Keremeos had the effect of temporarily indisposing Mr. Bangs and necessitated a short lay-over at the latter place. Although greatly improved it will be several days before Mr. Bangs will be enjoying his usual vigorous health. Luke Gibson has rented his ranch to Mr. Sibley, lately from Maine. Luke will spend the most of his time looking after his mining interests. Wm. Brown, of Rock Creek, passed through town last week on his way home from Champion Creek, where he has been doing assessment work on- his claims there. Mr. Brown predicts great things for that camp. There will be a grand pool tournament in the Princeton pool and billiard rooms, commencing on Monday evening next, when lovers of the cue will contest for a handsome meerschaum pipe donated by the proprietors. Louis W. Hill, president of the Great I Notthern Railway, accompanied by Chief Engineer Hogeland, visited Princeton yesterday afternoon, making the' run from Keremeos, to which place they arrived by special train, in an automobile. When word came over the wire from iHedley that the Great Northern piesi ident had arrived there and was on his |Way here in an auto, no little excitement jwas caused, as it was felt that something 'important aud definite would be learned with regard to railway construction to -Princeton, and whether or not it was tbe iatention to proceed with it this fait. Shortly after four o'clock the party ar- j rived, the familiar chug-chug of the motor car sounding good to the ears of those who had deserted civilization for the simpler life in Piiucetou. The railway magnates at once proceeded to the office ofthe Vermillion Forks Co., where they were taken in band by the resident manager, Mr. E. Waterman, and no time was lost in proceeding to the coal mine under development by the townsite company. After a brief inspection, of the mine the party returned to town and pulled up at the Star office. In conversation with the Star representative Mr. Hill stated he was making a tour of inspection of his company's operations in this part of the country, a trip he had planned to make at any earlier date, but owing to. press of business he had found impossible to accomplish sooner. Asked as to his impressions ofthe Similkameen on this his first visit, Mr. Hill said he was surprised and pleased beyond expression at what he had seen, and although he had gained a fair knowledge of the country through the columns of the Star, of which he was a constant reader, he had now no hesita tion in saying that the Star was really too modest in its praise of the country. On being asked the intentions of the railway company respecting construction to Princeton, he stated that .at present it was difficult to say what would be done on this part of the road. The great difficulty they had to contend with was the scarcity of labor and at present it was impossible to secure men enough to meet the demands along the main lines. The recent law suit his road had had with the Harriman people had been the mean:; of tieing their hands and caused the money market to tighten up, preventing the necessary funds being secured for expansion otherwise than what was abr.o lutety necessary. Had it not been for this and the opposition that had to be contended with from the C. P. R., the road would now be in Princeton. Wishing to get a definite answer respecting work from Keremeos to Princeton this fall, the question was put to Mr Hill straight, to which he replied in a perfectly candid manner that we need not look for it this year. He further stated though that the rails would undoubtedly be here within a year. Mr. Hill was asked the truth of the report that Jay P. Graves had bought up a latge block of Crow's Nest coal stock, allying his holdings with the Hill interests, tl ereby securing control of the company, to which he laughingly replied that Graves was talking hot air, and was evidently trying to benefit his credit. I _ It uow being 5 o'clock Mr. Hill touched ^the lever of his flyer and the first auto to race the streets of Princeton was on its Hvay to Hedley. The distinguished party remained there over night, proceeding to Keremeos this morning, where the train was boarded and a start for Vancouver was made, where Mr. Hill goes to inspect operations at that end. Very Pleasant and Enjoyable Time- Library Needs Donations The Sunday School picnic yesterday, from the view ooints of weather, program'^ grounds and refreshments, was an unqualified success. Sports, witnessed by, perhaps, an undemonstrative crowd, were nevertheless, interesting and varied and drew out the muscular abilities of keen competitors. Most noticeable were the achievements of Rhea Murdoch and Ruby McMullen in athletics, while the ladies, all strong runners, have reason to feel proud of the sprinting of Mrs. Godsoe and Mrs. Groves, to whom the race of the swift went. Swings and music were freely enjoyed and left not a moment of unfilled pleasure. The children, the flowers that strew life's pathway, entered into the spirit Of the occasion with much zest, and happy abandon. Expression of hearty thanks by the Sunday School authorities is extended to all who contributed byitheir presence and delicacies to the success of the occasion, also I to those merchants who generously gave prizes and largely reduced prices. The Sunday School library, it is hoped, will be augmented by the attention directed to it now, an appeal to the public for support, and contributions of good literature, being solicited. A. Murchie, photographer, and winner of the men s race, took a snap of the large crowd at tea and has views on sale. The Hon. Edward Dewdney arrived in Princeton last Wednesday on a short visit. Despite his advanced years Mr. Dewdney is as active as a man in the prime of life. It is his intention to visit the Old Country in the fall. Mr. Dewdney was accompanied in by his neice, Miss Elfrida Allison, who is on a visit to her mother. C. C. Tilley, manager of the Pearless Hotel, Oroville, and H. W. Harris, of Lootnis, Wash., were visitors to Princeton last week on a pleasure and business trip. K. G. Hankinson, private secretary to J. H. Kennedy, accompanied by Geo. Masser and A. Logan, business men of Grand Forks, drove up to Princeton on Sunday on a pleasure and business visit. They made a record trip, having left Grand Forks on Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock. They returned home Tuesday morning well pleased with their outing. MINING NOTES. H. H. Claudet, of the firm of Claudet & Wynne, Princeton and Rossland, has recently installed an Elmore plant at the Giant mine near Spillamacheen landing. The plant is of 40 tons capacity with crushers and ball mills. The Guggenheims are having all kinds of trouble in Alaska over a question of right-of-way, and a short time ago a fatal conflict' took place between their men and those ofthe Bruner party, who claim the right-of-way over which the Guggenheims are endeavoring to lay track. Armed men have been stationed at the points commanding the disputed ground and wholesale bloodshed promises unless the authorities take a hand in the matter. J. W. Cook and Arthur W. Jenks, of Portland, Or., who have been looking over E. F. Voigt's property on Copper mountain, left for home Tuesday afternoon. The annual report of the Minister of Mines for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1906, has just been received. It is full of valuable information and is beautifully illustrated, reflecting much credit on the government printing bureau. The following new wage scale has been put into effect in the Rossland mining district: Miners, $4 per day, shovelers $3.25, timbermen $4, shaft men $4.50. ■II — . I IftilMl^fflftW'. ■-.

WILL COPPER PBICES GO DOWN Consumers and producers alike have had unusual interest of late in the probable prices of metallic copper for the last half of 1907. For a month or so past comparatively little copper has been sold to the large consumers, they having placed orders earlier in the year for their needs up to midsummer. With the general shrinkage in securities of all kinds that has been prevalent since March, when the New York stock market went to pieces, there has been a feeling among large consumers of copper that the high prices prevailing for the metal should come down a little, and they have been gradually shading off from 25 and 26 cents per pound to 22 and 23 cents. The metal selling agencies, however, point to the fact that copper production is not keeping up with consumption, and, therefore, there can be no great cut in the prices of the red metal for the present. As there was no considerable demand for the metal for immediate use, the market has been sluggish. Now, however, some of the big •consumers must soon come into the* ■market and get copper for whatever it will cost, to fill contracts they have on hand, and it will be known "'before long which way the market "will go. It is interesting to note, in this connection, that all of the dividend paying copper producers have been holding large cash reserves, and if copper stays at or around 20 cents per pound, to say nothing of a higher figure, they will keep up the present dividend rate, with a continued healthy cash reserve. In other words, double the dividends could have been paid that were actually distributed. Though copper may sag, there is reason to think that it wiil continue at a satisfactory price for some time to come.—Ex. NOTES AUD COMMENTS. If the Hon. Mr. McBride wishes to retain the advantage he gained in London for the Province he will cease to exhibit himself as a politician of a purely partizan type. It is as the Premier of British Columbia, the representative of a Province which includes men of all views and parties, that he is passing through Canada and in that capacity it is in his power to make plain to tbe east the position of this Province on the better terms question. It is most unfortunate that he has chosen instead to make himself slightly ridiculous and to identify himself in the eastern mind, not with the results of his mission to London, but with utterances on the political situation which betray ignorance of, or blindness to, the cold facts of Conservative disorganization.—World. The great Conservative party in the Dominion are evidently in a badly disorgauized condition, if one is to judge by the various articles appearing in Tory newspapers. The present leader of the party, R. L. Bordon, is not looked upon as a sufficienty strong man to lead the shattered Conservative forces to victory and there is a movement on foot to displace him. The great and only George Eulseless Foster* who figured so prominent"}' some time ago in an unsavory way before the insurence commission in the east, has a great longing to pose as Premier of Canada, and he can be trusted to knife Bordon if he found it to his advantage to do so. Mention is made of the Hon. F. W. G. Haultain, ex-Premier of Saskatchewan, as possessing the requisite qalifications for leadership, and last but not least, our own Premier McBride is also mentioned in this connection. The Conservative party are groaning under tbe restraints of prolonged opposition and are becoming desperate for another opportunity to enrich themselves and friends from the public treasury. Not that it is of any moment who is chosen as leader, it will be interesting to note the outcome of this agitation for a more vigorous man to lead the great Conservative party on to victory, or rather defeat, at the not far distant Dominion elections.

C. Heart Strength Heart Strength, or Heart Weakness, means Nerva Strength, or Nerve Weakness—nothing more. Positively, not one weak heart in a hundred is, in itself, actually diseased. It is almost always a hidden tiny little nerve that really is all at fault.' This obscure nerve—the Cardiac, or Heart Nerve —simply needs, and must have, more power, more stability, more controlling, more governing Strength. Without that the Heart must continue to fail, and the stomach and kidneys also have these same controlling nerves. This clearly explains why. as a medicine, Dr. Shoop s Restorative has in the past done so much for weak and ailing Hearts. Dr. shoop first sought the cause of all this painful, palpitating, suffocating heart distress. Dr. Shoop's Restorative—this popular prescription—is alone directed to these weak and wasting nerve centers. It builds: it. strengthens; it offers real, genuine heart help.

The Government, through the Lands and Wor.cs . Department, have called for tenders for a two-roomed school building with accommodation for 80 children, which is to be erected this fall. It was suggested to your trustee.- that.the new school house should not b«. erected on the present school property, but on one of the benches above Vermillion avenue, and that an exchange oi property might be made with the town- site company. Owing to the lack of wa ter on these benches your trustees did not deem it advisable to take any action in the matter.
