Vol. X. No. 14. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1909. $2 a Year in Advance COPPER LIKE STEEL Lost Art of Tempering Red Metal Rediscovered by Halifax Man. Hade Razor with Keenest Cutting Qualities and Blocks Harder Than Iron. It is again reported that the art of tem pering copper, known to the ancients of bygone ages and since lost, has .been rediscovered. If it turns out to be a fact the price and demand of copper will soar to great heights. However, the reserve of the red metal in Princeton district will meet any extraordinary demand that could possibly be made. It will be the aim of the Star to furnish the latest developments in connection with copper tempering with a view to inducing the inventor to establish works in Princeton district where copper may be said to literally grow. Following is the dispatch going the rounds regarding the discovery: " Halifax. N.S., March 26—A Halifax founder is said to have discovered the lost art of tempering copper and is about to promote a company to make further experiments along this line. He claims he has the correct process. He has hardened a piece of copper and made a razor with an edge keener .than the best steel would take. Blocks of copper have been tempered that are harder to file than iron. Not only has Mr. Douglas, the inventor, been successful in tempering cok-; per, but he has also made a casting of copper and lead that will stand many times the pressure that the ordinary roller bearing castings will stand." ,»^VWV*»i*V*VV**AA**A**'VV"t an XIS Will Soon Come and In e, ht Sto no OBI Bill:" these are the reasons I heard/for the general sympathy with Miner. Bill Miner is, or was, certainly at the nead ot his profession; above tbe burglars and highwaymen, and far above the average run of millionaires and politicians. I suppose there are some millionaires who really earned their money by honest, useful work, but most of them got their money without earning it any mpre than Bill did his. They are cleverer theives than Bill, because they do L their stealing under forms of law, but they have not his courage. I once read in a Book: "Rob not the poor because he is poor; for God shall spoil the soul of those that spoil them." The author of this advice was a milhn- aire himself, Out his ideas are about three thousand years behind the times Robbing the poor, by stockjobbing, patent menicines or political graft is the easiest, quickest and surest way of getting rich, and you can always square things with the pnblic by endowing some colleges, hospitals or libraries. I would rather be Bill Miner, and buy candy for the girls. Still, I think Bill Miner did wrong, because he lived without working. This is contrary not only to the Bible ('Six days shalt thou labor' and 'He that will not work, neither let him eat') but also to the law of nature, which gives no one a living except in return for work done. I cannot see that any idler has a right to live. . Also, his method is rash and unscientific. If he had gone to Parliament (he would have represented us more honestly and more ably than some M.P.'s I have known) and looted the railway and express companies by process of law, he would have been recognized as a great statesman, a benefactor to his country. Instead, he is a fugitive from the law, which is arranged to catch small rogues and let big ones go. Socialist. SAW MANY LANDS. A. E. Howse arrived on last week's stage from Nicola and expects to return tomorrow. It is a year iince he was here in which time he observes marked changes and improvements. Of course he has unbounded faith in Princeton and contiguous country, his many investments affording indisputable proof of that. It is not unlikely that he will reside here permanently, so inviting is the outlook from business, scenic, social and climatic standpoints, in any case he would be a welcome addition to the progressive element of the community in shaping the destiny of this section and in laying the foundation of the town on a sure and safe basis. Nearly a year's travel in many lands has convinced Mr. Howse that the west is the country for investment and home making. In the older, crowded countries opportunity is lacking, while here it. waits at every man's door. In his reminiscences of travel there is much to edify and amuse and with the completion of his proposed world-encircling tour it is hoped his observations and recollections may take permanency in the form of a book. Of all the peoples he met'he considers the British much superior and Englishwomen superlative. Live well and die happy—the A. F. Howse Co. keeps everything for life sustenance—in the vegetable line try their potatoes and carrofs. * LOCAL AND GENERAL Two Serious Accidents, One Caused by Careless Use of Powder. People Passing to and fro and Cur rent Events of the Day Here and There. C. Schisler had a runaway accident last week while driving down the hill leading from his place. None of the family occupants were seriously injured although all were rudely shaken. The Ladies' Aid will meet at the manse on Thursday at 3 p.m. Dr., Mrs. Whillans and Mr. Hincks of Hedley, were in town Sunday. No sign of street or sidewalk improvements and our taxes still go to 'help out' some more favored part of the country. The V.F.M. Co., alone, pay some #400 in taxes annually and would, no doubt, be glad to work a portion of it out in sidewalks and street grading. Board of Trade meeting next Monday night at 8 o'clock, p.m., in the court house. A full attendance requested. Wtn. Allison's boy has made excellent recovery from a fractured thigh reduced by Dr. Schon several weeks ago. E. F. Vpigt has uncovered some very fine looking ore on Copper Mountain samples of which will be on exhibition at the A.-Y.-P. Gus Johnson had the misfortune to dislocate his shoulder oh Sunday which was quickly attended to and the patient is now doing well. HOPE WAGON ROAD. Dv^fartu Govefirment Pledged to Construct and Will Build Portion This Year. Editor Star—Sir: You can see in the newspapers that I have put up a good fight for the Hope-Similkameen wagon road, which we are sure to get. The government has promised to make a survey early this spring and the road will be built as far as Summit camp this season and next year the remainder of the road will be buiit to Otter Flat. As you are aware it is 24 miles from Hope to Summit camp, aud 30 miles from there to Otter Flat, where junction is made with a good wagon road leading to Nicola via Aspen Grove and to Princeton, 18 miles distant. The total distance from Hope to Princeton by this route is thus 72 miles. This distance is a trifle more than that of the old Hope-Princeton trail via Hope summit, which was measured by Jas. Hyslop, C.E., and found to be just 71 y% miles. It was supposed to be only 65 miles in length until measured. I had a large petition signed by the people of Chilliwack and Vancouver. The city council and mayor and the municipal council and reeve of Chilliwack signed it, and the council of the city of New Westminster and mayor signed it. The city council and' mayor of Vancouver endorsed the petition, so also the board ot trade and the tourist association. All were strongly in favor of the road being built from Hope to Otter Flat on the Tulameen river. A delegation waited on the government in Victoria and a promise made that we would get the road built. So, you will see, Mr. Editor, I have been working hard for our good country, the very best part of all British Columbia. I have not got any stronger since leaving Princeton ; still very weak. My kindest wishes I send to all my old* friends in the Similkameen. Hope to be back there early in May. Yours truly, Robert Stevenson. Vancouver, March 25, 1909. BLOWN DP BY BLAST. Last Wednesday an Austrian who does the explosive work on railway construction in town, was caught with a premature blast and seriously injured. It is a miracle he was not instantly killed, for he is a mass of contusions and wounds. Two teeth aud some jawbone were carried away and the face and eyes filled with rock, earth and gravel. Dr. Schon gave the unfortunate man emergent medical attention and then sent him to Hedley hospital, where Dr. Whillans, railway physician, will have him in care. As with nearly all similar accidents carelessness.is at the bottom. The young man, who is popular among his comrades, has not had much experience with powder and the result is a serious accident that must confine him for some considerable time. GBANITE CBEEK CRICKLETS. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Onr courteous and esteemed fellow citizen who attends the post office returned last week from Princeton wearing a very broad smile and is now getting a new dress suit made. We hope some Princeton lady will soon take up her residence in Granite. As there are quite a few bachelors in Granite, Princeton ladies had better get busy, as I see the Salvation Army is importing marriageable lassies. Frank Mansfield paid us a visit on Tuesday, also Vic Ryder. From hints dropped by Mr. Ryder he intends to soon bring one more to add . to the population of Princeton. Welldo has begun to put on her spring clothes and everything is turning green, even the soup springs are that color now since one of our citizens washed his feet in them on a warm day last week.

The Star is in receipt of notice that a National Missionary Congress will be held in Toronto under the aegis of the Laymen's Missionary Movement. Accompanying it is copy for publication but as the Star has opinions of its own it respectfully declines the ready made article or editorial. That the church, by which is meant the vast organizations or denominations found in all Christendom, is not doing all the work Christ instructed his disciples to do is evidenced by the results. Go into the churches of a Sunday and observe the class of people who attend. Not the poor, humble, coarse clad, but the smug, fine clothed, Pharisaic predominate; few, if any conversions; the sermon of the sort that does not offeud or cause the ear to tingle and often does uot uplift ; highly trained choirs with good voice and volume but lacking spiritual tone, the whole service one of dead routine. No wonder there is a Laymen's Missionary Movement to reach the undertow of humanity—the great unbelieving, Bible scoffing mass in every civilized country as well as the heathen in other lands. It seems that gospel spreading and Bible teaching is now to be entrusted largely to laymen rather than the college trained with two or three capitals to their names. Uu-1 lettered men, such as Moody, Jerry McAuley, and Gipsy Smith are the most successful fishers of men, indeed the church net would be about empty were it not for these common lay evangelists whose awakening and converting powers are beyond question. These men teach the Bible in its entirety. With them it is all or nothing, and properly and logically so. They do not mince matters, but fire broadsides of hot truth at the people, knowing that they are not dependent on them for a salary and have no fixed abode. Salaries are the bane of the church today, creating acrid discussion, dissension, harsh criticism and bitterness, besides, the -gospel 'is without money and without price,' therefore I the labors of all those engaged in its spread are priceless and unpur- chasable. That minister is fettered and handicapped who draws a salary from the people whom he serves. He may have a highly respectable, dignified, formal congregation but he will have few converts, if any, and conversion should be the end and aim of preaching. The Star welcomes the Laymen's Missionary Movement, believing it to be more) in line with scripture in method, < its spirit born workers giving evi-1 dence of power that no amount of professional college training can equal. Tbe church has a lot of dead men and women on its roll. Possibly the Laymen's Movement will restore them to life and usefulness. You I need to eat ineat if you want to enjoy life. We have the best.

Evaporation: which Concerns Irrigator as well as Dry Farmer. The subject of evaporation is of interest to the irrigator as well as the dry farmer and it will pay both to give it consideration. Professor King has showu by repeated" . experiments that during hot weather, from ground left in its natural state,water will evaporate from the soil at the rate of over a quart to the square foot per day; in fact often nearly three pints. This shows why it is imperative for the dry faimer to cultivate his ground immediately after a rain to check this enormous evaporation, it also shows the absolute necessity for the irrigator to cultivate as soon after irrigating as the soil will permit. Toward the end of June we usually get rain. As soon as the rain stops loss by evaporation begins ; in 24 hours 108,- 000 gallons have gone, in ten days 1,080,000 gallons -have left the soil from ten acres of ground. Is it not better to cultivate immediately after the rain and save the water that is already in the ground ? Of course with the dry farmer it is a matter of much more vital importance, (Continued on 5th page.) PRINCETON DIRECTORY. TUCKOTS Largest Sale in Canada "MODEL'" LIVERY STUB PRINCETON, B. C.

Secretar ^ m for if he lets 1,000,000 gallons of water waste from ten acres he has no means at hand to replenish it; it is gone entirely and before more rain: comes the soil is apt to be suffering for want of moisture. As long as there 'is moisture on the it evaporates unless checked by a soil mulch; and- while cultivation at any ^ime will form a ■ soil mulch and check Evaporation, the most perfect soil mulch can only be made directly after rain or irrigation, before the soil has become dried. Every day that ground is left without cultivation after rain, water has left it at the rate of over 10,000 gallons per acre that the dry farmer has no means of replacing. Further, it is most convindingly arg tied that products from ground treated in this way are superior in quality and flavor to those where such over-irrigation has been done as is necessary where such cultivation as advised is not carried out, while the productivity of the ground is not only increased but conserved for the products of value, not wasted on weed growth. &toto m THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR totoM TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION TO ALL POIMTS.
