Vol. XI. No. 47. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 19JO. $2 a Year in Advance MINES AND MINING Company to Supply Hydro- Electrie Power from the River. Important Mining Deal in Process— I Railway Projected to Steamboat Mountain Camp. T. J. Corwin, of Vancouver, who is interested in the gold-platinum placers of this district left Monday after an examination of _ln_ "field for mining. His company will prospect here during the winter aud, atiidy tbe ..best method of recovering the precious metals. E. P. Galliac recently scSld* a quarter interest in his coal property on Onemile for $12,500. The Granite-Poorman, one of the oldest mines in the Kootenays, is about to resume shipping after a long shut-down. One of the largest miniug deals in the Similkameen, in which the Gnggen- heitns are principals, is reported to be about completed. Steamboat Mountain gold camp is the drawing card for Vancouver capital. Whipsaw is active among mining men, and enquiries are coming freely. I. N. Dally, coal expert, of Seattle, was in town last week and made inspection of some coal propositions in this section. A. H. Kelly, of Nelson, a well known mining man in the Kootenay country, is a visitor to Princeton and is being chaperoned over different mining propositions by W. C. McLean. Mr. Kelly is very much impressed with our vast mineral resources. The 'mining town of Florence, N.S., was recently flame swept, doing damage to the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Co. amounting to $100,000. Col. Stevenson, the veteran prospector, goldhunter and pioneer, returned Monday from Hedley hospital feeling fit and skookum, as of yore. POWER FROM * WHITE COAL.' , Another enterprise of great value _o_ Princeton is shortly to be launched in this section, the preliminary stages of which are now being advanced. It has long been a well known fact that the Similkameen river affords the finest water facilities in the country for the development of power The natural fall of the river and its large volume will give power sufficient to supply all requirements. At first, the development of 3000 horse power is all that will be provided. Hydro-electric power is the handiest, cheapest, safest and most reliable. W. C. McDougall is at the head of . ^he project and is already applying for water rights. The awakening into business activity caused by the generation-of power from 'white coal' is a welcome feature wherever it has been introduced and Princeton will not, in all likelihood, prove an exception. KING IS COMING. King Keunedy, the renowned conjuror and ventriloquist, will give one of his unique exhibitions in Princeton on Wednesday, Nov. 30. Many thousands of feet of new moving picture films will be a part of the show. King makes the rather pathetic announcement that this will probably be his last appearance, as he 'is not so young as he used to be.' His show is clean and interesting and cannot fail to please. See him on this his goodbye tour and you will always have something pleasant to think about. Aduits 50c; children 25c. EXCESSIVE COAL TARIFF. The Nelson board of trade has taken up the question of freight rates on coal from the producing points. Gait coal costs Nelson dealers at the mine $3 55 and adding $310 freight and 35c. for hauling, the actual cost at the bunkers at Nelson is $7 per ton. Retailed in less than carload lots at $8.25 per ton delivered, there is a margin of $1.25. out of which comes the cost of delivery and the profit. In the case of the Ashcroft mine at Lethbridge, the original cost is $3 75 per ton, the other charges being the same the dealer has $1.05 for profit and delivery. Coal from Bankhead on the main line retails at $10.50 in Nelson, costing $5.50 at the mine, the freight rate being $3 50 aud handling charges as usual. The rate from Lethbridge bore no relation whatever to the competitive rate from Princeton, for, under the pres ent tariff, when Princeton coal begins to come in by the Great Northern it will, be carried for $2.50 per ton. The coal tariff is to be made the subject of investigation by the railway commission. ENERGETIC BUSINESS MEN. R. Cross and J. H. Tillsley have recently been added to the personnel composing the officials of the United Empire Co. Both gentlemen are prominent business men of Spokane and are financially interested in enterprises which will beneficially affect Princeton and the whole district. It is the intention of the U.E. Co. to develop its copper property on Onemile, next its coal mine, and Mr. Cross will superintend the work. It now looks as if Onemile would shortly become a bnsy spot with the operations of the U.E. and subsidiary companies. There is room enough for all. O H. Carle, the grocer, received an mmense supply of fruit and vegetables the other day from Keremeos. No order too big for him to fill.

As the name implies, the organization is for the purpose of helping to furnish and provide the many necessary articles required for the proper equipment dMbe hospital. The officers elected are : President, Mrs. McDougall; Vice-President, Mrs. Waddell; Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. Marlow ; the other ladies present being Mesdames Howse, Nelson, Hall, Huston, and Miss Schisler. It is expected that a large membership will accrue to the Auxiliary as all ladies are invited to take part in this philanthropic work. MINING NEWS WANTED. E, Jacobs, the well known mining editor and reviewer asks Star to state that he will be pleased to receive any information relative to the progress and development of mines and of the prospect for mining operations. The information given will have wide pnblicity. He asks that mining men give him all the information possible so that due prominence may be given to this important district. Communications should be addressed to E.Jacobs, Nelson, B.C. and ought to reach him not later than the ist of December.

Protected trade is unnatural, fictitious, forced. Free trade puts everyone on equal footing ; protection favors some to the disadvantage of others, it is class legislation. No man, nor law, should say : Thou shalt not, under penalty of a tariff, trade with the Americans, the French, Germans or British. A man's privilege to buy where he pleases is his birthright and any interference with it by the state destroys his liberty and makes of him a vassal. What man would suffer dictation as to where he shall buy his goods in a given town ? Protection is destructive of healthy competition. It fosters combines, trusts and gigantic mergers which swallow all within reach of its monopolistic tentacles. At the rate which Sir Wilfrid Laurier has travelled toward his promised goal of free trade during the last fourteen years ot his premiership, no man now living can hope to see free trade consummated. It remains for the Conservatives to adopt the new and winning battle cry : Universal Free Trade, and wrest Canada from the grip of unfaithful servants. In tbe ordinary course of progress and enlightenment Universal Free Trade must come. In the world's politics no other question has the stupendous benefits to bestow upon the human race. It is the one way in which to settle the mania for huge, impoverishing armaments and to bring about that universal peace which all right hearted persons look forward to, hope and pray for. Star commends free trade to Conservative leaders, for its importance completely overshadqws the politician's toy—reciprocity.and will effectually dispose of naval, conscription and all present military or warlike problems. comparison with Princeton in the matter of cleanliness. The system of sanitation, which includes scavenging, is carried out on prescribed statutory lines and with the recent addition of waterworks the town has the necessary equipment for maintaining the cleanliness and health of the community. The result of building operations at the close of the year will be found much in advance of any previous year, this, in itself being conclusive proof that the town is coming into its own by right of its industrial and commercial advantages. The census of all Canada to be taken next June will give British Columbia a population of at least 300,000 or more. The basis of representation being 25,000 that number will in proportion to population give this province a representation of 12 members in the House of Commons. Yale-Cariboo will, in all probability, be divided into two natural ridings, Yale and Cariboo. With the increased membership it ought to be made clear at Ottawa that our equal and fair rights as a province should no longer be denied. Per capita, B, C. contributes more than the other provinces to the Dominion's revenue and this is one of the matters requiring adjustment along with a fairer proportion of expenditure on public buildings and works. In Britain under free trade tte development of its commerce has been by leaps and bounds. That ought to be answer enough to those little Canadians who see nothing but dire results from the operation of free trade in this country. The protective tariff rut is hard for the 'slow coaches' to get out of. NOTES AND COMMENTS. It is not necessary to resort to tabulated statistics to show that Princeton is moving onward in the march of progress which is so strikingly evident throughout the country as a whole. Other towns less ripe in years are probably more advanced through the influence of booming tactics. A casual survey of the town is only necessary to prove that the spirit of progress is not dormant in citizens. Without boasting, it is believed |that no other town of its size wiil stand Ralph Smith, M P., in an interview at Merritt, promised that the town would have the federal buildings which had been urgently asked for. Mr. Smith is the Liberal organizer and he knows a thing or two. Come this way, Mr. Smith, Princeton wants federal buildings too. The postoffice service in Canada is honeycombed with inefficiency, says the Greenwood Ledge. Yes, it is fast losing all the honey, soon there will be nothing left but the comb, some bee bread and the slow old drones buzzing around.
