No. 5. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1909. $2 a Year in Advance MONEY IN HEN FRUIT Wise Man in East Tells how 125 per cent. Profit is Made. If Henpecked Husbands, or Bachelors, would Prospect Hens.Mignt Find Gold Mine. There is so much room for expansion in the egg producing industry in this district, and trfJs being a slack time for mining news, the following will prove ot interest and perchance profit to farmers and all who consume eggs. It is estimated that only one half the eggs consumed here are produced in this section, the other halt being imported as ca.e " eggs. With fresh eggs selling at 50 cents per dozen for eight month-, in the year, the balance at 40 cents, and good locations for 'chicken ranching' near town, it would seem that Princeton offers fine inducements for anyone wishing to engage in this profitable business. Let us see what A. SjJZiminerman, of Harris- burg, Pa, has to say about hens and eggs: " From figures compiled in a year's record of 14 hens, housed iih'a coop gx 15 feet, Mr. Zimmerman, of 15, North Eighteenth street, says the Monitor, declares there is 125 per cent, profit in selling the eggs laid by this flock, even at the average price of 30 cents a dozen Zimmerman has no patent appliance fir 'making hens lay ' He maintains simply that the fowls will produce eggs as well when kept in close quarters in the city, if they have proper sttenUqn, arid feed. Here are some of the results o his year's observations offered as proof of the statement that his 14 hens have been ' making good :' In the year the hens lai 1 1456 eggs, an average of 28 eggs a week for the year, or four each day f:om the flock. At the price of 30 'Cents a dozen, this output netted approximately $36 40. And for this profit Mr. Zimmerman's computation shows that he spent for feed only $16.12. 'Those hens weie notwalk- ing skeleton?, either,' explained Zimmer- (Continued on page 3.) winter at Gibson's lake and is having good luck trapping, catching seven lynx during the cold snap. He froze his nose but dotsn't mind a little mishaplike that so long as the present price of lynx' holds up. C. Scjjisler is hauling hay from the Tilton ranch to Jerry Frame's and was sadiy missed at the dance Friday night. Business before pleasure, of course, but it is hoped Jerry won't eat another overload of bannocks before the next dance and keep Mr. Schisler away again. Walter Martin is busy hauling hay fiom -Al Johnson's place on the creek. ■ Since J. C. Budd had his eyes treated last fall in Spokane he is able to see tin wigglers in the lake on his ranch and fishing for wigglers has become quite a :pastime with Jack. Wesley Gibson has become quite intensely interested iu_ the 'matrimonial wave' that has struck Princeton and is. Jiving in hope that it will strike Five- Mile before spring. Cheer up, Wes., the worst is yet to come. Mr. and Mrs. Len. Huston, and little daughter Ida, visited Grandview ranch last Sunday, which was enjoyed very much by all concerned.. Mr. Huston is an expert 'Pit' player. One would think he had been recently- operating on Wall Street. 'iMS. ' Day Bros, of Princeton, ordered some good weather a few da\s ago from the weather bureau man down south. We hope the subscribers of this paper will not think that rumbling, shaking noise (hey heard last Saturday morning was an earthquake sent in mistake; it was only Luke Gibson falling on the ice at his place, 'Grandview.' ' FIVE-MILE PARAGRAPHED. Fred Wampole paid us a flying visit on his way to Princeton last week. He is feeding cattle at Gibson's lake this winter,and did net know anything about the 'cold wave' until he came *out and heard" "everyone talking about it. He say! •filling through th? ice is great sport —there are no mosquitoes to bother now. Mr. Perkins is making his home this WEDDING BELLS. Another of those pleasing events which have recently stirred the social strata of life in Princeton took place today at 2 o'clock at the residence of the bride's parents, a few miles from here. It was the marriage of Richard John Edmond, to Miss Eliza A. Bromley, both of whom are popular and have a' host of friends throughout the valley. The nuptial knot was tied by the Rev. J. Thurburn-Ccnn in the presence of a large number of friends after which a bountiful repast was provided for the assembled guests. The groom was for several years engaged with T. Ellis (Lord O'Kanagin) as his chief factor and advisory employee, in those catiacide'shecoming acquainted with the large floating population of which the writer was one, and enjoying the confidence and respect of a wide circle of acquaintances. The bride is the only daughter and is held in much esteem by many near friends. Miss Schisler was bridesmaid and with the bride formed the center of a charming scene. The Star extends hearty congratulations. LOCAL AND GENERAL Road to Copper Mountain Requires Improvement and Extension. Marriage Licenses in Demand—Board of Trade to Urge A.-Y.-P. Mineral Exhibit. Next on the tapis is a grand ball by the bachelors. Mrs. A.J. Marlow is expected on to- dny's stage,- having been on a visit to relatives at Kamloops for the past month. ! Some talk of improving and'extending Copper Mountain road is heard but as yet no action taken. The usual prc- cedure is by petition or resolution to the government. The road is in need of the things suggested and the government will only appropriate money on proper and urgent representation—mere talk will not accomplish much. Board of Trade meeting next Monday night at 8 o'clock in the conrt house. Membets particularly requested to attend to consider question of mineral display from this section at the A.-Y.-P. Exposition at Seattle. Three marriage licenses for the month of January show that Princeton is progressive and is doing her share in building up the great human family. When last heard from Bill Scrnby was reported to he heading this way, having "put in' most of the winter in the Boundary. H. M.

He says it is almost continuous wet weather in that country and outdoor work anyihing but pleasant. The wet belt extends for about 100 miles inwards. Mr. Bargeson is glad to be back to Princeton with its lovely climate and handsome prospects Broomfield & Garrison have hauled to town several tons of United Empire coal which is of the same good quality as that found in other parts of the basin.

The Star respectfully reminds its local" readers that it is in constant need of newsy items from all parts of the district. Mining items are valuable and of absorbing interest to capitalists and investors and any contributions from owners, miners and prospectoYs will well repay them. The Star aims to be wholly local for the reason that world news is distributed through the daily and weekly outside press days before this paper could print it—it has no more relish for stale news than stale eggs. ■ Most of the Star subscribers live on the dutside and they crave the local news it contains, in fact it is all thev take it for. There are thousands of investors in this.section who want to know the latest about it. The Star must have local news. If the people do not supply it with lockets then it will as a final resort publish .lifelike biographies of them. Our new Five- Mile correspondent illustrates ^hat can be done by loyalty to one's own particular section and the country generally. Kindly take the hint, correspondents. AN ENJOYABLE DANCE. The social dance held in the I.O.O.F. hall last Friday night was enjoyed by all attending. Circumstances over which no one had control prevented a number from being present. The dances will be given regularly during the long nights and as a means of social amusement are expected to be well patronized. Excellent music was furnished bv Prof. Sim- GRADING TO BEGIN HERE. Engineer Kennedy's staff are cross sectioning the railway l.ine in and near town preparatory to contractors moving up from portions already finished. It is expected that the dirt which was predicted to fly some seven years ago wilt soon fly in real earnest within the borders of the town. The occasion of the- first shovelful of flying dirt alighting on> the grade in town should be marked by some appropriate demonstration after so many years of tedious waiting. -Perhaps, an old fashioned barbecue accompanied by musical strains from the lyre and the tom-jon, closing with a sun dance and the singing of "Waiting, Yes, Waiting," would be as appropriate as anything. Did some one suggest also the burning of. the effigies of those politicians who - were responsible for the delay, and the erection of an illuminated statue of Uncle Jim with eulogy of him at the unveiling ?

It is a decree of Nature that all things must change, and without change there cannot be any progress. The old darkey uttered more philosophy than he knew when he said : " The world do move." Even our language changes in form and pro- nounciation. It is believed that the phonograph records recently safe-deposited to be used again two centuries hence will be unintelligible in pronounciation to the listeners of that da}'. Words are born or- 'coined' every day and philologists are busy burying others at every revision of the dictionaries. So, what reasonable ground is there for retaining dying or dead word forms which the usage of the American continent and the much larger majority of English speaking people condemned long ago. Around the letter " u " storm clouds have arisen in the east because some fogey in the last stage of mental decrepitude has ordered the old country adaptation,of this letter in "honor," " labor." etc., in school books. To disturb the vogue that has obtained in our public schools and the custom of the •country for generations is an act of folly, especially when the results must be reactionary and serve no good purpose for literature or education. The English language is clumsy enough without retaining cumbersome and superfluous letters. Spelling reform is needed, if only for the sake of the thousands of foreigners who come to our shores yearly and are scattered from Princeton to Paspebiac. Any educationist who endeavours to simplify our language, instead of muddle and confuse, will at least earn the gratitude of those immigi ants struggling to master their adopted language. Where a letter has no earthly significance in sound or meaning as in "governo(u)r," "ar dour," "humo(n)r," &c, cut it out. This is a practical, logical age, in which things are not done without reason, and good reason at that. Because our grandaddies, and relatives in the old land make "labor" more "laborio[u]s and clumsy is that sufficient reason to perpetuate a lack of symmetrical form in Canada ? Toadyism in any form has no place in the free and independent west. One class that will not be moved by any order to adopt the objec tionable "u" is the printer. Mauy recent reforms are already traceable to.him. He delights in lopping off anything" that is worn out or useless and positively refuses to spell "program" "programme" or "cata log" "catalogue." "He has elimi-l nated the hyphen from today, tomorrow, tonight and so on, until there are few hyphenated .words left, and he divides wherever it is handiest, which saves much tedious spacing. Mr. and Esq. are no longer in general use in up-to-date journals. All this and more means.' £ economy of space and time. From (j the purely mechanical standpoint there is, therefore, much in favor of our spelling reform as compared with that of Britain.
