Vol. X. No. 32. PRINCETON, B.C, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1909. $2 a Year in Advance m THE BOARD OF TRADE Westminster Boafd Requests Information Relating to Railway Projects. Great Northern as Medium for Inducing Capital—Man's Choice to Settle Here. The regular meeting of the Board of Trade was held Monday night, at which there was a good, representative attendance and important matters brought up. After routine communications were read as follows: From the secretary of the New Westminster Board of Trade asking for details of the proposed railway routes through Princeton and district and stating that * it would be in the interest of onr citizens to support the projects with all our power, and with a view to action with local boards of trade or other progressive bodies.' Secretary to reply, giving what information he deems requisite. From G. S. Lawrence, of the B. C- Fruitlands Co , Keremeos, re advertising the Similkameen valley unitedly with Hedley and Keremeos. He also said: ' The Great Northern will do a lot for us if we supply the reading matter; this company has a staff of men that are busy all the time enlisting capitai in the valley.' Mr. Lawrence stated that a very fine article on the resources of the Similkameen by an English journalist had appeared in a Winnipeg paper and the same writer, Mr. Duthie, will contribute special articles to British journals on our vast mineral resources. Secretary Marlow will reply. From H. B. Abdy, Vancouver, requesting maps and literature about Princeton and stating that he was a reader of the Star, and, although a resident of the United States for the past eight years he had made up his mind to settle in the •Princeton country.' Under the head of reports Magistrate Waterman reported by proxy that he had not written to the member owing to his (Mr. Shatford) illness. Regarding enforcement of the law relating to peace, order and decorum on the streets the constable had been requested to give full force and effect to it. It was learned that Princeton would soon have a government agent, as in some other towns, and some change was contemplated then in the matter of constabulary. Mr. Nathan addressed the Board re waterworks, urging municipal ownership and early action. Messrs Pyman and Upshall also addressed the Board, the former regretting severance from the Board and departure from town to his former home. He would always have a good word for Princeton and had faith in the future of this country. The latter, as a stranger and visitor, admired Princeton for its beauty and the evidences of progress; its coal mine was a source of much interest to him. He believed in the great resources as a means of prosperity. Board adjourned. SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING. At the special meeting of ratepayers held on Monday last to elect a trustee in place of J. O. Conlthard, resigned, H. H. Avery, sr , was unanimously chosen. He will also act as secretary to the Board. The resignation of teacher Cochrane was read, and steps already taken bv the trustees to fill the vacancy were stated to the meeting. The motion to add three lots in rear of the school for playground was carried without disseut. The terms as submitted by the manager of the V.F.M. Co , art $600 for lots 27, 28 and 29 in block 24; #50 down, #50 next July, balance in equal annual payments of Jioo witn interest at 8 p c. Should the option from now until next July be not allowed to expire then the first $50 will apply toward purchase price. Deed may be obtained any time on payment of principal and interest. OLD MARE BELATED HIM. A. Murchie, photographer, has written from Westbank, stating that he will be back in Princeton soon. He would have been here months ago but his foxy old brown mare ran away with a band of wild horses and left him afoot. He will come, anyway, even if the old thing don't have enough horse sense to return where she always got a square deal and only an occasional 'long oat.' Mr. Murchie is pleased to hear of the steady progress made in Princeton. Like many others he may be trsubled with wan- derfoot, but 'as sure as figs is figs'- they all return to the old town. Something magnetic about the place, and it isn't iron that draws them, either. Times may be kind of quiet for a few days in the year but that does not injure the glorious prospect. Hark ! Is that the neigh of one of Jim Hill's horses coming around the curve? Now the headlight of progress dispels the gloom. How d'ye do, Mr. Murchie ? Orville Wright is a bird—he recently broke all records and 'fills the bill' for Uncle Sam. The tracklayers are coming along well and fully expect to be in Hedley by the 15th inst. At Omaha, Neb., tests of a new serum for prevention of typhoid have been very successful. Two persons drank freely of stagnant water in which one million typhoid germs had been placed.

Vancouver Daily Press Ignore the Hope Mountain Eoutes for Ulterior Reasons. The Saturday Sunset of July 24 contains much interesting matter relating to the railway situation in the Similkameen and Nicola districts. Its editor recently made a reconnaissance of the available Hope Mountain passes with a civil engineer and what he says in the Sunset has the ring of fact backed by scientific investigation. In truth, the Sunset is the only newspaper in Vancouver unhampered by political strings or railway influence. Its pronouncements may, therefore, be accepted as credible and in the interests of the people. The Star will reprint the Sunset articles seriatim and in installments, made necessary by its capacity. It savs: " It is amazing and painful with what cheerful idiocy the Coast newspapers in season and out of season, editorially and in their news columns, condemn the possibility of a practical railwav route through the Hope Mountains. It is incomprehensible that the coast newspapers should so cavalierly dismiss as impracticable a route which means so mnch to the interests of this province and particularly of Vancouver. No railway connection which Vancouver has in contemplation is more valuable to the future of this city's growth and trade than that of the Similkameen and Nicola, which alsp means that of the Boundary and Koote- nay." [To be Continued.] GRANITE CREEK CRICKLETS. (Prom Our Special Correspondent.! Granite Creek, July 31.—The funeral of the late Charles DeBarro was held from his residence on Wednesday last, and was attended by a large concourse of friends from up and down the valley. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. Granite feels his death severely. W. H. Holmes cut his foot in the instep on Friday with an axe but is fast improving. He finished clearing the trail up Granite to within about a mile of Badger caeek. It is to be hoped the government will appropriate enough next time so that it can be cleared as far as Champion creek, making an easy route to the Summit. A proposed road, of paramount importance to this section, is that leading to the North Fork coal mines. The road is not expensive to build. It would make the use of coal practicable for the whole of the Tulameen, Granite and Otter Valley sections; nobody can afford it now-and pack it out on horses. Blacksmiths all over the Similkameen district would be glad to get this coal for their forges. This is an opportunity for the member to- do a great good at small cost. The Granite creek suffragists, led by Mrs. F. P. Cook, held a picnic on Welldo townsite last Thursday. The male population is preparing to emigrate. F. Stewart, partner of Charlie Lam- beit, severely cut his wrist, necessitating his return to the coast. His son Tommy, and Noel Lambert accompanied him. Dan Ross has returned from the Summit where he was doing his assessment work. Berries are very plentiful on WeHdo. There is a rumor from New York that some wealthy Americans would like to get a hold on this townsite for fruit growing. !/"l^4'> 'srf A party was held at the residence of* W. H. Holmes on Saturday. Music and dancing were indulged in until morn, ing. HORSES TOOK FRENCH LEAVE. Just as Summers & Wardle were unloading a van load of some of their far famed bunch grass beef yesterday morning the horses got restless and bolted, but were held in check for some distance- by the nervy attempt of O. Rain to stop the flying steeds. The horses gained such momentum with the load that O. had his iron grasp broken and the horses sped around the block, being caught by Mr. Summers, who skilfully yanked them into position at the old stand and the unloading continued. All's well that ends well, no damage being sustained and Sir Loin none the worse of his fast ride. TOWN AND DISTRICT. A. Broomfield, C. Willarson, Gus Johnson and O. Anderson were passengers to Keremeos on a 'flying' special this morning, where they will catch the daily train for Chopaca (Chewterbacker) and other wayside points. Mr. and Mrs. Pyman leave on Monday for Enderby, their old stamping ground. They have made many friends here who are loth to part with them. It is a law of inevitable compensation that just as the knocker knocks so he gets knocked. The same law applies to a booster. Be a booster and the world will boost you! Hon. W. J. Bowser, attorney-general, is back from Europe. J. H. Kennedy, chief of construction on the V.,V. & E. was in town last week making inspection of the work in progress here. Mr. H. Cowan of Montreal accompanied him. Mayor McLean of Ashnola was in town Tuesday. THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR August 4, 1909. The Similkameen Star. J. M.

The visit of the Minister of Public Works, Hon. W. Pugsley, and the Secretary of State, Hon. C. Murphy, can have none other than good results for the ministers and the province. B.C. has been a sort of terra incognita to most Dominion ministers, as evidenced by their "ejaculations of surprise at the magnitude, resources and progress of the country. Each minister is a representative-at-large of the Dominion, is well paid and has no travelling expenses. It ought to be incumbent, therefore, for each minister to visit the provinces annually and thus familiaize themselves with the people and their needs in an impressive way, such as neither blue books nor newspapers •can convej'. Hon. Mr. Pugsley has expressed & strong desire to assist any public ■work for the general good which possesses merit. Notwithstanding :the fact that B.C. is overwhelmingly Conservative in representation at ^Ottawa, Minister Pugsley is broad guage enough to forget reverses and .defeats and in spite of these and Tory jealousy, make plans for improvement of the Narrows at Vancouver and the Fraser river. This is statesmanship. His visit to this province cannot fail to result in good—both in winning high opinions of himself from the people and the carrying out of necessary improvements. The Minister of Public Works came unscathed through the fiery ordeal of intense hatred and malignity of enemies in and out of the House who, apparently, had determined on his overthrow and political ruin. He is all the better of .the hail of criticism, and the rank ^partiality of a quasi-judicial commission appointed to, if possible, pick some hole in his coat. They =all failed miserably and the hon. minister is today, next to Premier Laurier, the strongest member of the cabinet. Instead of weakening the man whose ability they feared, his enemies have made him all the stronger—such is the effect of slander in any walk of life when silently borne or patiently combatted. No ministerial cabinet since the •day of Confederation will stand comparison either in the aggregate, or individually, with tbe present Laurier government. Though assailed with every kind of political weapon, from the sandbag to the bomb, nothing has been brought to the door of any of the minisrera now serving which in any way imperils their character or administrative ability. If the work of eliminating graft from the departments proceeds until all are cleansed and remodelled and the banishment of that nauseous word 'patronage' from the official vocabulary is accomplished, then the foundations of Liberal rule will have been securely laid. The people have had a surfeit of graft in the past quarter of a century and they will rally to the banner of any leader who stands for righteous, honorable government. In Yale-Cariboo, Liberals have had no cause to regret sending Mr. Burrell, a Conservative, to Ottawa, instead of the former Liberal member. He is seen to be a valuable acquisition to the House. His speeches are informative and untainted with that partizau flavor which betrays the small politician.

Smelting is so closely allied to mining that any indication of progress in the one affects the other. The Trail smelter is having prosperous days, even with the low price of metals, and must now increase its capacity to double if it would treat all the ore and base bullion offering. Our somewhat erratic contemporary, the Chronicle, opposes the new 'blue laws' of Washington and struggles to take a 'fall' out of the Star for venturing to commend them as a whole in their intention and tendency. Mr. Chronicle says that a certain place is paved with good intentions, thus inferentially arguing that a law of good intent and tendency should be condemned anyway, or because this 'certain place is paved with good intentions j Well, friend Chronicle, your logic is poor, your conclusion bad and your intention and tendency worse. On the same ground, one may reasonably infer, local option is opposed, or any other law that aims to reform and uplift. It is difficult to know some people's opinions— whether they stand for good law, loose law or none at all. Hon. Dr. Pugsley stated at Victoria that the Dominion government would build drydocks capable of accommodating the largest battleships on both the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. A Canadian navy is the wise conclusion of the government. Why not build and man it in Canada? Dr. Young, provinciSl minister of education, states that the government will establish a teacher's superannuation fund. . Why not raise the salaries and thus attract brainy and able men.

It tells what, and explains how and why. The investor in copper shares cannot afford to be without it. The Copper Handbook gives statistics and general information on one hand, with thousands of detailed mine descriptions on the other, covering the copper mines of the entire world, and the 40 pages of condensed statistical tables alone are worth more than the price of the book to each and every owner of copper miuing shares. PRICE: $5 in buokram with gilt top, or $7.50 in full library morocco. TERMS : The most liberal. Send no money, but order the book sent you, all carriage charges prepaid, on one week's approval, to be returned if unsatisfactory, or paid for if it suits. Can you afford not to see the book and judge for yourself of its value to you? WRITE NOW to the editor and publisher, ' HORACE J. STEVENS, 550 SHEIvDEN BLDG., HOUGHTON MICH., TJ. S.
