No. 41. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, .9X0.. $2 a Year in Advance THE BOARD OF TRADE Forest Fire Prevention Considered—To Reorganize .Fire Brigade. Quarterly Sessions of Court and Public Buildings Matter Delayed Once Again. At the monthly meeting of the board of trade held Monday night, after the usual routine, the following communications were read : From the Conservation Commission, Ottawa, re Forest Fires, stating that during the past summer 'fires have been devouring the growth of centuries with ruthless rapacity. Fine tracts of merchantable timber worth millions of dol lars have been destroyedin Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba. Even if no thought be given to the number of lives lost, it must be admitted that the loss occasioned this year by forest fires is nothing short of appalling. Can nothing be done, then, to prevent this loss? The answer is that much can be done. The solution of the problem is indicated in two words—public sentiment. The two principal causes of forest fires are campers and railways, and public opinion must be brought to bear on these.' Less Theory, More Practice. From Secretary G. H. Brock of the Fire Chiefs' convention at Revelstoke, sending copy of proceedings from which is the following relating to forest fires by Chief D. McDougall, of Fernie : 'The recent forest fires show that the problem of protecting not only the timber interest, but also the towns and cities, has not been solved. There is too much parsimony about our governments, both Dominion und provincial—too much of the 'penny wise and pound foolish' way of attending to the conservation of the forest. Is it n.ot fear of the railway interests that prevents prosecution for the many fires along the roads throughout the province ? We all know that a large percentage of fires were caused by sparks from locomotives. This can be prevented. When forest rangers or fire wardens are appointed they should be men capable of attending to their duties, not men with political 'pull.' They should study the forest as fire chiefs investigate the towns and cities, and be always ready to meet with any emergency. We value our timber wealth at millions of dollars. It is, and will be, a main source of revenue. Surely we can afford to protect something so vitally important. A forest ranger here and there, engaged for two or three months, is of no value. We should have 'men' attending to the forest who understand their business. They should have good laws to enforce and be above any influence. A 'forest ranger' should cover all territory in his district and prevent conflagrations.' The board endorsed the suggestions made by the Conservation Commission and the Fire Chiefs Convention, adding thereto the penalty of imprisonment fo setting fires under any conditions, during the prohibited season, holding railway presidents and heads of companies responsible for fires caused by their locomotives or steamers. The board recommends thorough reorganization of the Princeton Fire Brigade, made necessary by the advent of a waterworks system. The matter of quarterly sessions of the county court was left over until next meeting, meanwhile the visiting judge wonld be interviewed. The board ordered a minute to be made of the importance accruing to this section through the establishment of a large cement works with a payroll of four hundred employees and inviting officials of the enterprise to become members of this board. The board deferred action re Dominion public buildings owing to the postponement of the opening of parliament to the first of next year. It was urged that all delinquent members of the board be requested to pay their arreages and thus help in a publicity campaign. , Board adjourned. PBOGBESS AND ENTERPRISE. Cement Industry will Benefit Whole Country—Townsite Selected. The British Columbia Portland Cement Co., Limited, with commendable energy and business tact, is making rapid strides toward the establishment of its large works. Cegal and other preliminary steps had to be completed before industrial aciivity on a large scale could be undertaken. The secretary-treasurer of the company, C. R. Briggs, has not been idle, having disposed of considerable amounts of stock to citizens, who readily appreciate the proposition and sign their checks forthwith. A townsite has been selected on the Similkameen river opposite the Westwood orchard and between the Allison home and H. Hunter's d .m- esne, thft__.reets of wljich will he -payed with cetnentv A recaeation park and athletic grounds will be provided for what is proposed to be a model town. It is so close to Princeton that it will probably be included in its incorporated confines, or it may be that each in friendly rivalry may swallow up or down the other and thus become one homogenous whole. The railroad bridge at the eastern boundary of "Cement City" will probably have near it an ordinary traffic bridge. LOCAL AND GENERAL Threshing in Progress and Grain Good Quality if Short. Business Stand Open for Watchmaker —Cement is Favorite Stock for Investment. • Dr. McEwen of Hedley was in town Thursday on professional business. ' K. C. Brown, barrister and solicitor, has moved his office to the Britton block, npstairs. A. Murchie left on Thursday last for Westbank, where he expects to settle down on his fruit fa*.m. Who he has chosen for his life partner has not yet been announced. He will, beyond all doubt, make a kind and loving husband. ; Some pious hypocrites love to rehearse all your faults bu. none of your virtues.. _/ -*_■'. - /^(aOu __l j£Cl- ^_ _V^ "__ Major Anderson, the genial, afT-pieT yet firm, rightofway agent for the Great Nortnern, was in town'last Thursday on a business visit. ' J. H. Kennedy, for some days prostrate with muscular rheumatism at the home of Mrs. J. W. Macalpine, was removed last week to the hot springs in Oregon, where he will undergo the usual treatment. P. W. Gregory, P L.S., left Friday for the coast and will return shortlv. Mrs. G. Wardle, of Hope, Miss Edna I/yall and Tommy Day arrived Sundav over the mountains from Hope. Mrs. Wardle is visiting relatives. You may buy pleasure but never happiness—the one is material and the other spiritual. There is a good opening in Princeton for a watchmaker and jeweler, now that Mr. Massonat has been obliged to leave on account of his serious illness. NECESSITY OF GOOD WATER. The commission of conservation, Ottawa, issue bulletins on various subjects which newspapers are invited to give publicity to. The following on water supply is important : ' The quality of water for human consumption depends upon the polluting and purifying influences to which it has been subjected before reaching the consumer. It is well known that the general health of a community using a sewage polluted water gradually falls lower and lower and the death rate increases proportionately. Of the diseases most frequently following the use of an impure water, typhoid fever holds, at the present day, the most prominent position in the public eye. It is a curious fact, as yet unexplained, that the change from 'an impure water to a pure supply diminishes the sickness and death late, not only from typhoid fever, but also from tuberculosis, pneumonia, and other serious diseases. It is also a fact that in certain cities using a sewage polluted water the death rate from typhoid fever is many times more than that for cities using a filtered water supply taken from the same source. Generally speaking, there are two methods in nse for the filtration of public water supplies: they are known as the 'Slow Sand' filtration and 'Mechanical' filtration. In the former type, the water filters through teds of sand and gravel at varying rates of from two to five million gallons per acre every twenty-four hours, according to the character of the water. In mechanical filtration, a precipitate is first added to the water, which is then passed through a medium of sand under pressure, the rate of filtration being many times moie than in the slow sand filters. A mechanical filter can be operated with a high degree of efficiency as regards purification. This is well exemplified at Chatham, Ontario, where* for Some years mechanical filters have been in operation, the water treated being that of the river Thames.' THE CROPS CLOSE TO AVERAGE. Farmers are not in such bad condition in regard to crops as was anticipatedjdur- ing the cold-dry-hot weather of last summer. Straw is short and' the yield of grain is under average in quantity but of good quality. The hum of the threshing machine is now heard throughout the Fivemile section and 'Hodge' is smiling over the fact that he is reaping more bountifully than he expected. Potatoes and other vegetables are shy somewhat owing to the great drouth and cold snap at the end of summer. It was an offseason, possibly due to the climatic disturbance caused by the swishing of the tail of that heavenly visitant—the comet. TOWN AND DISTRICT. Hugh Cowan is gaining slowly but certainly in health, and expects to go south to receive benefit from warmer climate. The Nelson mineral display at the big Expo held there was the finest yet according to the News. But there was no mention of the Princeton samples. What's the matter ? Dick Soutter has gone to Kamloops on a delicate mission, so the gossips say. Happy days and much }oy to all concerned. Whatever yon do, do not be classed with the knockers. F.

Firemen's Association will hold their annual convention at Cranbrook, B.C., on the 18th and 19th of this month. The subjects fire protection and prevention will have wide consideration, especially as this year has witnessed the destruction of towns and vast areas of timber, besides appalling loss of life. The Association aims to do all in its power to remedy the fire evil. If it were possible to send a delegate from Princeton to the convention it would be a _-tep in the right direction and possibly be the means of solving the very serious problem of fire protection and prevention. Regarding fire protection in Princeton the waterworks now being constructed will give ample water supply. Reorganization of the fire brigade is now urgent. Tbe new provincial liquor law is 'making good' all the time and is proving the soundness of its principle in every instance. To control the liquor business is quite as easy as the control of any other—it all depends on the authorities enforcing the law. Recently the heavy fine of $100 was imposed on the proprietor of the Coldwater hotel at Merritt for not having his blinds in the required position, and a hotel- keeper at Kamloops was fined $100 for giving liquor to a drunken man. Someone is doing his duty. Some of the English railways are abolishing classes in their coaches and everybody travels in one compartment, just as is done on the V.,V. & E. But think of it, a high and mighty lord sandwiched between a printer's devil and a chimney sweep ! It's hawful. It is now stated in the coast papers that Guggenheims have an expert at Steamboat mountain with .a view to acquiring gold mines.
