Vol. XI. No. 28. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1910. $2 a Year in Advance PRINCETON EN FETE Dominion Day Duly Honored —Sister Towns Join in Gaieties. Wins Cup Shooting, Loses Baseball, but Recovers in Races—Crowd Biggest Tet. With the royal salute of twenty-one guns at 5:30 a.m. on Dominion Day began the most memorable celebration ever held in Princeton. The weather was perfeit up to mid afternoon, then a scudding shower drove the crowds to shelter, after which the sports continued to the finish. Nothing transpired during the day to mar the social and patriotic occasion and everybody went away feeling that it was good to be there. From over the mountains, up the valleys and down the draws came a throng of courijry cousins while a train load of Oroville, Keremeos and Hedley excursionists swelled the crowd to large proportions. Band Flayed Well, Also Ball Team. Nothing but pleasant memories remain of the day for all those who were willing to enter into the spiri' of the occasion and who wanted Io be happy and make others happy also. Our Washington visitors added much to the enthusiasm of the occasion, in fact, without the Oroville contingent of band, baseball team s and the fraternizing ladies and gentlemen accompanying, it would have been difficult to realize the expectations of the officials and committees regarding the net results and success of the whole affair. While the Oroville baseball team did well and won a very decisive victory it is to the band that most Princetonians will accord the generous meed of praise. The music was fine and of course there was no opportunity for betting on it, as on the ball game—the band was a general favorite and will be a welcome guest of the coal and ore metropolis at any time in the future. In the trapshooting contest Princeton won by a score of 76 to 49 for Hedley, the Shatford cup thus remaining with Priuceton. In the individual shooting contest E. Waterman won first prize, $25; E. Richter, 2nd, $15 ; A. E. Irwin, 3rd, $10. Sports Keenly Competed. In the athletic sports competition was keen and the winners earned their money in each event. Beginning in the forenoon the first item was a boy's race won by Oren Knight; 2nd, Tommy Bromfield; girls' race, Grace Norman, Mary Semerad ; theee legged race, Ryder and Richter, Corrigan and Smith ; boys' three legged race, Mills and Knight, McLean and Holmes. Hop-step-and-jump, is^ Vic Ryder; 2nd, Horace Brewer; running long jump, V. Ryder, H. Brewer; 100 yards dash, F. A. Bluett, Gus Clerf; 220-yards dash, D. G. McCurdy, Jack Smith; putting the shot, Bob Jamieson, H Brewer. In the horse races, freeforall, first money was taken by Moose, owned by P. Burns Co.; 2nd, Baker's black mare. Saddle horse race, first, C. Summers' JLoattiew Cowboy race, first, C. Summers' Johnny Bull. Consolation race, first, Charlie Murdock. The credit for the success of the celebration must be chiefly given to the general committee of citizens who planned the whole affair and to the untiring energies of Chairman Lumsden and Secretary Carmichael. Admitting that the baseball match was lopsided, due largely to our boys being unpractised, the materiel of the home .team is fully equal to that of the visitors. Pitcher Farrell simply outclassed his rival from Oroville but he lacked support from untrained fielders. It is believed that the Princeton team could easily win from the visitors with some hard practise. Popular Journalist in Crowd. Among the Oroville contingent was that veteran of the west, Frank M. Dallam, pioneer journalist and politician He is editor of the OroVHle*'Gazi(!le7 a paper that reflects all the news in terse, well written articles and was the founder of the Spokane Spokesman Review, now one of the most influential papers in the ■northwest. Mr. Dallam positively refuses to be old, is just 63 years young, and takes as much fnn out 01' baseball as when he twirled the sphere or flung the bat as a starter on a home tun. He is pleased with Priuceton and is quite optimistic as to its resources and future Mr. Dallam has a host of friends in his state and is a possible senaigk.in tht nextelec- tions. After looking over the machinery of the Star and chatting with its imp he said goodbye, leaving the impression behind that though a boundary line separates it cannot prevent friendly associations. Come again, Bro. Dallam. When the ball favored, the hair-lifting cheers of the Orovillians seemed to just naturally wither the hopes and ambitions of our fellows. 'What gr^atjhests and/Hnpgs those ladies have,' said a. spec-: tator, pointing to the cheering Americans. o\Ak# Cheering seems to be a 'lost art' with us. It is inspirational and ought to be cultivated. J. A. Brown of Keremeos was umpire of the ball game and gave satisfaction to both winners and losers. HSe is probably the first umpire in history [to placate the feelings of all concerned. Huston Bros, did a fine stunt in the decoration of the band wagorj with the Continued on 3rd page. THE BOARD OF TRADE Need of Publicity and Ore Exhibits to Attract Capital to District. Board will Act in Respect of Better ■ Court Facilities.—Athletic Grounds Endorsed. The regular monthly meeting of the Princeton Board of Trade was held Monday evening. After routine communi cations were lead as follows : From Judge Tunstall,- expressing ap- preciatioii of the .President's invitation to attend a meeting of the board. He savs: I occupied for many years the position of goid commissioner for the Similkameen mining division, in whose prosperity I feel very much interested. From the Publicity Department of the Vancouver Fxhibition Association urging mineral display. The exhibition will be opened by Sir Wilfrid Laurier on Aug. 16th and will continue for five days. From H. B. Brown, Hedley, stating that in connection with the traffic department of the Great Northern railway he ii gathering a line of ore samples to be exhibited at Vancouver and New Westminster fairs and then some of the samples will go east for office display. He savs that if 'we can get our ores exhibited and get as many boosters as possible for the Similkameen we can hold other sections level.' He states that he will be in this section soon to make ore collections. Mineral Exhibits Advertise. From L. K. Armstiong, superintendent of mineral department, Spokane Interstate Fair, replying to a letter from Secretary Avery re mineral exhibit from P inceton district. He says : 'I think that the recent opening of your country by the extension of the Great Northern railway system will greatly advantage you if you give the country and resources the publicity which they deserve. With your coal, copper, and gold mines and your other mineral prospects it is an attractive field for investment of capital. I shall be pleased to keep iu touch with you and would urge tlytt you make the mineral collection comprehensive, sending photos, maps, data, etc' The question of increased court facilities was brought to the notice of the board. It was pointed out that instead of county court being held twice a year as at present it should be held quarterly. The necessity for an assize court in the Similkameen riding is also apparent. The secretary was instructed to obtain further information to be laid before the board next meeting. The movement to procure suitable grounds for a race track, athletic sports, games, picnics and park purposes met with the hearty endorsation of the members of the board. On motion Percy E. Rowlands was elected a member of the board. Board adjourned. COAL BARON—WHEAT KING. W. L. Parish and family atrived last week from Winnipeg and are now at Granite CrSek. He is secretary-treasurer ■OT the Columbia Coal & Coke Co., owners of some 5000 acres of coal and other lands on the North Fork of Granite creek and on the Tulameen river. The coal is coking and suitable for blacksmith's use. It is estimated there are 120,000,000 tons in the measure. Mr. Parish is a grain broker and partner in the Western Canada Flour Co. THE SHERRYS. High class comedians, musicians, dancers and musical sketch artists. Don't fail to see them in their latest comedy play, entitled "Jackson's Honeymoon," "The Night Before Election," "Breaking Into Vaudeville." Each one a scream. The Sherrys have been on the road for years and have built up a reputation that is all the recommendation they require. Latest songs, new music, good dancing and clever magic. No waits. Your money back if not satisfied. At the Oddfellow's Hall, Wednesday, July 13. A social dance after the show. A.i music. RAILWAX RUMORS. It is learned from the coast that Jim Hill will build a branch line down the Coldwatex~to-Merritt to get his share of the coal tonnage and as a checkmate to the C.P.R. It is also reported that a big push will be made as soon as steel is laid to Tuiameen and that the V.,V. & E. will be in Merritt in twelve months. In view of the fact that the C.P.R. will tap Princeton through the Kettle Valley line, it is not surprising to learn of the Great Northern stretching out to the rich Nicola valley. TOWN AND DISTRICT. The Similkameen hotel, owned by A. B. Fowler ^Co.^will be fully equipped for the reception of guests on Monday next. At present 100ms only are available. Chas. Camsell, Dominion geologist, is at work with his party on Granite creek. H. H. Avery has let the contract to A. E. Fowler for the erection of a building 50x50 on the corner of Fenchurch Av. and Bridge St. The structure will contain three stores, is one story with 12-foot ceiling. A public meeting will be held in the court house on Friday evening next, 8th inst., at 8 p.m., to consider ways and means of securiug grounds suitable for race track and athletic sports. All citizens interested ate expected to attend. J •ST "IP! |PflPPPPS»WW —r THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR July 6, 1910. ;'■' The Similkameen Star. J. M.

One thing which roust have been forcibly impressed upon all who attended the celebration on Dominion Day was the lack of suitable grounds for the proper carrying out and exhibition of the various events on the program. Tbe first consideration is good and handily located grounds for 'staging' the usual sports, races and games at celebrations, picnics or other demonstrations, and secondly, provision for the comfort and convenience of the spectators, which includes sheltered seating, booths, closets, water, &c. Without the grounds, no matter how attractive tbe program may be, there cannot be a due appreciation of the events, and the occasion loses much of its spectacular interest. More important still is the handicap put upon all performances and games by the poor condition of grounds. And the fact of onlookers having to stand throughout a long program is wearisome enough to unfit one for,any enjoyment or pleasure. If Princeton, is to maintain a good reputation for celebrations it must immediately provide a race track and athletic grounds within the town, iimifs or as close as possible to it. It is now in order to call a public meeting and discuss the whole question of park reservation and athletic grounds. better guess at facts than the Guardian scribe ought to be under the guardianship of the Society for the propagation of truth. A 'dozen shanties,' and 'spruce clearing.' This borders on villification and Star demands retraction with humble apology. The jay who serves miscellaneous hash on the Guardian should come to Princeton and give bis readers some columns of fact regarding the wonderful resources of this district, thus pointing the English investor to wealth and prosperity. Try again, Guardian. I We have money A. E. IRWIN CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER Estimates Given Workmanship Guaranteed Jobbing Work Promptly Attended to As an instance of the.(smote corners of earth to which Star sooner or later finds it way the following clipping from the Guardian, a weakly paper printed in one of the back townships of England at a place called Manchester, will readily show. It says : ' Princeton, a city of a dozen shanties set in a spruce clearing at the confluence of the Similkameen and Tu(l)ameen rivers in the extreme south of British Columbia, publishes a tjaii/v newspaper of two sheets, and. has done so for eleven years past. The Similkameen Star in a recent issue recorded the arrival of the first regular train at Princeton, which pulled into the station (we are told) containing quite a number of passengers. The prolonged tootaloot of the whistle announced the arrival of the train as she sailed into the depot,' &c, &c. 'Princeton a city of a dozen shanties set in a spruce clearing' is rich, if highly inaccurate and imaginative. Any newspaper editor who could not make a K. C.
