Vol. XII. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, \9\\. No. 49. WANTS MORE TIME Kettle Valley Railway Co. will Apply to Government for Delay. Penticton Municipal Council andBoard of Trade Ask Cooperation of Princeton People. The following letter addressed to 'His Worship, the Mayor and Council,' iu the belief that Princeton was incorporated, which, of course, it is not, is published without comment for the information of the public. Whether action in the matter is taken or not the public must be the arbiters of their own interests and decide whether they would or would not be benefitted by the delay asked for iu the construction of the Kettle Valley railway. The Kettle Valley line has already- been under construction several year- and is in receipt of some $10,000 per mile subsidy from the Dominion and provincial governments: Gentlemen.—At a special meeting of the council of the corporation—__L_Pen- ticti<_tT_feld in the municipal offices on November 27th, 1911, the Resolution at tached hereto was moved, seconded and passed unanimously, and I am instructed by said council to request your honorable body will endorse this resolution by passing a similiar resolution asking that the governuitnt will, not^grant the said railwa"y-__y-______p-extension of time for the completion of their lines. Your earnest consideration of this important matter is most respectfully solicited. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant. J. Gardner, Mun. Clerk. RESOLUTION. ' That whereas, The Kettle River Valley Railway has entered into an agreement made on the se_Qnd^c_ty-_f May, 1911, with the District Municipality of _?en- ticton to (a) build its line of railway through Penticton (b) make_Egnticton a divisio__t~-p_i_„ on said railway (c) to construct necessary roundhouses, machine shops, etc., and (d) commence actual construction of said railway through Penticton within two months from the date thereof and to proceed expeditiously with all due despatch with construction of said railway and to complete the said railway and works in this lnunincipality within the time specified. And whereas, in our opinion the said railway has not proceeded with the said works and construction expeditiously and with all due despatch and commenced active construction of the said railway within the time agreed upon. And whereas, a large amount of capital has been invested in Penticton and district in various business enterprises, in expectation of the construction of the said railwa> within the time agreed upon. And whereas, the District Municipality of Penticton has paid the Kettle River Valley a large bonus and granted certain exemptions and privileges as consideration under the above agreement for the speedy construction of the said railway and works and within the time specified As whereas, a notice has appeared in the "Penticton Herald" to the effect that the said railway intends Io apply to the forthcoming session of the Parliament of Canada for an extension of lime for the completion of its lines and branches under construction. And whereas, the granting of any ex- tention of time for the construction and completion of the said railway will mean a'heavy loss to the fruit growers, business men and others in this town and district. Now, therefore be it resolved, that the Federal Government of Canada, and the Legislature of this Province be respect fully asked not to grant any extension of time tor the construction and completion of the said Kettle River Valley railway under construction.' The extension of time-required by the Kettle Valley Railway appears in an advertisement in the Penticton Press which reads : ' and extending tne time within which it may construct the railways and branches which it has been heretofore authorized to construct.' EAST PRINCETON NOTES. East Princeton.—W. H. Carsly has finished up a neat cottage on ninlth ave. The pile driver finished the approach to the north end of the Similkameen bridge yesterday. The machine will be trove 1 to the first bridge on tha'oneinile creek and will have the safall bridges ready for the steel at the sa_ie time as fhe la'ge one. ¥-•'• i- The big fill leading to the bridge was fihished on Saturday night. E. P. Gaillac, Supt. of the United Empire coal mine returned on Saturday from a short visit to Spokane. The B. C. Portland Cement Company have commenced work on the foundations for the machinery which is to be installed in the factory. Some of the machines are now on the road. M. Irwin has been appointed temporary _gi_i _£V for the Great Northern at he stationTTere, taking trre~-pl_ce of H. C. Snyder, resigned, who goes to Michigan. J. H. Drurnrnond, recently of Grand Forks and Fernie, has accepted a position with the A. E. Howse Co. G. H. Whiteman has received a position in the office of the Princeton Coal & Land Co. and will be a citizen of ' no mean city.' MINES AND MINING Silver-Lead-Zinc Industry will Receive Attention of B.C. Members. Princeton Coal & Land Co's Extensive Improvements—Mining on the Whipsaw. Three coal mine s, D. Wurmirovitch, a Servian, aged 25; R. Dishart, Scotchman, aged 28 and Alex. Thompson, aged 17; were suffocated on Sunday night at Middlesboro mines. The Princeton Coal & Land Co. are now in the midst of great changes and improvements which involve a complete installation of modern mining machinery. When all is in order the facilities for coal mining will be first- class and a large increase in tonnage output result. New buildings include an uptodate machine shop where custom work will be done and repains /made for the mine. Superintendent Holden expects to have the new equipment in full operation in a few days. Samples of silver lead ore from the Lueky Pair mav be seen at the Star mineral department. -B.C. members of parliament will take action to obtain legislation for encouragement of the silver lead-zinc industry. As work proceeds on the Lucky Pair at Whipsaw camp the ore improves. Samples recently taken from the face of the tunnel show concentration and now the galena appears in well defined ribs or veinlets. At present there are about twenty feet of depth from the surface, the oxidization being less marked with the increase of definite ore values. Development work will be pushed by Knight & Day all winter and their bin will then contain a large amount of valuable ore. A GREAT HIGHWAY. Altho the Canadian Highway Association has only been in existence for one month, the work it has accompished in this short spHce of time is conclusive proof that the organization will be an important factor in the development cf this country by the building of good roads. Letters of encouragement have been received by the officers from many cities in the east, and from Hazelton, Dawson and Alberni, the latter the western terminus of the proposed Canadian highway. W. W. Foster, Deputy Mipinister of Public Works, in a letter tcj^W. J. Kerr, Prgsident of the association, outlines the following route as the most practicable for the construction of British Columbia's portion of the Canadian highway: Al berni to Victoria via Nanaimo; Vancouver Westminister, Hope, Princeton, Rossland thence to Trail, crossing the Columbia by the new bridge now in course of construction, and via Summit Creek, along the old Dewdney trail to Crestou, thence following the main trunk road into Alberta. While this route cannot be considered final until all the reports from the surveyors and engineers have been submitted to the Department of Public Wotks, it is not likely that any import- any deviation will be made By his reference in his speech from the throne at the opening of the house of commons on November 16th, His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught put the stamp of royal approval on the plan to construct a Canadian highway that will stretch from coast to coast. His in- tifaation that the federal and provincial governments would work hand in hand with a view to improving the highways of Canada has already been of great assistance to ihe men who are taking an active part in the work of the Canadian Highway Association, showing as it does that it only needs proper representation to the authorities in order to secure at once the commencement of this great national enterprise. LOCAL AND GENERAL. A Christmas entertainment for the children of the Presbyterian Sunday school will be held on Friday evening, Dec 23 Keep this date open. Fuller particulars later. Skating at the Owl began today and this popular pastime is now in full swing. R. Fitzgeyald came down from the heads of ninemile and Granite Creeks, where he has been U«f{_3ing, having caught four lynx ajfd a fisher. The weather has beetymild. Deer in large numbers have been loitering about southern slopes of the mountains where there is not much snow and feed easily obtained. He thinks that the fact of deer remaining so high up at this time of year indicates an open win er He found the snow too light for good snow-shoeing. Do your Christmas shopping early and relieve the workers of any strain or rush during the immediate holiday season. The road now being constructed by the Princeton Coal & Land Co. to reach their property on the benches is in a forward state and will aflVrd a fiine view of the varied scenery around and in the town. The game warden, C. Schisler, has been on the alert for infrklgement of the Game Act and mad< seizure of a fawn about to be sent oert of the country. Mr. Schisler is determined to put an end to illegal hunting. Hockey is again coming to the fore and there is plenty of'timber' here for a good club.

More in pity than in shame will labor bow its head over the disgrace caused by the startling confession of the McNamara brothers at Los Angeles. It is a blot on all humanity that moral conditions are such as to make it possible for the leaven of crime to work stealthily in labor unions or in the highest financial and society circles, ending always in ghastly climax on the scaffold or in felon's cell Labor loses none of its dignity because blatant demagogues and villains are found occasionally in its ranks. No true unionist will falter through the misdeeds of his fellows; on the contrary he will wage war of extermination on every suggestion ■of wrongdoing within his particular sphere of influence and with greater vigor than ever fight for that unionism whose principles are founded ou liberty, justice, brother hood. VIRTUES OF THE ONION. Onions are really sweeteners of the breath after the local effects have passed away, as they correct j^omach-d-tsorders and carry off the accumulated poisons^ of of the sys__ST They provide a blood purifie.r____iat all may freely use, ana do perfect work in constipation troubles. As a vermifuge, the onion cannot be surpassed, and eaten raw will often check a violent cohj in 111. ]]?pA One small onion eaten before retiring every night is a well-known dpctor's prescription for numero.us affections of thehead, and is highly recommended for sleeplessness It acts on the nerves in a soothing way, without the injurious ffects of the drugs often applied. The heart of the onion heated and placed in the ear will often relieve the agony of ear ache, while the syrup produced ftoth sprinkling a sliced onion with sugar aud baking is said to work wonders in a croupy child.—Selected $*X**X*<*<<**X**X<**X**X*^^^ Y Y Y m t i f f A 1 i Rich Resources SURROUNDING SCIENCE AND INVENTION. Hon. Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, will move for a commission to inquire into the conditions of agriculture throughout the Dominion. In the Similkameen there is much need of scientific farming. Horse, cattle, sheep, hog and poultry raising are capable of immense improvement and expan sion here, saving many a thousand dollars now finding its way into foreign pockets. THE B.C. YEAR BOOK. 'The Year Book of British Columbia' recently issued, reflects the highest credit upon the compiler, R. E. Gosnell. Having ably filled the editorial chair on the Vancouver News-Advertiser over twenty years ago, Mr. Gosnell has done much public work for governments and cities qualifications which fit him for the im. portnant work under review. One °f the most interesting sections of the work is the historical review, which tells all about the early history of the Province. The information with regard to the natural wealth of B. C. should prove very interesting, and the story of the progress of the Province will no doubt surprise those who have not bten in a position to secure authentic information on this point. It is now eight years since Mr. Gosnell issued his last Year Book, and a great many important events have trans p'.red in this Province since that time. In his present publication, containing about 360 pages, the publisher has completely Road Machine--This invention pro: vides a scraping blade and supporting frame connected directly with the draft tcm or mechanism;-provides carrying wheels and means for varying their angle of opeation; provides for the carrying wheel supporting table the op eratioh whereof serves to vary the lift of the body by adjustment of the said wheels; provide carrying wheels and ■mechanism'therefor whereby the same may be thrned to vary the angle of a srraping blad_; and "provides carrying wheels and body structure adapting the machine to be turned upon a self-made enter. The Great Inventor, Edison, On S „EEP.—Many people sleep too long, and over-sleeping, contrary to accepttd ideas, so far from being refreshing, renders one sluggish and slothful. Hard work, work in which you are thoroughly in erested, is more stimulating and re freshing than sleep for sleep's sake. For thirty years I slept only four hours a day an 1 I have had lots of assistants at var ious limes that did the s.ame thing We all felt fine. Big Fortunes in Little Inventions. —The patent for a typewriter lay dormant for half a centuary in France be fore it ever came into use. Then a man by the name of Sholes made a machine iu this country and called it Remington. Another man named Brown made a different kind of a typewriter and called it the Smith. The patantees immortalized other men by their work. They made millions and also made it much more pleasant for the editor who has to read copy. The man who invented tin cans made it necessary for somebody to invent an opener. This was done and the money corralled. A can openar is not a laborious thing in using, but the public is always ready to pay for things that are made easier. So, just recently, an inventive genius made a can with a seam just below the top and when the owner wants it open he has but to strike it a blow where the seam breaks and the top is off. A single Chicago packer ordered ten millions of these cans as an experiment and others followed suit. The in ventor has a fortune, and the thirg is but just begun.

The United Empire Co. is shipping a Iig= nite coal of the best quality and is developing immense copper deposits, requiring large re= duction works and several hundred employees. The Princeton Coal & Land Co. is increasing its daily shipments to 300 tons of coal, providing employment to about 150 men. Other coal companies are spending over $2,000,000 in development, and will give work to at least 1,000 men. For transportation, East Princeton will have, in the near future, the Great Northern and the Kettle Valley lines, both of which, will pass through the townsite.
