PER YEAR : $2, Cash Single Copy, 5c DOMINION DAY NOTES Big Crowds But Day Marred by Soaking Rains and Wet Grounds. Sports Were Best Under Weather Conditions for Years and Visitors are Gratified. Owing to rains and storms the Dominion Day sports were greatly handicapped. Baseball and some of the other sports were held on the school grounds on Vermilion Av. instead of the Princeton Racing and Athletic grounds The first event was a bard fought baseball game between Princeton and Keremeos, _sthey won the toss. This was a very exciting gime, full of snappy incidents and bril liant pla.. A large crowd witnessed the game and the tver varying fortunes of the battle received the significant root or fan of the spectators. Princeton won, tjie score standing 3, o. At the close of the game and throughoi)|. rain and slippery ground hampered the sports. The Coalmont team came down to play, but were disappointed in having to wait for tlie following day. The belting was lively on the game. The ball in the evening was a great success, there being over 100 couples present and both Prof. Knight's orchestra and band conductor S. R. Gibson are to be congratulated for the able manner i%n which all arrangements were carried put. The Princeton and District band will benefit approximately $90 from the ball. |i*V Baseball a Leading Feature- On'Tuesday morning Princeton played Coalmont bnt as several of the Coalmont players had left other good players were substitujtejl. The Coalmont lineup was as follows: McDaniell, pitcher; Bartell, .catcher ; M. Dal^J^SHjSse ; T Daly, 2nd: base ; I?. Henderson, 3rd; C. Henderson, short stop; Horswell, right field; Kootz, center, Rash, left. Princeton: petrie, pitcher; Quinn, catcher; Mitchell, ist 'base; McLean, 2nd base ; McKenna, 3rd; •;Cook, right field; Russell, left; Tobsom, _>hort stop; Dignan, centre field. Score, K to 7 in favor of Coalmont. Princeton played a very good game to isbegin with, scoring three runs in the first .innings but fell down towards the <>nd. Coalmont was lucky in being able to obtain the services of Tommy Daly who was at one time star pitcher in Portland, ^Oregon, and is said to rank among professionals. The prize, $100 lies under • protest, but whatever disposition is made of it will, no doubt, be in accord with honor and equity. Spectacular Baces. The Princeton Racing & Athletic As sociation successfully held their first race meeting on the new track and grounds, situated on what is now known as Princetou Heights. Everybody was agreeably surprised to see such a remarkable trans formation from virgin forest to race track and athletic grounds in such sqort time. The heavy rains rather had the effect of improving the track than damaging, for its surface was crusty and smooth, yet resilient to the touch of hoof of flying steeds. The grand stand was packed with the youth, beauty and fashion of Princeton and district, the fair admirers of the 'king of sports' presenting „ pretty sight with the latest modes and colors against the dark green background of pines. The half mile of oval track is graded and levelled and the brush and timber cut off the center affording all the space for future generations to witness famous games and races. In the freeforall race Alexcease won first money, $75; C- Allison, 2nd, $25 The most amusing event of the day was the slow race, won by Dell Young, $10. The cowboy race was interesting and was won by W. Garrison's horse, $20; Geo. Allison, 2nd, $10. The tandem race was a novelty and was won by Tom Tin basket $20; W. Garrison, 2nd, $10. Ladies' Race Very Exciting. The Ladies' race was the leading fea ture of the day and its spectacular effect caused much enthusiasm. The contest ants were Mrs. Eftnj.onds, on a large dark bay hotse and Miss Sinclair on a wild iron grey. From the start the grey began j bucking, the bay leading. The exhibition of bucking continued for more or less half way around the trnck and both ladies showed wonderful horsemansh'p but in the final .flinch the little grey re covered from its bad temper and made up for lost time by reaching the winning post several lengths ahead of the dark bay, the first prize, $10, going to Miss Sinclair. •..'.Xhete was only one real outlaw bucking horse entered in the bucking contes*, owned by Bill Allison, and ridden to a standstill by Tom Melvlile. This horse, old enough toknow.better, kept on bucking down the.track and took to the timber. Other cowbpysVjtried to make their steeds buck but there was nothin' doi _'. Miller was first at the winning stake, $20, followed by Holmes, $10, in the half mile race. Putting the Shot—Angus McDougall, .5; 38 ft. m Strenuous Tugowar. At the close of the sports great excitement was caused over the tugowar, best 2 out of 3, Princeton v The World Tl e lineup was, Princeton : Garrison, Clerf,; Thompson, Dignan, Smith, Chester, Mitchell. Tho World: W. Jameson, J. Jameson, R. Jameson, Allison, Lewis, Marston, Wren. In the first heat Princeton had a comparatively easy victory, but the second was a very hard tussle, Princeton slowly losing ground until the tremeri- dpus cheerings picked the Princeton team up and they recovered their lost ground, finally having a walkover. The Princeton team undoubtedly won both heats although it was much disputed. The beautiful silver cup presented by the A. E. Howse Co., L'd, to the winning team will thus remain iu town. Brieflets- The Princeton District band played excellent selections from their stand near the judges' box. Prof. Gibson has proven his ability to mould musicians out of the untaught state into good players. Qf course there-are competent and seasoned musicians in the band who are the backbone of it but it is the student members] who must be encouraged. The band is to be complimented and congratulated for the important part they took in the celebration. Photographs of some of the principal events were taken by J. T. Priest and will make handsome souvenirs of the celebration. Not an accident nor an incident to mar the occasion. The police had little to do yet doing their duty. In spite of the rain and threatening weather the attendance "from Tulameen, Coalmont, Granite Cree_;,^Hedley and Keremeos was the largest yet and show 'd a fine spirit of friendship and neighbor Iiness—may it always continue. ther con ributions as follows to the Easi Princeton Methodist church : J.

Will you kindly announce in your val. uable columns the opening of the East Princeton MethSotst church. The building will be dedicated by the chairman of the Okanagan district, Rev. Samuel J Green, of Armstrong, B.C., at 3 p.m., followed by the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. We hope to haye,the pleasure of hearing some very able speakers _rom a distance, also local talented ministers from the Anglican and Presbyterian churches. There will be special music rendered by Mrs. S. L. Smith and her gifted daughters of Hedley. Mr. Daly of Keremeos is also expected to play on the_?ipliu. A special service will be held in the Oddfellow|s hall, Princeton, where there will be good music and bright singing. On Tuesday, July 16th, there will be at East Princeton church a chicken supper supplied by the ladies of the district. At 8 p.m. a musical program will be carried out by the above musicians and solos will be rendered by Mrs. J. A. Brown and Miss Daly of Keremeos, whose lovely voices we do not often have the pleasure of hearing. Admission is free to the supper and entertainment. A collection will be taken on behalf of the church building fund. All subscriptions no matter how small, will be gratefully received and acknowledged by the Rey. T. A. Osborne in the local press. Fur- JIM GONE AFISHIN* J. H. Kennedy, engineer of construction on the V., V. & E., was"in town recently, having travelled over the line from Hope to P'riiTwtbrf.' Tbe liue is ready for the contractors but as Jim is having good luck salmon fishing down in New Brunswick it is not improbable that construction will be delayed until he has whipped the last scckeye from Richl- buctoo to PaspebiaC. All right, Jim, if you think we can't do a little fishin' too, and with C.P.R. bait. LOCAL AND GENERAL. J. B.

The Orangemen of Princeton Lodge will celebrate the 12th of July with a program of sports and grand ball The demonstration will be on a large scale, other lodges throughout the district participating. Allan K. Stuart, C.E.,of Hope, walked into town over the Hope trail on Monday last. He says he had a most interesting trip in spite of the wet weather. He is very much taken with the possibilities q. Princeton and expects to put in a month in the vicinity. Miss Burpee, teacher, went to Penticton on Tuesday to spend holidays. Eric Anderson took a run down the line on Tuesday and will probably hear the eagle scream on July 4. ■ _ THE SIMILKAMEEN All the staff of Star being loyal and dutiful subjects of King George celebrated the national holiday, in fact took two holidays. Editors, reporters, bookkeepers, i rinters pressmen and imps are only human 'clay' needing rest and re cuperation the same as the beatifully plumed bird with its eye of innocence and reflected love, or as the hog which requires a siesta to make fat.

W_.B..Marks, well known in Princeton in connection with his popular dancing classes last winter, was in town today coming from the upper Tulameen, where he has betn doing assessment work on a group of five mineral claims. He reports good prospects for a mining boom in that section. Miss Ruby Howse, of Nicola, was a visitor to relatives and friends here during the Dominion Day festivities, travelling with Mrs E. G. Warren who)was summoned to her husband's bedside r s the result of an accident. The passage from Nicola was made in the record time of five hours actual running and this over a rough mountain road at the dead or night. The car is a Russell-Buick driv en by Chauffeur Howse and is the same one reported smashed to smithereens in a flipflop on the Jackson MerrittCoal- mont scenic route. R. W. Morrison, of the bank of Commerce, left last week for New Westminster having been transferred to the branch at that city. During his residence here he made many friends and gave every 9 itisfaction to the bank's patrons. <*<**z**z**i**i*<*<* _~:-K~XK~--"-*"*4~****1 Real Estate, Mines j insurance | For Quick Returns | LIST YOUR RANCHES TOWN LOTS MINERAL PROPERTIES WITH McLean ■§:&."

Editor Star—Sir: An editorial in your issue of the 19th inst. reveals the fact that distance does not lend enchantment in regard to some of the efforts at law making of your cousins, the sons bf your Uncle Samuel. You claim that our Owen bill, if passed, will be a piece of ' class legislation,' then, 'if a citizen whose conscience refuses vaccination or any other prescribed remedy, resists the law he may be thrown into jail. Thus in a country of much boasted freedom it is possible to tyrannize giving legal sanction to all kinds of oppression, including medical, lawyer's and ecclesiastical trust or established church.' You further say, 'the principle of protection or class legislation is at variance with true liberty and that freedom which all intelligent citizens delight in.' Now kindly pardon this rising to explain : That possibly we are not 'intelligent citizens' enough to consider at all freedom and liberty as defined by you. but only pity that partially insane, drunk, [Continued on 6th page.

Passing over the very general criticisms made in the communica- .tion 'A Reader Objects,' Star takes opportunity to deny that the Great Northern railway has ever been discriminated against by the governments of this country in the matter of subsidy. It happens to be in the knowledge of Star that a certain M.P. and a well known lobbyist made an excursion to the Wall street office of the Great Northern president inviting him to apply to parliament for the usual bonus for building railways. President Hill replied that it was against his principles to ask for or accept a bonus. For doing so he has been frequently commended in these -columns and [exalted as a model for Canadian railway presidents. His example is unique id the history of railway financing in this country. What is the most objectionable feature in Mr. Hill's railway policy lies not so much in. downright plunder of the people's money but in exasperating delays in construction. Forever putting off the day when executive ability should be exercised, wearing out the patience and the means of thousands of investors, he seems ever on the verge of doing something yet waiting for the final step. Indifferent as to the needs of the people he toys with time as the boy with bubbles. Although there is nominally a new head to the Great Northern the old master haunts the presidential quarters and the old precrastinating policy remains. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Democrats are as obstrepor- ous and noisy in convention as the Republicans, but is not the national bird somewhat of a noisy rooster about Independence morning. Our congratulations, Mr. Bryan, your 'day' is coming if you live long enough and the American people ever recognize your real worth. SIMILKAMEEN GUIDE-™1"1"* «-;To« istsand Sportsmen.

This principle we apply all along down the line of careless indifference and crime. And we are willing to pay our money to our citizens in any of the walks of life whose duty it is to attend to such matters. There may be some mistakes and abuses of trust among us. But where is there perfection or heaven, on earth, in Canada? It is entirely irrelevant and uncalled for to mention 'ecclesiastical trust or established church' as being our failings. I,ook the other way for your 'intelligent citizens' who have the 'freedom to delight in' the likes o' that. You say 'in Canada there is no whimper of paternalism in government. Every profession or calling is allowed to work out its own destiny on its merits.' Where does the money come from which as subsidy goes into the big pockets of some of your wealthy corporations, the C P.R., for instance.

Money out of Old Earth 'T"rHE probabilities of success in real estate speculation are in pro= ■■■ portion to your faith in the possibilities of a town or country' Princeton has possibilities==some say her possibilities are "illimitable. It would be a blind, unreasonable faith, for one to invest, say, in the great Sahara desert or inside the Arctic circle. It is different with Princeton to most .toy. ns==the position, the possibiMies, the resources all are prima' facie, self=evident==a blind man can see them with his mental eye. Opportunity rarely knocks more than once or twice at your door and lightning never strikes twice in the same place. This analogy illustrates how carefully one should exercise sound judgment in the when, how and whereof investment in real estate. There is land for everyone if the' other fellow does not gobble more than his share. Remember, single tax is coming, and then land values will jump skyward. Princeton is the center of coal, ore and placer mining. Good grazing arid agricultural land. Beautiful climate, fishing, hunting. Two railroads-will afford transportation. Electric light, waterworks, hospital, etc. Write the Princeton Coal & Land Co., or better still, come and see for yourself ^V- \ WRITE OR CONSULT THE Princeton Coal & Land Go. § ^ E.
