East Princeton, Jan. 28 —A petition is being circulated requesting that a post- office be opened in East Princeton. Already a large number of signatures have been obtained and no doubt a postoffice will'be established at once. __. H. Davey, of Salmon Arm, B. C, has bought two lots on Sth avenue and will build soon. The cement spur is all ready for the laying of the steel J. P. Thornber, of Summerland, B. C , recently bought a lot on 7th avenue and intends to build. MINES AND MINING. ■ Voigt camp is the scene of much mining activity. The B C Copper Co is pushing on development andhexploratory work and the results are said to be more than satisfactory. Renewed life and faith in Copper mountain is manifest and the time is fast approaching when owners of mineral properties will s_ll on a reason able basis and contribute to the general output of ore. George M. Gibbs, a mining broker of Vancouver, and others, including Henry K. Owens, of Seattle, and James D Sword, a'mining engineer, who has been a resident of British Columbia for many years, are planning the formation of a C >mgany to establish and operate a plant iu or near Vancouver to m'anufactu c iron and steel. \The properjyi which was located and secure__hy Mr. _>word, is on Louise island, one of The Queen Charlotte group, and includes nine claims, which are adjoining aad which cover approximately 400 acres. The ill effects of the prolonged coal miners' strike are fast disappearing and business is reviving rapidly. The output of the Crow"s Nest Pass Coal Co., is now the largest in the history of the company. At Coal Creek alone the production is between 3,000 and 4,000 tons daily Michel camp is working half time, but No. 8 mine, it is reported will be reopen ed shortly. RAILWAY POINTS. The bridges are all expected to be fin* ished between Princeton and Coalmont by the loth of Februarj. During the year 191*1 the Canadian Pacific railway established 41 new towns in the prairie provinces of Manitol a, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. This year with the large number of new branch lines and extensions, it is probable that the railway will establish more new towns. The C.P R. will double track its line from Vancouver tc Hammond and from Hope to~L(j*n_)iif_. The question of the hour in Hope is "Will the building of the V. V. & E railway be begun this year?" The ques tion can be answered authoritively only by the executave head of the Great Northern railway company. Possibly the matter will be mentioned during the present session of the legislature. Certainly all indications are favorable. White's appreciation sale begins next Monday morning. Don't miss it.

The report of the royal commission on taxation has been made public and its sweeping recommendations will, no doubt, meet with general approval by the taxpayers. When the commission was here one witness strongly denounced the poll tax and the unfair method of assessing all wild lands without regard to distinctive values. The commission wipes out the poll tax and will have wild lands assessed on a valualation consistent with equity and fairness. The suggestion made to the commission when in Princeton that individual wedth should not exceed $50,000, over that amount being subject to confiscation by tire state, seem to have been tacitly agreed to by the adop tion of a supertax on ail in excess of that amount. Considered from an economic viewpoint the commission has rendered a great service in that it has freed the poor of chafing tax burdens and placed them where they will be least felt ; from just, moral and socialistic standpoints tbe benefits will tend to minimize hardship and discontent. Following is summary of recommendations: At Victoria on Monday last the legislature received the report of the royal commission on taxation which sat -in Princeton on Saturday, 14th Octr. last. With the consent < f the legislature the report proposes to abolish the poll tax ; the personal property tax and the tax on im prcvements ; to. increase the exemption .on incomes to $1500 with $200 additional for each child uuder 18 years, and an additional $1500 where the income is de rived wholly from agriculture ; it pro poses the readjustment of the income tax with a supertax on incomes above ^50, 000 ; the readjustment of succession duties with an increase in the case ef large estates ; a reduction in the coke tax from 15 to 10 cents per ton ; a thorough reassessment of the province with periodical reassessments and an increase in the staff of assessors. It recommends the assessment of wild Jand at its actual value and anticipates a possible reduction in the rate of taxation all round after new and complete assessment rolls have been prepared. SCIENCE AND INVENTION. One-Thousand Foot Ship Is Ordered.—It is stated by a high official of lie White Star Company that an order has been definitely placed with Harland & Wolff, Belfast, for the construction of a ship of the ''Adriatic" type, which will be one thousand feet in length. The vessel will be driven at 18 knots by a combination of reciprocating engines and turbines. She will have a ratio of beam to length of one to ten, and therefore her breadth will be 100 feet If the ship sails to this port she must dock at South Brooklyn, where alone are piers of sufficient length to accommodate her. Telephoning From England To Switzerland.—The American consul at Birmingham reports that the completion of a new submarine! cable between Eng land and France has resulted in the sue cessful telephonic transmission of messages between Great Britain and Switzerland. Satisfactory commercial conversations are now carried on between England and Geneva, via Paris and Lyons, and with Basel, via Paris and Belfort. :s_9__or4rs The Endurance Op Spanis_9_Ior3es —The American consul at Jerez de- la Fronteia, the most noted center for horse breeding in Andalusia, ascribes the well known toughness and endurance of the horses of that region in part to the dim ate, but principally to their feeding on a rich wild clover, called "zulla," which grows only in tlf ."province of Cadiz, and which is claimed to be the fineSt food in the world for horses. It is never culti vateii bui grov s wild, to a lieigth of 3 to 4 feet, preferring the same chalky or clayey scil that produces the famous Jerez, or sherry, wines. CEMENT FURNITURE. Some time ago the startling announcement was made that Thomas A. Edison was working on a scheme for "pouring concrete houses," in other words, that he planned to set up forms for a practically complete house, and cast the house in these forms by pumping them full of very fluid concrete mixture. Thus, in about 21 days, which is the time estimated it would take for the complete house to be cast, not only would the walls, floors and roof be in place, but even decorations, cornices, but bath and laundry tubs and plumbing. While this scheme Las not yet fully materialized, Mr. Edison is making considerable progress with it, and in the meantime has conceived the idea of building furniture of concrete, for use in bis concrete houses, the advantage of con. crete furniture lying in its cheapness. He has already built a sample piece of furniture It is a phonograph cabinet, finished with white enamel and gold trim The harsh grain that we associate with ordinary concrete structures is missing, and the cabinet compares very favorably with expensive wooden cabinets. The cost of this cabinet is but #10. Mr. Edison explains that this will not be the telling price, and he does not venture to name the store price of the cabinet, and he has no idea how much the middle man may require for his share of tbe profits. In order to test the ability of this piece of furniture to stand the rough handling of freight men, he recently sent the furniture to Chicago and back. He explains that it is not necessary to have a white finish on all concrete furniture, but that it may be stained to look exactly like any kind ot wood. When Mr. Edison reaches success with his concrete houses and is able to build them for $t,o6byHe[expectsto be able to completely furnish such a house with concrete beds, tables, etc., at about $200. sffp&S^ ?

They took him to a deer lick which was well known by them, and he was induced lo take a •sample of the deposit back to New York with him. It was analysed and found to contain salt, whi_b_ the^Indians thought _>__~me_icine. The New vortc gentleman haTUeen dead some years, and the locality is unknown. The deposit is a brown earthy material, and will no doubt be found on a sibehill where is it protected by a covering of clay or sandstone. As the deposit is highly soluble in water, it is probably in the dry belt of British Columbia. An easy test would be to weigh a pound of earth-and put in water. The water should take np the salt in the earth and leave a residue equal to one quarter of the original sample. Any information which would lead to the discovery of the deposit will be rewarded by the payment of the sum of $500 by Chas. F. Law, Box 116, Vancouver, B. C. SPECIALS.

Williamson & Turner AGENTS, COALflONT, B.C, V A January 24, 1912 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR POULTRY ASSOCIATION. The British Columbia poultry association closed its second annual meeting at a well attended banquet last Thursday with speeches reviewing a successful year. Cooperation had been found to work out well and addresses given under the au spices of the provincial department of agriculture in different parts of the province were much appreciated and pro duced good results. A number of associations were formed during the past year and several applications not dealt with were now on file. Affiliation with these new associations imposed a financial bur den on the British Columbia association which it will be the duty of the incoming board of directors to provide for It would appear that the government would be asked to make a larger grant for the promotion of the poultry industry. In support of the request from the association it can be pointed out that tbe production of eggs and other poultry products has doubled within the past year. L. T.
