Goldsborongh has been doing a . lot of necessary work on the main trunk road toward Hedley with his gang of skilled roadbuilders. The cribbing on the riverside and the revetment work on the upper side of the road near Holmes' flat are of substantial workmanship and will will preserve the roadbed. The ."loop" below Bromley's has been cut out and a troublesome piece of road thus done away. Foreman Goldsborongh will put in a bridge at the "36" on the Hope irail, something that travellers will appreciate. Foreman Gibson has started work on the Five-Mile road with a, gang of practical men in this line. G. Murdoch is building a road to his ranch by which a much lighter grade will be obtained than bv the old route. OPTIMISM THAT COUNTS. ,L. A. Mnnley, ot Mauley & Swanson, proprietors of the Great Northern hotel, was in town a few days recently on a business visit. He has large interests in various parts of the country, at present making his headquarters *in Coleman, Alberta. He repons the wheat crop at 1'incher, in that section, as averaging 45 bushels to the acre. Coalman is noted for coal and its product, coke. Business is good; The people are prosperous. He predicts similar conditions, only on a larger scale, when, the payroll reaches Princeton. With the vast diversified resources tributary to it the outlook is very encouraging. Mr. Manley suits action to his word. The enlargement "f the Great Northern to double its capacity, with good accommodation for all classes of travellers, proves that Messrs. Manley & Twanson have an abiding faith in the lown. Other improvements and other investments will be made by the firm as the times warrant. LABOR DAY AT HEDLEY. The Labor Day celebration at Hedley was a grand success and was witnessed by visitors from all over the district and as far away as Spokane. The rock drilling contest proved the most interesting event, being won by Griffin and Trimble, 30 5-16ins., $150 ; second, Bowerman aud Cpnnolly, 24 15-16 ins ,'$50 ; third, Carlson and Waddell, 23^ inches. The last team was unfortunate in having much broken steel. In baseball Hedley won 5, Princeton, o; Hedley, 7, Nighthawk, o. In the horse races Garrison's Baldy showed a clean pair of heels to them all and brought back to Princeton'a nice bunch .of prize monev. Dame . Fortune smiled on a couple of the bo}rs and all things considered Priuceton made good at the sports. RECO, SOON A MINE Trials of Patience and Ingenuity in Developing This Mine. Tunnel Would Greatly Assist in De velopment and Production on Copper Mountain. ■ Messrs. Avery & Avery report that all the houses on their list for rent have been taken. Inquiries for others have been received. i Development work on the Reco, Copper Mountain, is ' still)) in progress after about two years of continuous work. The difficulties and obstacles encountered are but a repetition, of the history of all mining effort in advance of the railway, Discouragement in unforseen natural conditions of the ground that might have been obviated with the aid of machinery and disheartening delays arising from various 'causes were met with in the work on the Reco. But the perseverance and energy with which the superintendent, J. E. McCauley, has prosecuted the work leaves no room to doubt that a great mine will be found if tbe indications are trustworthy and he carries out proposed operations. ; -■-■ : The tunnel on which Mr. McCauley has concentrated his hopes and most of his labor is now driven 230 feet. The country rock was of almost impenetrable hardness, defying steel in a very provoking way. Good ventilation was also a hindrance to progress. ! In another 10 or 12 feet Mr. McCauley expects to tap the lead of the Reco which outcropped 175 feet farthei up the moun- tiin. Mining men and others who have visited the Reco speak in very hopeful terms of the prospect. Some tfiink»it will prove to be the means of adding much fame and substantial prestige to the whole of Copper Mountain as a mining region. Now that water power has been secured the feasibility of driving a large working tunnel under Copper Mountain as its view presents is admitted generally. No engineering difficulty stands in the way. And to finance the undertaking would seem to be a comparatively easy thing when the mineral zone tapped is almost sure to be exceedingly remunerative. The tunnel proper would be 2600 feet in length from the Similkameen river at Ashnola and it is estimated to cost $250,- 000. The installation of electric power and Burleigh drills would be necessary; Of course a detailed estimate would be made by an engineer arid all the data gathered to make it an absolutely safe investment. Mr. McCauley will be pleased to enter into communication with owners of mining property on Copper Mountain with a wiew to getting this tunnel completed and in operation as soon as*possible. THE BOARD OF TRADE 1 | j —— Big Budget of Correspondence Increases Labors of the: Board Scribe. Incorporation of Princeton Subject of Enquiry—Road to Cemetery Needs Grading. ' »:.$* The Board of Trade meeting Monday, evening was' well represented and matters of importance were discussed and disposed of. Routine business being dismissed the following communications were read by Secretary Marlow : j ; From Duncan Ross, M.P., referring to telephone agency ; from Secretary R. H. Gosgrove, of the Spokane Interstate Fair,, inviting exhibits; from F. W. Groves, C.E., M.E., P.I. S-. urging necessity of a good mineral exhibit at Spokane Fair ; from News-Advertiser, receipting copy for booklets ; from C. S. Stevens, re telephone ; from J. O.

Fry, Secretary of the Canadian Agency, Limited, 6,jj Princess St., London, I.,C, ihquiring;for information with a view to placing capital in Princeton district; from Heaton's Agency, Toronto, requesting information about Princeton tor publication in a handbook. On motion, communications were ordered fyled to be ' dealt with later by the executive committee and the assembled Board. The subject of incorporation of Princeton was again revived, upon which the secretary was advised to communicate with the Provincial Secretary respectfully requesting such information as deemed proper for the preliminary and subsequent.steps necessary in so important an undertaking. On motion the Secretary was further advised to indite a few words to D. Ross, M.P., expressing regret that he did not treat the Board with due courtesy by not accepting its recommendation regarding a telephone agent here, after the Board had been invited to make an appointee. The question of a road to the burial ground was relegated to the Secretary with instructions to' write L. W, Shatford, M.P.P. Board adjourned. OCTOGENARIAN KILLED. ;The accidental death of Henry Wood- Wjard. one of the earliest settlers in Nicola, at the advanced age of 87 years, will be learned with ;;sorrow by a very wide circle of friends.^ The deceased gentleman was residing at Kamloops and while passing along the railroad was struck with a tram and instantly killed. At the inquest no blame was attached to the tijain hands . or 1 anvone. -Deceased was- quite deaf and despite warnings continued to walk on the track until the fatal occurrence. He leaves a large f4mily, of whom Mrs. F. P. Cook of this- town is a member; and who has the sympathy of many friends. Information tp the effect that active operations will soon be resumed on the United Empire mining property has reached this office within the past few days. Th e United Empire. Co. has a large Extent of ore and coal opened. The object of tbe present work is, it is understood, to place the mine in a shipping condition at the earliest date rendered possible by the completion of the V.,V. & E. railway. V "WESTWARD HO!"

ACCIDENT ON TRUNK ROAD. What might easily have been a very- serious accident occurred to a load of' Priucetonians returning ftom the Hedley sports. In making the "loop" below Bromley's the curve proved too short/ for high speed, overturning the heavy. rig and spilling the occupants like a. "quart of mussels." Nearly all were- more or less injured, the most serious- case being that of "Bobbie" Stevensorrj. whose life was threatened by very severe- contusions and a dislocated shoulder. He was taken to Hedley and is reported, to be making rapid recovery. The team attached to the rig broke loose and ran' full tilt into a gig occupied by Hughie- Campbell and Angus Damont. Hugh' lit like an autumn leaf on the ground' but Angus was not so fortunate and received a few bruises., Thus were these three old tillicums, all nearly seventy years old, thrown out of their rigs and; escaped with their lives. Many friends- throughout the province will be glad to know that these old Cariboo golddiggers- are still in the flesh after their untoward adventures. C. M. Shaw, P.L.S., has gone up the- line of the V.,V. & E. to do- some important work for the Great Northern, after which he has some long delayed, work at Welldo. \_.

One hears all kinds of reasons and excuses for the delay in constructing the V.,V. & E. It is due to the Presidential elections ; it is attributed to the "squeeze" Uncle Jim got while wrestling with the Northern Securities and his great competitor and enemy, Hard man ; it is alleged that Hill wants legislation to enable him to go south into Washington after leaving Princeton ; these and many other conjectures are given out. That some scheme for the benefit of the political grafter will be launched at the next session of the Ottawa house is very probable. If there is anything a grafter will smack his lips over it is a railway bonus and the idea is prevalent that the Great Northern is now only marking time on construction for the opportunity to obtain a subsidy as the C.P.R. does. Meanwhile the people in the Jimhillkameen Valley have to suffer .for the delay. If any place has been made the victim of vile political machinations it is Princeton. First, the provincial government and certain influential newspapers put obstacles in the way of Hill and the V.,V & E. ; then the railway briskly began building and has now slowed down to an almost imperceptible pace, constructing about 80 miles in two years and six months. At the rate rate of progress mentioned it will be another year before the rails are laid this far and at least ten years before they reach the coast. The charter for the V.,V. & E. put a time limit of five years on the construction of the road. It has about two more years to run and Mr. Hill will then have to get another ■one of those obnoxious extensions. He should be made to live up to the terms of his charter. they rail at Hill and the federal government for not carrying out the wishes of the voter. Life in a frontier hamlet has enough of internecine friction and hardship without being frittered away in comparative solitude and inaction while waiting on some Wall-Streeter. If Hill cannot build the road any faster than he is doing then the government should take it in hand, complete it and own it, and that is what will happen if the Conservatives are returned to power. The season for outdoor games, sports and races is about closed and citizens of Princeton are again reminded of the need of proper recreation grounds and race track. Without a proper place for these adjuncts of civilization there will be little hope of making them attractive or successful. The ground might be acquired by lease or purchase or, better still, by gift. Suitable locations near the town are to be found, two of which are especially suggestive. The Allison and Asp flats are the most eligible and would save any hill climbing. These grounds would require little grading and are exceptionally handy to town. There is another site in what is known as Hitch ings' Hollow, a little more than a mile from town. This site is a natural amphitheatre and one of the most picturesque situations around. It remains with the citizens to provide a track and grounds for next year, which can and ought to be done without delay. People in the Similkameen have -waited with splendid patience and fortitude for the coming of the railway. Weeks, months and years have rolled by. in anxious expectancy. Still it comes not. Every eye has been peering for some speck of hope on the distant horizon. As the thirsty traveller on the desert hastens to an oasis so do the people here welcome any sign of the railway's approach. Some green spot on the desolate waste of time has lured them on and on until in -sheer disgust and disappointment The Boundary Creek Times, as is well known, is the personal organ of D. Ross, M.P. Evidently the Times is chicken-hearted over the prospect of its remarkable chief being elected. It says : "Any back east editor who doesn't know that British Columbia will send at least five Liberals to the next Federal Parliament is not acquainted with the situation." In the words of Ross's hireling,Supt. Stevens, there is a "veiled suggestion" in this that he does not expect to be one of the five. That premonitory voice within which accuses him of many little meannesses has deprived him of the little courage he ever had. Mr. Ross is not deserving of victory after his treatment of true Liberals in respect of telephone and other matters. In Cariboo he threw down his staunchest friends that an eastern syndicate might have a certain contract. If a man will ambush his own friends it is safe to predict he will not 'make good' for his constituents or his party. Sooner or later he will bring the blush of shame to his closest friend. today, and suffers grievously, from beer and bigotry. * * The beer lords and the State Church parsons are working hand-in-glove against the government, which is fighting for the well-being of the nation as a whole above the miserable interests of an unscrupulous trade and a privileged church."
