PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1908. $2 a Year, in Advanc THE BOARD OF TRADE Members Tackle Matters Importance and Digest them Easily. of Telephone Question to the Front and Celebration Deficit Wiped Off Books. The adjourned regular meeting of the Board of Trade was held last Monday night, there being present President Bell, Secretary Harlow and Messrs. Waterman, Cook, Cowan, Coulthard, Murdoch, Summers, McDougall, Smith, Avery, Wilson, Lumsden, Hall, Conn,- Swanson and Wright. After routine the business for which the meeting was called was proceeded with, viz : To consider the advisability of appropriating a certain sum of money, #69, out of the '"unds of the Board, to the payment of deficit arising from the expenses incurred by the various committees in the celebration of Dominion Day. Two motions, for and against the proposition, were submitted to the meeting for discussion, the consensus of opinion being largelv in favor of wiping out the show: Peter Swanson, $20; Tulanfeen Hotel, $12. E. Waterman, $10; C. Summers, $&; Huston Bros., $5; J. R. Campbell, $4.40; G. Murdoch, {2,75; J. F. Lumsden, $2.55 ; Avery, jr., $v, Ross. $1; Marlow, $1; Bell, $1 and Wright, $1; a total of $69.70, thus wiping out without a grunt, the obnoxious debt. A strong plea was made for waterworks and increased fire protection, the necessity for which was largely concurred in, but the member proposing these having suddenly to quit the hall and "wash his hands " the matter received such a jolt that all were speechless and the subject dropped until next meeting. A hearty vote of thanks was voted to (Continued on 3rd page.) IRRIGATION CONVENTION: Subject of Vital Interest to Agriculturists in the Dry Belt. The attention of all those interested in irrigation is directed to the convention to ;be held in Vernon, beginning on Monday, August loth.

The motions did not cbmetoavote, the action of the meeting in subscribing money sufficient to discharge the celebration indebtedness! nullifying the purpose and intent of the motions. As members of the Board are all citizens it was deemed proper that as such and not as members of the Board they were responsible for deficit incurred. Besides, the Board, now that it had been given a new lease of life, had a dutv to perform in the publication of literature making known the vast and varied resources of this district. It also, as an organized body, will assume the guardianship °f the rights and interests of the district, promulgate and devise methods for its advancement, have the oversight of matters requiring legislative attention at Ottawa or Victoria and by all rational means exercising its influence in behalf of harmonious social and economic conditions and conducting an aggressive campaign for the introduction of capital and the planting of settlers. To carry out a policy or program of the nature indicated would require money and it was thought good business "to hold what we have," some $40, and spread the gospel of liberty, mineral wealth and happy homes iu this section with that sum. The Board trusted in the generosity of citizens blotting out the 'stain' of debt contracted for celebration—in that trust a beautiful illustration of 'bearing one another's buidens' was afforded in response, as the following subscriptions will W.

The most noteworthy piece of railway intelligence that has been made public for some months is the announcement of a bonus-given by the Dominion government to the Midway & Vernon, or what is virtually the C.P.R , from Carnii to Penticton, 50 miles, and from Nicola to Penticton, 100 miles, the route for this latter stretch being now surveyed by Engineer Carry. Whether Liberal or Conservative government the policy of bleeding the people white to bloat the legislator and lob byist goes on. Bonus is a synonym of blood—all kinds of leeches, bloodsuckers, feed on the bonus—not a penny of it goes into the actual construction of the road. Uncle Jim is building the V.,V. & E., snail fashion it is true, without a dollar of bonus. Why not any other road do the same ? • A total of 655 miles of railway will be bonussed in this province, costing the people $4,500,000. Geo. Cunningham, superintendent of construction, states that a camp for rock work on the line will be established in two weeks near Allison. There is no sign of tracklaving and no one seem^tp know anything regard ing it. CHILLIWACK, THE PAIR. GUARD THE FIRES. TO DEAL WITH COAL LANDS. An effort will be made to stir up sufficient public sentiment to enable the government to throw open coal lands to settlement. It is a glaring fact that the lands so held comprise a large proportion of the eligible acreage within the limits of Princeton district. It would be a great benefit to the town and the district also if these lands were thrown open to the settler by the government. This is a question which the Board of Trade might -interpose its goodly offices i with benefit to the commuuity and credit to itself. An unconfirmed rumor has been in circulation that the B. C. Copper Co. would resume work on Copper Mountain and would also lake up other propositions. Boys who destroy bird's nests with young in them evince a vicious quality that should be eradicated by the leathern process without delay. Cautions for Campers in the Porest Should be Carefully Read. Before the recent rains a forest fire was raging in the vicinity of Otter Flat and the valley, which, but for the timely downfall of rain may have done "incalculable damage. It is to prevent needless destruction of our forests that governments are making strenuous efforts to overcome the devastating flames by wardens, patrolmen, fire guardians and stringent laws. The Canadian Forestry Association is also doing a good work along the same line by the issuance of bulletins occasionally. Forest fires are caused, in only too many instances, by- campers and tourists who leave their fires unguarded or are in other ways careless about their fires. The sams may be said of prospectors, survey ors, and travellers. Many of these people would be the'last in the world to wilfully destroy timber in this way, but yet a lack of care on the part of some has had a most lamentable result. There a:e THE UNITED EMPIRE. Manager Returns from East—Wonders at Slow Progress of Railway. W, C. McDougall arrived from the east last week after an absence of about two months. He left Mrs. McDougall at Pt. Dover, her former home, where it was hoped her health, though poor, would be built up. Mining business called Mr. McDougall to Montreal, and there he saw financial conditions at short range. Various causes have led up to tightness of speculative money, probably due, chiefly, to a disturbed political atmosphere in Canada and the United States. In any case, there is plenty of money. When the reserve of investors is once removed or relaxed there will be enough capital readily found for B. C , and Princeton with the whole Similkameen district will get her share. As manager of the United Empire Mr; McDougall returns with greater confidence, if that were possible, in the proposition he has labored so faithfully and-, well to develop and will, no doubt, con-j trnue to do so until it becomes a shipping cases of wanton carelessness and even of malicious firing but they are rare. On the discovery of a fire or in the case of its getting beyond control of campers, or others, starting it, it is necessary to notify the nearest warden or constable. No match, cigar end or other burning object should ever be thrown down in the forest until totally extinguished. Camp fires should not be larger than is [Continued on 3rd page.] Daughter of Argonaut of'49 Wedded, J Prosperity "and Cherries. Robert Stevenson, pioneer and explorer, returned last Wednesday from Chilli- wack, where he had been attending bis daughter's wedding. A large number of v immediate friends and relatives were present and the bridal gifts were numerous. Mr. Stevenson states that Chilli- iwack is now passing through a cycle of unusual prosperity. Ranches are being- divided and re-divided, until the whole valley is practically orchard, garden and? small grain acreage. Dairying is the' backbone of the country, its chief source of wealth. Mr. Stevenson presented tbe Star with a box of beautiful cherries, a sample of what is grown in that modern' Canaan.

The fact that no telephone for the transaction of public business has been allowed Princeton by command of the superintendent since July ist is having a bad effect on the town generally. Men whose time is very valuable will not come to Princeton and be out of touch with their business interests. They wish to consult their principals or their partners while on the ground here but are unable to do so without a phone. Last week a millwright froui Spokane came here depending on certain conditions but was disappointed. He wished to confer with interested parties but could not without going to Hedley or Granite where there are public phones. He chose the former, being on the line of the daily stage. It will take him three or four days, by his own statement, to get back to Princeton and go on with the business in hand. Loss of time, loss of hotel trade, loss of prestige •or business reputation of the town, ' loss of equal, footing with other towns in the Similkameen and loss of our rights as citizens and taxpayers : these are some of the ills occasioned by the absence of a public phone in Princeton. It is not treating the town fairly or without prejudice to thus discriminate. Is there no remedy, or do citizens intend to meekly submit to such contemptible sidetracking? Now that the Board of Trade has underwent at least, temporary resurrection it could present some resolutions to the Premier of Canada and the Department of Public Works which might relieve the situation. In any case the least citizens could do is to enter public protest against the exclusion of Princeton from the benefits of a public phone. The rights of manhood can thus be asserted by the protestants, by which they may gain the respect of their fellows, if not the ear of the super, at Summerland. There is no difficulty, in getting an agent; it all lies with the authorities. PLIES AND DISEASE. At this season of the year everyone has to undergo the annoyance and serious nuisance of those " horrid flies." In spreading the germs of disease house flies are a menace to health and it is with a view to warning and prevention that the Chicago Health Department has recently . published some valuable information, extracts from which are given as follows : '' For several years physicians have been studying flies as carriers of disease germs and more especially the probable part they play in the spread of typhoid fever and other intestinai diseases.- Investigations already made disclose the fact that flies undoubtedly carry the germs of disease on their feet, and this makes them far more danger- eras than mosquitoes. Asus well known, flies swarm and breed it! filth. During the summer months they are everywhere ; stables, barns, garbage boxes, decaying animal matter of all kinds swarm with them. From these places they migrate to our homes and are crawling over the viands in process of cooking in the kitchen and following them even to the dining room tables. In New York city a commission of scientific men has traced the increase of typhoid fever during the summer months to the prevalence of the common house fly. It was found that the activity of the fly is in proportion to the temperature ; and the time during which it is most active and, of course, most numerous, corresponds exactly with the season of the greatest ; prevalence of typhoid and other intestinal diseases. Dysentery and typhoid disappeared when proper disinfection had beon enforced. In several instances outbreaks of typhoid were traced directly to transmission by flies by use of staining fluids which demonstrated the transit of the flies from filth direct to the kitchen. The house fly is not born in the house. A few flies have each winter hidden in cracks and crevices. When the warm weather comes they creep out and the female fly seeks a proper and convenient place, generally a manure pile, where it deposits about 150 small white eggs. In warm weather those eggs will hatch iu eight hours. Their growth is made in the form of larvae or maggots. Inside of ten days they develop into flies ready to lay more eggs, from which come more flies. I It is asserted that 95 per cent of all the house flies are born amid horss manure, and that the remain-: ing 5 per cent are born in similar substances. With these facts in mind, it is apparent that flies can most readily be destroyed while in the larvae stage. Stable manure that has been thoroughly disinfected with chloride of lime will not breed them. But this is expensive. The better way is to have all manure promptly removed from the residence district. But as flies breed from the egg to the fly in less than ten days, all stable manure should be removed at least twice a week. This is important, as no manure means no flies." A. MURCHIE "S3?
