No. 35. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1910. $2 a Year in Advance WHY WASTE TIME? Tardy Construction of V.,V. & E. Delays Progress of Country. Canadian Northern and Kettle Valley Lines Push Work —Spur to United Empire. J. H. Kennedy, chief construction engineer of the V.,V. & E., arrived in town last Thursday, having made the journey from Hope via Coquihalla Pass and down Otter Valley. He admitted that a large reduction in the force of laborers had been made on this end as well as on the Abbotsford end. It was due to instructions from the office of Foley, Welch & Stewart, railway contractors, Seattle. Grading-had been well advanced along Sutnas prairie and around the north shore of Sumas lake when the order came. One hundred men will be retained on each end ; no new work being permitted for the present. No engineer or other employee of the Great Northern or any other railway company is supposed to know anything for publication when a question of policy is involved Behind the policy of the Great Northern stands President Hill and he is as dumb as a sphinx just now. But tbe people of southern B.C. want to know what is the cause of the delay in construction. Through parliament they have given Mr. Hill a charter and it is no light matter for him to tear that docn- ment in shreds, the spirit and essence of which is time. The V.,V. & E. must be built continuously and speedily, for it was never intended that construction should proceed leisurely and at the caprice of some disgruntled railway president. It is poor revenge for President Hill to delay construction of the V.,V. & E. because of adverse railway legislation in the United States—a statement which seems to have gained credence with the press. The prosperity of this country depends on the early completion of the V.,V. & E. to the coast, and too much time has already been frittered away in building some 150 miles in 5 years. Star would urge upon the Board of Trade the necessity of resolving on this question and, as they say in western parlanee, 'rope' Jim Hill until he makes better time on construction. The Canadian Northern and the C P.P.. • (K.V.R.) are both pushing construction with all the help available. It is estimated the C N. will have 90 miles of grading done this fall and 25 on the K. V. by the C.P.R. While Mr. Kennedy, C. E., was here last week he made a reconnaissance of the proposed spur from the main line of the V.,V. & E. at Allison to the United Empire coal mine and the projected cement works on Onemile. The distance is about 1!_ miles. AUTO ANNIHILATES DISTANCE. Whizz ! zip ! and a clond of dust in its wake, was the way an auto passenger car went through town Tuesday to catch the Great Northern train ready to pull out from the station. Messrs. Gregory. Hincks, Rankin and Cleveland were the passengers while Charley Howse was at the wheel and 'Dayj___Qtocl_et__i_t-)n the safety valve. It was a spectacular run against—time, the—Whole journey of 71 miles being covered in 4 hours, 30 minutes and 17 seconds. There was not a hitch or delay, the machine doing its climbing and curving with perfect relia bility and ease, proofs of the Russell's splendid mechanism and durability.

Granite Creek, Aug. 22.—W. L. Parrish and family left for Winnipeg last week via Vancouver. Mr. and Mrs. Fraser accompanied them to Vancouver where their daughter Marjorie will te placed in school. O. L. Knight of Rossland, N. Kelsey and B. Mills of Oroville, arrived in Granite Saturday last to tnstall a diamond drill on the property of the Columbia Coal & Coke Co. W. P. Norrie leaves tomorrow for Coleman, Alb., but will not return alone. A good step in the right direction. Mr. Nelms, Miss Reece and Miss Smedley, ot Chilliwack, were visitors to Granite on Sunday. H. O. Heimbecker of Winnipeg arrived in Granite on the 19th to take the position of bookkeeper for the C.C.C. Co. A party of five left Granite on Saturday for Bear lake returning Sunday night with beaming countenances and 3 fish. As a result of the hard ride Mr. Clute is walking with a crutch. The station ground and shunting yard at Welldo are ready for the steel and the building. Labor Day is going to be the best yet in Hedley. Knight & Day are giving the Lucky Pair a holiday after having completed about 200 feet of tunnelling, besides a lot of open cutting. Their works are evidence of great faith and the results justify both. They have got a mine. Dr. Rankin is going into the drug business with Mr. Gemmill at Merritt.

Lead well Defined and Traced for 2,200 Eeet—Rich Strike in Skagit Country* Ben Baker has shown the existence of two leads on Whipsaw claim, which ad? joins the Lucky Pair group on the north. Knight & Day have always believed that two leads traversed this group, but it remained for Ben Baker to prove it, which he has conclusively done in his assessment work. The leads enter the Lucky Pair about 250 feet apart. Naturally enough, the owners of the Lucky Pair are pleased with the discovery as it enhances the value of their property. They intend to follow up Ben's good work and trace this second lead through the Lucky Pair group. One of the leads carries pure galena. The main lead of the Lucky Pair is now traceable 2200 feet. Dick Fitzgerald was in town Monday from Whipsaw camp, where he has been working on the Centre Star group. He has strnck a big dyke of ore, running through which are streaks of pure galena. There are evidences that the ore body, which, in all probability will prove to be" the mother lode, is not far away. He has done considerable open cutting and is now at work on a tunnel, with wnich he hopes to tap the lead. Fitz is a hard worker and is deserving generous reward out of earth's treasure vaults. Jim Snowden and Leo McMullen are elated over their recent discovery of a silver lead in the Skagit country, where they have been prospecting. Their locations were made just south of the inter national boundary line in Washington and are, doubtless, continuations of the celebrated silver-lead property owned by Luke Gibson on the B. C. side of the line. Thev brought back some very fine Continued on 3rd page. ' PIEEEE OF THE PLAINS.' Dramatized from a Story of Pioneer Life on the Western Plains. With the presentation of 'Pierre of the Plains' by the Harold Nelson Company at the I.O.O.F. hall next Friday, Aug. 26, the pinnacle of local interest has been reached. Mr. Nelson is Canada's foremost actor-dramatist, is the pioneer producer of palatable entertainment of the educational and highly moral sort, and is perhaps the only star who has the advancement of theatrical matters in this section of the country at heart. This was demonstrated when he closed his run of unprecedented success August 1st at the Beck theatre, Bellingham. The Beck theatre and the Garrick. theatre at San Francisco have been put at Mr. Nelson'z disposal as producing houses and at high admission prices his efforts have won favor aud unlimited engagements. Despite these alluring inducements he has induced his manager, G. G. Garrette, to arrange his time so as to permit of the present tour. 'Pierre of the Plains' is Mr. Nelson's masterpiece. It deals with stirring scenes on the border in the days of the early settlers. Pierre, played by Mr. Nelson, is a half breed who has been much maligned by enemies in the eyeVbf Jen, the daughter of a road house settler. Pierre loves the girl devotedly without telling her, until he has proven his cour- ageousness in a tragedy that serves as a thrilling climax. The end Sr a happy one for all concerned. In the excellent supporting company Miss Grace Johnson, the beautiful young leading lady, who won many laurels with the Nelson Company iu 'Frisco and Bellingham, gives a beautiful rendering of the character of 'Jen.'

That must have been an interesting 'game of lawn tennis reported from Merritt between Tommy Day of Princeton and Peck MacSwain, What time they were not chasing the ball they were argufying social, economic and political questions, until finally the Princeton man gave his opponent what the French call a 'coup de grass' thus ending the game before it was finished. P. W. Gregory, P.L.S., arrived in town Tuesday from Vancouver. R. Soutter is at Tulameen frescoing the Tulameen hotel. He is much missed in Piinceton by tillicums. O. Rain is somewhat under the weather with a touch of rheumatism which laid him up. Every knock is a boost from the chronic knocker.

The selection of a route for the interprovincial road is a matter of great importance to the district through which it will pass. It is the link which will connect Hope with Princeton that offers considerable difficulty in locating, not only on account of the mountainous nature of the country but also to satisfy the various interests affected by the location of the road. At present the Minister of Works, assisted by Mr. Shatford, M.P.P., is securing such information as will make the route chosen the very best available and absolutely safeguard all interests. Explorations are now being made to this end, which with data already at hand will enable the locating engineer to proceed with. undeviating certainty ag to the best route. It is generally admitted that west and south ot Princeton, in the watershed of the Similkameen river, including the valleys of the Roche and Pasayton, there are immense and varied natural resources which rrequire a wagon road to assist in making productive. Then, there is the important consideration of elevation over Hope mountains. Low grades and snowfall are factors of vital concern in crossing a mountain range and these can best be obtained or avoided by following least elevation. According to the ■railway survey the lowest pass in the Hope range is found via the southern route which leads to Hope following Silver creek. The deciding principle in locating the interprovincial trunk road between Princeton and Hope will, no doubt, be directness and benefit to local interests. It is expected that a large automobile traffic will develop aud that ore and other freight will be hauled on it. A water grade should be maintained wherever pos- , sible, the rivers and creeks affording a downhill pull for all tributary tonnage. The best road is the cheapest and if laid out properly will never require changing. The old style of tortuous, up-hill and ' down-dale road, which usually followed the line of least resistance in construction, is a source of annoyance, and is subject to costly and •continuous betterment and improvement. Even if the initial cost of a road be more, providing it is located where nature and common sense design it to be, it is cheaper -because of its permanency and far more satisfactory for travellers and freighters. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The best citizens are those who have pride in every form of civic progress. Anything for the general weal will have their sympathy and support. Greed aud graft are responsible for many a politician's downfall and complete obliteration. In private life the way is strewn with moral wrecks from the same causes. What are you doing to remedy these evils ? Don't begrudge the enterprising and industrious man his dollars— make a few yourself. GEO. H. BROUGHTON B.C. & D.L.8., Grad. S.P.S.

"" samples of the ore which outcrops on their claims, in which native silver, chal- copyrites and lead oxide are plainly seen. This section of country is very much broken and almost inaccessible with pack horses, but it has a highly mineralized cast and is an attractive field for prospectors. Pouwels & Bonniver are mining on the Red Star at Roche river and now have about $7,000 in ore on the dump. They have got a mine, but there is neither smelter, railroad or wagon road to help them out. R. Stevenson's claim, the Sardis lies between the Centre Star and the S &. M and is undoubtedly in Hue with the lead which is believed to underlie the whole string of claims along the Whipsaw valley. Billy Fearless has done a pile of work on the Long Chance and is encouraged with the prospects. In his case faith and works will have their good effect and the whole country profit by his humble labors. Sam Spencer and Jack Crowley are at work on the S & M group and are satisfied with the showings. J. E. McCauley is making good progress toward the lead on the Rero, Copper mountain. He has been faithfully drilling away for the past two years in a tunnel, with which he hopes to soon strike the lead. He has given steady employment to miners and every business in Princeton has felt the benefit of his large expenditures. Like all legitimate enterpriscjand success the Reco and its operator have had to endure knocks when encouragement should have been forthcoming. Within the past month there has been a trek of miners and prospectors into the country lying between the heads of the Roche and Skagit rivers. Some rich free milling ore bespattered with gold caused the stampede. The country is known to be gold producing in placer as well as ore and these facts produce the regular periodic stampede. Some day in ana around Steamboat mountain will be a great mining camp. NOTICE.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE. Good laws will not amount to much if the execution of them is entrusted to enemies instead of their friends and supporters. There are over 3000 languages in the ■world and still it is difficult to find words sufficiently expressive of one's disgust for the man who is so lazy that he has to be pap-fed at the public expense. Such is politics. Suspicion is accountable for nine tenths of social friction. Women rarely confess faults ; men do vwhen they are cornered.

Good laws will not amount to much if the execution of them is entrusted to enemies instead of their friends and supporters. There are over 3000 languages in the world and still it is difficult to find words sufficiently expressive of one's disgust for the man who is so lazy that he has to be pap-fed at the public expense. Such is politics. Suspicion is accountable for nine tenths •of social friction. Women rarely confess faults ; men do when they are cornered. Notice the obsequious affability of those who are merely hunters—beware of the oily tongue. Christian Science is not a theory, it demonstrates, proves, solves, hence its name.
