PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, MAY £.1909. $2 a Year in Advance THE BOARD OF TRADE Resolutions re Canada's Contribution to Defence of Empire - Xi, And One Reminding Minister of Public Works of Need of Telephone Exchange Here The regular meeting of the Princeton Board of Trade was held Monday evening, President McDougall iu the chair. After routine communications were read from Chas. A Stoess, C. E-, regarding blue prints for outline map of Princeton district and enclosing account for jii, which was ordered paid. The President explained that the map was intended to be placed beside the mineral exhibit at the Seattle Exposition, serving as a guide to the location of the minerals, the altitudes, &c, demonstrating that all roads lead to Princeton with a downhill pull. Communication from C. S. S'.evens, Stevens, Superintendent of Dominion Government telephone line, replying to the Board's request for a telephone exchange, stating that no estimates had been passed for it and that he would advise tbe Board on receipt of -any definite information that will be authoritative.' The Board deemed it wise, that in view of the government establishing ex changes in other places, a resolution should be again sent to the'Minister of Public Works, Ottawa, calling his. attention to the treatment Princeton is receiving in this matter, although the necessary subscribers were obtained long ago and an exchange promised. The secretar}- of the Liberal Association was invited to cooperate with the Board in its endeavor to secure an exchange. Report of Executive Committee re shipping 430 lbs. of ore samples to the Seattle Exposition, and of a further shipment, also bill of $4 30 on samples sent, all received and report adopted. The following resolution, after some good natnred discussion likening Canada to a grown ion in his father's house learning self reliance and cultivating a spirit' of proper independence, aims to develop shipbuilding and, the kindred industries of iron mining and steel manufacture, the raw material, including almost smokeless coal, being found in abundance in Princeton district. The resolution was carried with only one dissentient voice: Resolved : The Princeton Board of Trade respectfully urges upon the Government at Ottawa that in any considerations of defence of the British Empire it is of highest importance that Canada should learn self reliance to the extent of building her own warships, equipping and manning them ; and, that in the event of an attack on any portion ot the Empire- Canada's contribution- to the general defence shall consist of her navy and such land forces as may be necessary,-all subject to Imperial command. The distribution of 24 Stars at reduced rate during tourist season, at prominent points, and the insertion of a free ad. in it pointing'to the surrounding resources, were passed nem con. Remarks on .the necessity for overcoming a chronic pessimism all too prevalent in Princeton and urging every member of the Board to constitute himself a 'booster club' of one, were approved. Dr.. Lazier and F Pyman too* their seats as new member? and J. Nathan was proposed and accepted. Board adjourned. LOYALTY, SO-CALLED, RUN MAD. LOCAL AND GENERAL ||tftlding, Road and Other Improvements Give Town Busy Aspect. Coal Wanted at Spokane, but Must Wait on Transportation j From Here. Business Instinct Strong in Mai, Loyalty of Secondary Importance. One of the chief sqeakers at the public meeting in Vancouver, where they de cided that Canada shonld at once give a 'Dreadnought to the Imperial Navy, was a certain BelMrving, prominent. in the salmon canning industry. It maybe interesting to compare this gentleman's behavior now, aud at the^iime of the fish ermen's strike, some year., ago. Now, he is anxious for ships to defend the Empire from foreigners: then, he got Government guard boats and militia to protect his foreign fishermen against the British-born strike™. *Npw, he wants Canada to pay for its defense: then, he would not even pay for his own defence, but shouldered the cost" off onto the farmers of Richmond municipality. Now, he is anxious that the British Navy should sweep the sea: then, and since then, he has done his best to make it impossible for the British Navy so get recruits here, by driving white fishermen out of the business. 'Consistency is * jewel' that Bell-Irving does not seem able to afford — unless he thinks that now, as then, his duty is to shout for protection, and let some one else pay. If imperialism has no better champions than Bell-Irving, perhaps we had better let it 'fade away and gradually die.'—Com. TO BE OB NOT TO BE ? Baseball or no baseball thisyear? That is the question. What is the matter with the senior ball artists? A meeting should be called and the club thoroughly reorganized. In these days of prosperity, railroad building and merry widow hats a town without a baseball team is like a wagon with three wheels—pretty rocky. A ball team brings in many a dollar to the town, therefore it behooves everv merchant, hotel man and citizen to give financial assistance' and encouragemeut to the local nine, who are hard up but easily satisfied. Call a meeting and let every citizen turn out. Princeton has the materiel. Visitors to Princeton say that more building is going on here than in the Boundary country or in West Kootenay. Just watch Princeton grow. Painters are at work on the Oddfellows' hall. When finished the^building will present an attractive appearance. James T. Hillis of Vancouver, who. is interested-in placer grofcrra fin this -sk- tion, arrived in Princeton/Sunday. At present he is enjoying an outing fishingl and looking over the district. E. Waterman, while in Spokane recently, was interrogated as to the probability of Princeton coal being-delivered in .that city for next winter's use. He reminded the parties of the desire of his cotnpany to supply coal to the cities, but all would depend on the time construction and operation of the V.,V. & E. to Princeton. A market'for this coal is no longer a matter for conjecture when transportation is afforded.yj - Earth , is being removed from lot 2, block 9, to fill in the low places in front of Dr. Whillans' residence. J Peck MacSwain, who is making his second tour around the world, blew into Princeton on the front end of a strong wind last Saturday. Since his last appearance here he has visited many places, including Allison. His face resembled a shredded wheat biscuit, bearing a month's growth of alfalfa. Peck is on his way to the A. Y. P. fair at Seattle. Mr. and ' Mrs. D. McRae of Alberta were visitors to Princeton the latter part of last week. Mr. McRae may invest in this district. H. M. Moir of Vancouver came in on Tuesday's stage to see what a real live town looked like'. Mr. Moir is installing 'gasoline lighting plants throughout British Columbia. Monday afternoon, while the wind was blowing a terrific gale, • fire started on D'Arcy mountain and soon the flames spread rapidly over the hill. It is not known how the fire originated. Dr. Jackson, dentist, of Penticton, will be in Princeton on May 13th. after high water. Mr, Lambert's many' years experience in the gold fields of this province well qualify him for the work of fluming andgronnd sluicing the creek. The ground is undoubtedly rich, but its location in a canyon makes it difficult of access and can be worked only at a low stage of water. With all the gold recovered from Granite Creek, big values in platinum have been the rule and the virgin ground now to be worked is not •likely to be an exception. Much interest is locally manifest in this woik and everybody hopes 'Charlie' will make a good, big fortune, as a reward', for his pluck and enterprise. HILL AND BODGEBS PLACEBING ON GBANITE. Chas. Lambert arrived on Wednesday from Vancouver, where he spent last winter. He begins work soon on Granite Creek, making ready for placer mining A Probable Cause of Delay in Construction of V ,V. & E. M. K. Rodgers arrived in Hedley last week, evidently in connection with the inventory now being made of the Nickel ?Plate mine. To him, more than any other man, may be ascribed tbe honor of discovering, developing and making the Nickel Plate one of the great mines of the world. If Mr. Rodgers had been allowed to follow his bent while manager of the mine, and reduction works it is not improbable that a larger reduction plant with a smelter in full blast would have resulted. But he was ousted from his position bv connivance'of Daly interests and the mine and works lapsed into a mere money making machine, its successive managers giving no thought to expansion,, or improvement. It is well known that Mr. Rodgers during his regime acquired the Indian reserve on certain conditions fromihe Dominion government, one of which was the erection of a smelter on this ground adjoining the town of Hedley. There is not a vestige of a sign of a smelter being built. Peoplefare asking: Why does not the government enforce the conditions? The member lor Yale-Cariboo is justified in making this matter a subject of parliamentary investigation. It would.be interesting to know who are the beneficiaries of this Indian reserve deaf. Some people surmise that Mr. Rodgers is merely an agent for James J. HiH and that the process of 'freezing out' and buying out the Daly people is now being invoked. In any case it is a fact that Mr. Rodgers is an old friend and employee of the 'Railroad King* and it is a fact that Mr. Rodgers has had some, legal unpleasantness with the Dalys involving millions of dollars. It is said by one in close touch with Rodgers-Hill that the lingering policy in constructing the V.,V. & E. is due to the game being played for the prospective change of con - trol of the Nickel Plate and allied interests. With Rodgers at the helm and Hill on the bridge there would undoubtedly be enlargement and development in.and around camp Hedley. 1—! THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR May 5, i90c The Similkameen Star. J. M.

The mushroom agitation recently begun by the jingoes in certain parts of Canada to imitate New Zealand in presenting a battleship to the Mother Country is dying as rapidly as its forced growth gave it a sickly life. It could not be otherwise. In the first place there is no foundation to the scare. Because Germany is building battleships it does not follow that she will pounce upon England and hold her in vassalage. Man for man the British tar has no superior. In the last analysis it is the man behind the gun that decides the battle and since the days of the Spanish armada, of Trafalgar and other sea engagements, Britain's gunners have shown themselves to be the best in the world. Even if Germany had as many ,Dr«adnaughts' as Britain there should be no cause for alarm. It betrays unnecessary fear and a certain weakness to allow an agitation like the present one to take pos session of a people, for which governments are much to blame. Rather let premiers encourage peaceful sentiment instead of fanning the flames of war. Mr. Asquith and his colleagues would be far more creditably employed in effacing the hell of misery staring them in the face and resultant from dire poverty. The pitiful wail of London's poor, without home, shelter, or decent food, calls aloud for a stop to this mad craze for battleships costing hundreds of millions of dollars. Having done the honorable and right thing with its poor and oppressed, the great Arbiter of battles will defend that nation or government, as history has shown, from the bloodthirsty and aggressive. Long before Germany will attack England she wili have to reckon with internal troubles, her haughty and eccentric ruler paving the way for a more democratic form of government. In view of the reaction which has begun in opposition to the impetuous haste of the jingoes and fireeaters who demanded immediate contribution of cold cash to build one or more 'Dreadnaughts,' it is refreshing to observe the first article of the Star on the subject of 'Defence' substantiated by our esteemed cotemporary, the Edinburgh Scotsman, (Unionist.) It says : "The Empire, armed for defence, not only at its centre but in every extremity, and supporting its armaments by the cheerful self-sacrifice of all its members, would gain immeasurably in power and stability ; and this autonomous principle would be capable of an infinite expansion, such as could mot be hoped for under a system of contributions, however generous." Those words are both reasonable and logical. Two Ministers from Ottawa will confer with the British government bow best to defend Canada, thus to contribute to the defence of the whole Empire. NOTES AND COMMENTS. TheFernie ledger man has had to eat 'crow' and submit to a fine of $100 for unjustly cmrcizing and imputing improp^^-ntotives to a judge of the^Sounty Court. It is true that some judges are not self respecting and therefore do not command that respect they otherwise would. But a certain dignity and respect must be maintained for the bench or there would soon be a farce of all law. It would be a great misfortune, however, if- newspapers were censored from any criticism, as, in the fear of exposure lies niuch protection from judges, who are onlyjiuman and therefore liable to err, £Fhe ublquilous Bill Miner re- ntly bobbed-'up at Ottawa, right under the very nose of the Department of Justice.
