BUILDING IS ACTIVE
Large Number of Buildings in
Course of Erection in
'Old Town/
Business Block on Bridge Street Receiving Foundations—First
Church Structure.
Contractor Knudson is losing no time
on the A. E. Howse building. The big
cellar excayation was quickly made by
Hans Lof with his horse power scrapers.
The cement foundations are now being
made and the carpenters will soon have
the frame of the building in position.
When finished this structure will be a
prominent addition to the business houses
on Bridge street, and will represent an
expenditure of some $10,000.
Max Wilson has his handsome bungalow ready for occupation on the corner of
Lime and Billiter avenue. The architecture of this dwelling attracts considerable
attention, and many favorable comments
are heard.
T. C. King has his dwelling house on
Ve milion avenue far advanced and will
shortly be in occupation. Wm. Cleaverly
i the contracting carpenter for this building. Mr. King is an architect of wide ex
perience and the prettiness of design,
combined with an air of comfort and
stability which feature this building,
testify of his ability.

comfortable and good appearing house ou
Tapton avenue, which gives tone and a
certain air of prosperity to this part of the
town.

moved into his new house on Kenley ave.,
and is n~w partakiug the comforts of this

the McMullen residence on" Endcliffe
avenue, which he has recently purchased.
F. Stamper has built a dwelling on
Bridge street between Riverside and Tap-
ton avenues.
The Anglican church is making good
progress, and Contractor Kansky is push
ing the work with energy.
A number of buildings are in course of
construction and projected throughout
the town to which Star will in future refer. A real, live building boom may be

RAILWAY POINTS.
M__* E. Brooks, engineer for the C.P.R.,
has a party located near Osprey lake, on
Fivemile creek, and is running a line
down to near its mouth on the Similka
meen river. This line affords an alterna
tive route for the Kettle River railw
and will continue up the Similkamare^0
East Piinceton cement works, Princeton
coal mines and the coal mines at Coal
mont, thence through Ottei valley to the
head of Coldwater, where now st.el is
laid from Merritt.
Five miles of grading contract on the
Kettle River railway has been let to L.
M. Rice, from Penticton towards Princeton, and outfits of graders are at work
now. As soon as a practicable route has
been fonnd near Summerland, contracts
will be let covering much of the fifty
miles between that point and Princeton
The fifth crossing of the Tulameen
river between Princeton and Coalmont
has been made, and tracklaying will be
resumed. Steel is expected at Coalmont
by the end of the present week. Now
that the false work is all in place, work
on the superstructure of the five bridges
will begin. It is not probable that the
Coalment stretch will be open for regular
traffic before the new year.

H A. Turner, road superintendent was
in town Saturday.
Mrs. J. D. Lumsden, some four weeks

THE STAGE.
The Jeanne Russell Co. played to good
houses during their three engagements
in Princeton. Of the different plays presented the American Girl proved the
most popular and acceptable. The Devil
was played to a full.house Saturday night.
From a dramatic standpoint it was'tSs?
appointing, being full of inspired sug^es-'
tiveness and far fetched comedy. Miss
Russell, Mr. Brandon, Mr. Darnoclc and
Miss Beaton are finished actors, filling)
their respective roles with that instinctive
impersonation which proves that actors
are born, not made. In the vaudeville
Mr. Darnock was exceptionally funny
and took the audience by storm, while
III M'
Mr. Gray's singing won deserved encomiums.
The two colored entertainers, Sherrahs,
who were here recently in the I.O.O.F.
hall, presented a very humorous and
varied program. Some of the old darkie
songs were sweetly and soulfully rendered, carrying one back to familiar southern
scenes. The negro is naturally musical,
and in their plaintive songs are particularly interesting and winning. The
Sherrahs gave a clean and wholesome
performance and will be well received
here at any time.
King Kennedy, ventriloquist, magician
and moving picture exhibitor, will be in
Princeton shortly and give one of his
unique entertainments. King is now 37
years in the show business and he knows
how.
COALMONT NEWS.
Coalmont, November 4th, 1911 —The
Columbia Coal & Coke Co. are taking
advantage of the prevailing fine weather
to prosecuta a large amount of surface
work. Ten teams and a force of fifteen
men are at work grading a couple of long
sidiugb^OH tHe Company's ground. Two
miles of this work is to be completed as
soon as possible, and will afford room for
the storage of coal cars. Another gang
is busy constructing a large breakwater
for the purpose of diverting a branch of
the Tulameen and thereby reclaiming
about twelve acres of valuable .gronn"_~__r"'
thecompany.
Hankinson's railroad camp moved into
town about a week ago, and are at work
cleaning up the grade through the town
prepartory to the laying of the steel. The
last crossing of the Tulameen river will
be effected by Sunday evening, and the
'track-laying machine should arrive at
Coalmont by Tuesday night. It is stated
on good authority that as soon as the passenger service is inaugerated, the all-night
stop-over of the Great Northern trains at
Oroville will be cut out, the trains running
straight through from Spokane to Coalmont, the new terminus.
The Coal Co. are now making arrangements for the installation of a new saw
mill about a mile above town, on some
extensive limits which Have just been
acquired. The new inil/will cut 10,000
feet of lumber per daj. A spur will be
built by the companyconnecting the mill
yards with thevGjN. main line, so that
the product may?He delivered right at the
town without a great deal of teaming.
Mr. Jones, manager of the Nickel Plate
mines at Hedley was a visitor in town
this week, driving up from Princeton
with Mrs. Jones. This was Mr. Jones'
first visit to Coalmont, and he expressed
himself as being agreeably surprised at
the great headway which had been made
to date both at the mine and in the town.
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Darrah arrived
from Merritt on Sunday last to take up
their residence here.
K>£»
 The veteran prospectors, Dick Roberts
and Alec Robb, who are working with A.
S. Johnstone, storekeeper and postmaster
at Poplar, Kootenay, claim to have discovered the famous lost mine of the
Bayonne country and show some old
hand-made tar-covered fuse and a box of
caps they assert had been left from ihe
previous workings over 25 ytars ago.
There is rich ore in the 200ft. tunnel as
well as in the surrounding rock, and the
samples brought in are of high values.
The advent of fuel oil has become an
important factor in railway locomotion.
It is estimated by the Unit d States Geological Survey that from 20,000,000 to
25,000,000 tons of coal per annum are replaced by oil, and a large part of this is
used by locomotives.
Last year the United States mined 501.
596,378 short tons of cpal or'riearly two
fifths of the year's total production for
the world. This coal would load a train
stretching back and fourth across the
United States from the Atlantic to the
Pacific 33 times—a train approximately
100,000 miles long. Eleven years ago tbe
United States for the first time surpassed
Great Britain "with a production of 253,-
741,192 tons, only a little more than half
of last year's output. The mere increase
of the coal output of the United States for
1910 over that of 1909—40,781,762 tons—
was greater than the total production of
any foreign country except Great Britain,
Germany, Austria, Hungary or France.
Last year 725,030 men mined coal in the
United States. The great coal production
record of igiowas made in spite of a series
of labor strikes participated in by 215,640
men. The loss in wages alone amounted
to nearly $30,000,000.

THE HOSPITAL.
Articles of incorporation have been received from the Provincial Secretary
whereby the board of management of the
Princeton general hospital becomes vested with certain powers and constituted a
governing body within the meaning of
the Public Hospitals Act. Anyone is
eligible for membership who subscribes
$5 annually, which entitles him to one
vote. Larger amounts entitle the donor
to proportionate votes. The Secretary
will be pleased to receive subscriptions
toward the maintenance of this useful
institution.
COAL SHORTAGE.
Mr. Crombie, chief of the information
and statistics bureau of the provincial
government has made an investigation
into the coal situation and finds that
practically all the outlying points already
have not more than 20 per cent of the
winter supply of coal. During his investigation Mr. Crombie visited practically
all of the points along the Goose Lake
line, and portions of the Canadian line
and the Grand Trunk Pacific line from
Saskatchewan to the border.
The shortage of fuel seems to be general
throughout the province, but the warnings of the government have been heeded
and steps are being taken to secure an
adequate supply for the winter. In some
places it was impossible to lay in a stock
of coal, as the bins were needed for the
storage of grain.
J. R. Craig will take for his subject
next Sunday evening, at the Presbyterian
church in the Court house, ' Is it wrong
to gamble ? '
Joe Wigmore, one of the best known
and handy men with the silk, has stepped
down from the box on the stage running
between Tulameen and Princeton, and
will take a needed rest« Driving a stage,
although it looks easy, is hard on the
nerves. Turning sharp/curves on heavy
grades with but an inch to spare betweeu
a rock bluff and 'Davy Jones'locker' and
the old stage creaking under its load cf
humanity is a responsibility which would
make any man round shouldered and
humpbacked. But Joe is neither. He is
thinking of starting a line from Welldo
to Merritt.   Good luck, Joe.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
No matter how positive or reasonably certain a statement may be,
there are always the doubting ones
to cast some derogatory reflection
upon it. When Premier McBride
stated during the last provincial
elections that the Kettle River Valley railway would run into Princeton, there were certain lewd fellows
of the press who derided the premier's assertion and endeavored to
interpret it as a ' political dodge.'
That the premier meant business
there is proof now in the fact that
the Kettle Valley line is being surveyed down Fivemile creek toward
Pjinceton. It will also be recalled
that L. W. Shatford, M.P.P., was
instrumental in having a clause inserted in the agreement between
the Kettle River Valley Co. and the
government making Princeton a
station on the main line or a spur.
From a reliable source it is now
learned that the main line will pass
through Princeton, giving this town
the benefit of a competitive route to
seaboard.
A critical friend points out to the
editor the numerousmistakes found
in any issue of/otar, and asks if it
is not possible to avoid at least the
more palpable ones. Our reply is
that these mistakes are not the result of either carelessness or non-
intelligence. When the Star is able
to afford a proof press and a proof
reader our average of mistakes will
then be reduced to the level of the
ordinary journal. At present everything about the Star and the whole
staff from the ' devil' up and down,
are working at high pressure, and
such a trivial thing as a mistake, is
overlooked in the excitement caused
by 'going to press.' We confess
many imperfections and blunders,
but we have never yet made the
mistake of overlooking a two dollar
bill for a prepaid subscription. Will
our critic try to catch us in this
latter 'error' ?
If there is no censor of plays in
Canada then there ought to be no
delay in appointing one. This conclusion is arrived at after seeing a
play that afforded neither instruc
tion nor amusement. No amount
of good acting can atone for a play
full of drivel, evil promptings and
sensualism. Drama that is not
educative, elevating, refined or of
that quality of humor which provokes the innocent laugh should
not be presented on any stage. An
unpolluted drama, well presented,
is what the intelligent public require,
and in this they ought to be aided
and protected by a government
appointed censor.
CHRISTIANITY-SOCIALISM.
The proposal to populate our
mnsicless mountains and woods
with songbirds is sure to meet with
general support and approval.
Who does not long for the trill of
the birds so familiar to the boys
and girls of the east and other
lands. A man long from home
once remarked : 'I would give five
dollars to hear just a few bars from
the long ago ago robin that used to
sing in the tree by the spring.'
There are many who would love to
hear the old songbirds. Send the
feathered songsters along and let
the lonely woods and hills echo
with inspirational song.
LOCAL AND GENERAL.
The Provincial game warden, A. B.
Williams, has notified deputy game warden, C. Schisler, as follows : 'The season
for beaver opens on Nov. I, 1911, with
the exception of a small area compaising
all the creeks and watersheds of the
Okanagan river and lakes between Penticton and the United States.'
J. E. McCauley presented Star with a
large blue print of Copper Mount-in,
showing the mineral claims compiled
from recent data. It is accurate and
affords a lot of information concerning
miners and prospectors.
J. L. Huston is improving from his
severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism, and many friends hope to see him in
his usual health shortly, He has been
confined to his home for about two
months.
Owing to the absence of the president
of the board of trade, the meeting which
was to have been held on Monday night
last was postponed until next Monday
night A good attendance is desired. T.
C. King, architect, will read a paper on
' The Septic Tank : Its Construction and
Uses.' New members of the board will
bs inducted.
C. O. Brownell, piano tuner, will give
a recital at Penticton on November 9th.
Mr. Brownell is a high class tenor and
will also lecture on the great musical
authors.
In the hurry of last week mention was
inadvertantly omitted of two important
events—the ball gjjgen by the Oddfellows
on Hallowe'en night and the invitation
ball given by the Orangemen. A very
enjoyable time was spent on both occasions, and these popular fraternal orders
again scored social successes.

Hyprocisy   Attacked,   Anarchy  Denounced, Christianity Only
Solution.
' There are as many hypocrites in the
Socialist ranks as there ever were, or are,
in the church. The man who sits night
after night around the hotel fire and raves
about what socialism could and would do,
did it have a chance, and then deliberately refuses to register his vote, is nothing short of a blatent hypocrite.'
Such was the conclusion arrived at by
J. R. Craig, in his discussion last Sunday
evening on  Socialism.     Taking a text
from the old testament,  ' The Year of
Jubilee,'.he showed that from the earliest
ages the cry of the poor and distressed
had gone up to heaven.   Poverty, gaunt,
portentous and tragic, had ever shadowed
civilization.   It had perplexed alike the
minds of legislators,  philosophers   and
peoples.   Poets, from the time of ancient
Greece, had made it their theme. Utopian
.  schemes on paper had been framed D3'
dreamers, of a certain age when poverty
would be no more.   The Hebrew commonwealth was but an attempt to realize
the great ideal of the brotherhood of man.
These had all failed.   Why ?  The answer
was simply selfishness.
'But,' asked the preacher, 'If these
have all failed, are we to simply sit still
and do nothing? Is there no solution of
the problem which men can turn to and
expect a betterment of conditions ?
vSocialism was all right up to a certain
point.    We were discontented with present conditions, and it was no sin to be
discontented.    But the true principles of
reform suffered at the hands of those who
were trying to peddle them.   The public
were scared to accept the doctrines of
men  whose characters, and  reputations
for sound judgement, were questionable
in the extreme.   Men who were simply
' kickers ' would never be reformers. The
attitude of so called socialists towards religion and the church in general was, and
would ever be, deterimental to the success of their propoganda.    Coming to an
analysis, the majority of such ranters had
absolutely no inside in/ormation  regarding the Christianity of the modern church.
It' was with them all hearsay.  They were
human gramapbones. They repeated often
what they heard once.   And the. old proverb was true, ' Bad hearing was bad rehears ng.'     A   man   who,  like   Robert
Blatchford, boasted that he had considered and   discarded   the  doctrine of the
atonement before he was six years of age,
could not be taken seriously on a great
subject, like 'Social Reform,'and themen
who declared that 'Under socialism, wife,
child and home could not exist' were not
considered safe leaders of  the   people.
' For,' exclaimed the preacher, ' if I am

MOST PEOPLE want to invest their money where
they are reasonably sure of a good return. If the
investment' is to be made in real estate there are several
things to be considered : The situation <5f the town, climatic
conditions, transportation facilities, and primarily the
amount of the monthly payroll. When these questions are
asked regarding Coalmont they tnay all be answered to the
credit of the town. The situation and climatic conditions
are ideal; the main line of the V.,V. & E. railway runs
through the town on its way to Vancouver.

The Columbia Coal&Coke Co. operating here have practically an inexhaustible supply of a pure bituminous coal.
They are installing immediately a plant which will handle
2000 tons of coal in 8 hours—this means employment for between
800 and 900 men all told.
Figure out this payroll and see how many coal mining towns
in B.C. can beat it. „ _ffii_*
jX**jj&xt&fc
In a very short ti_ae<a_oalmo_t will necessarily have a population of from 2000 to 2^00 people. Will this cause real estate to rise?
We all know the answer. Then take the opportunity that presents
itself now—buy first hand and reap the benefit of this increase.
The prices and terms are such that anyone can afford to inves
to the extent of one or two lots. They range from $175 to $55°, on
terms of % cash, balance over 18 months.

CHRISTIANITY-SOCIALISM.
Prom 5'h Page.
called upon to give my casting vote in
favor of socialism as against home and religion, then be it known unto you, men
and brethren, I shall unhesitatingly support both my home and my religion.'
And all right thinking people would do
the same.
I ask you,  however,  said  Mr.  Craig,
further, not to listen to such men.   They
are not true socialists.    They are fools.
Under their system it is utterly impossible for a man  to be a christian and a
socialist.     The socialist who has really
the interest of the masses at heart is no
ranter.    He does not preach ' Divide up.'
It is the present division that he is dissatisfied with.   And is it wrong, as we
hjve asked, to be so ?   It is the waste involved under the present regime that he
wants to catch up and more equally divide,
and he hopes to accomplish this, not by
antagonizing people, but by persuasion
and reason.   Now, 'If it is no sin to be
discontented, then why cannot a man be
a christian and a socialist or discontent ?'
What does Christianity seek   to   do ?
Simply to regenerate humanity.    How ?
Individually, of course,    Can a man be a
reformer without first being  reformed ?
Christianity, then, is the only salvation
of the masses and solution of the  problem.    A man. must first be a reformed
Christian  before he can  be  of material
use in the reclama ion and regeneration
of his fellow men.
In conclusion, Mr. Craig urged his
hearers to exercise wisdom and caution
before passing judgment on men who
were sincerely anxious to do something
for the benefit of others, but not to listen
to the anarchist who preached that every
man was a law to himself, and that no
man had a right to frame laws for others.
That was revolution and impractical.
Christianity preached revolution, but it
vas individual revolution, and only by
'that means could we have political and
economic regeneration. And to the worker
the advice of all true socialists was to
make the influence of their thought and
action felt at the ballot box.

THE    SIMILKAMEEN   STAR
BAND DIFFICULTIES
EXPLAINED.
Editor Star—Sir: The position of a
band leader is not all ' roses,' far from it,
especially as leader of a small country
town or village band. In the first place,
in many cases the instruments are pur-
'chased by money received by voluntary
contributions, and, as nearly all the
citizens contribute to the cause, naturally
they think tha__oar boy^should play in
the band, whether he is musically inclined or rfoFT The instruments arrive, and
everything is band, band, band, till the
novelty is worn. Here comes the bandleader's troubles to select for each pupil
the instrument they should learn. It is
necessary here to explain that wood,
wind, brass and stringed instruments are
not like the piano to teach any person,
whether they have an ear for music or
not. They can learn to play the piano,
mechanically, because the teacher tells
them that such a note is C and this one is
D, etc., so that, when the pupil sees the
notes on the music, all that is necessary is
to strike the note on the piano and the
instrument does the rest ; but with a
brass, wood, wind or string instrument
this is not the case ; the pupil must make
the note according to his own musical
ear. Going back to the original subject,
you can see that the band leader has quite
a task. Just fancy, the sporty member
who hasn't time to practice, and thinks
that one night in two or three weeks in
the bandroom is plenty to make one
master of any instrument! Then comes
our hero, the allround man, the man of
many instruments. His family think him
a wonder. This is the kind of a member
that can't learn anything, simply because
he knows it all before he begins, and the
next thing is an ' Oh, it's high time to get
a new band leader. I'm an influental
citizen of the town and a large ratepayer,
and I will bring this matter up immedi
ately.' So you can see from the above
how long a bandmaster lasts, as a rule, so
I will quit before I get kicked out. Yours
truly, J. Oswald Coulthard.

According to the laws of industrial progress and the experience of founders of western towns,
there must be a tangible, genuine basis on which to establish the future city. No amount of
coaxing can bring blood out of a stone, nor can the greatest scientist extract sunbeams from a
cucumber. Every man makes his own destiny==his own fortune==nothing comes by so-called
good luck.   The door is wide ajar for all who have pluck and a little capital.    Investigate Now!
