Vol. XII. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1911. No. 45. 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. Forsyth Bros, have completed thejr comfortable and good appearing house ou Tapton avenue, which gives tone and a certain air of prosperity to this part of the town. C. Bromfield has -finished his row of tenements on Riverside/-.enue, and they are proving to be^/c real necessity for working men. Wm. Thomas is finishing his two cottages on Kenley avenue and already has applicants for rent. J. J. Priest, photographer, has recently moved into his new house on Kenley ave., and is n~w partakiug the comforts of this cosy cottage. [gert Irwin is finishing up his own reside on Kenley avenue and will shortly b_ able to live in what promises to be a happy home. When painted, thig<_ouse will favorably compare with\^my in the town. J. Thompson has painted and improved 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 expected with the early spring. 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. THE WEEKLY GRIST First Flurry of the f Beautiful Snow,' but It Soon Goes Off. Hospital Auxiliary Chooses Officers .an_tj(_nnounces Annual Grand Masquerade Ball. EAST PRINCETON NOTES. East Princeton, November 6—W. J. Budd arrived from Vancouver today. J. MacDonald, contractor, has started work on the Similkameen bridge and will rush it >6/fcompletion. The bridge is a Howe_fa_3S with two spans ofVso and 100 feel^reepective lengths, t'tae approaches will be about two hundred^feet in length. The Methodist church has secured two lots on the corner of Seventh avenue and Portland street. They will erect a church at once. D. G. McCurdy has built an ofBce on the corner of Princeton street and Seventh avenue, to be used temporarily as the townsite office. W. H. Carsly will start work shortly on his residence on Ninth avenue. Fred Keffer and Mr. Studenbaker, experts for the B.C. Copper Co., motored from Greenwood on Monday and visited Coalmont and Copper mountain. Ben Baker has been recently at work on the Duke of York erecting a large bunk house. The Great Northern 'needs the mon.' Business has increased to such an extent as to require three men at the railway Station. \/ At the annual meeting of the Ladies' Hospital Auxiliary, last Thursday, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. Howse ; vice- president, Mrs. Osborne ; secretary, Mrs. McDougall ; treasurer, Mrs. Andras. The auxiliary is in a flourishing condition and has accomplished much good work during the past year. It is worthy of the patronage of every lady, and the membership should be largely augmented during the next year. The annual masquerade ball will be held at the new year. H A. Turner, road superintendent was in town Saturday. Mrs. J. D. Lumsden, some four weeks ill, left on Friday for Vancouver, where she will have special treatment. She was accompanied by her husband and Mrs. W. D Young, the latter kindly going as far as Spokane to assist in the patient's care. Many friends here will be glad to hear of Mrs. Lvmsden's complete recovery. H-y. Mfeausette, plumber and ainsmith, has/fe<_)ened at the old stand in the Infill .Slock. R. Hewat, of Fairview, assessor and collector of Kettle river disU_cts, was in town last Saturday on a business visit. On the ist inst., at th&.residence of her soninlaw, J. A. Bom#ard, Mrs. C. A. Larabe passed awaySt the advanced age of 76 years. She was born at Tamworth, Ont., and has a sister and brother living at Badax, Michigan, besides leaving three daughters and one son. To the bereaved relatives Star extends sincere sympathy. The funeral service was conducted by the Presbyterian missionary student, J. R. Craig. 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. RELIGIOUS SERVICES.

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. Ourj Business Has Increased And we are extending trade to all parts of the district.

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. J. H. Jackson inflow operati i =1 the stage line between Princeton ant. fulameen and repDots the business a? t look very bright in the latter place. ^ Col.

Y Y 1 1 1 1 __> 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.

MM 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. —,1 m,i _n-_f^**PT_if^M**^ M 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.

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.

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. Princeton, November 3, 1911.
