In Operation Within a Tear, Displacing Wells and Meeting Need j of Citizens. The begiuning of construction of the Princeton water works by the Vermilion Forks Co. on Monday was a welcome topic for citizens. Very largely these necessary works contribute to the growth of towns, in fact, modern civilization cannot do without them. As part of the preliminary program a road will be made along the Tulameen river to the site of the pumping station. Foreman Golds- borough is in charge ot the roadmaking and E. Barr Hall will superintend the generai construction of the water works system. Details of the system will, no doubt, be announced later, but for the present enough is known to satisfy the public mind that an nptodate service will be installed. The old fashioned and unsanitary wells at best must soon give place to the healthful mode of supplying water to towns and cities. All citizens will gladly welcome and patron lze the Princoton water works. TOWN AND DISTRICT. The Moving Throng, Arrivals and Departures of People Passing. Luke Gibson returned last week from Chilliwack, which place is now growing with great rapidity. Peter Swanson has gone to Spokane for a few days' visit. Geo. H. Broughton, D.L.S. and P.L.S., arrived in town Monday on professional business and will be here for a few days. Lewis Hind, M.E., Victoria, is in town on mining business and expects to remain a few days. Thos. Sloan left Monday for Vancou yes on a business and pleasure visit. Mrs. Van Rose, of Hedley, was a visitor to Princeton last week. K. G. McNellie, district passenger agent of the C.P.R. at Nelson was in town, recently. J. G. Macdonell has gone to Vancouver where the attractiveness of real estate is proving too great to withstand. He expects to locate there. Hugh Kennedy arrived Monday from outside points. J. A. Brown, editor of the late Chronicle at Keremeos, was in town last week on a business visit. R. H.JCarmichael and Motyiay/from Keremeos, where he has been naanager of the E.T. bank, and will wife arrived on reside on Kenley Av. Both are popular in the social arena and Mr. Carmichael's severance from the board of trade there gave that body a severe wrench which caused expressions of regret followed by a warm vote of thanks for his valuable services as secretary ot the board'. In explanation of the absence of a school teacher for past two weeks and of the fuitber delay now seemingly unavoidable, Mr. Avery, secretary of the S-hool board, states that be has ■ eceived a telegram from Miss Manly saying that owing to sickness she would not be able to leave for Princeton before tomorrow. As she has to cross the continent it is not likely school will open for another week or ten days. I Aylmer Hill, and wife of Welland, Out., were recently guests of Mrs. Schisler and Mrs. Snowden. Mr. Hill will, in all probability make his residence here. LARGE BOARDING HOUSE. Fowler, Nelson & Lundgren are making go^oTprogresT^ri the large^ building which they are erecting on Vermilion Avenue for board and lodging purposes. Mr. Nelson has already had experience iu building hotels and finds it of much service in planning the preser/t structure. An office, sitting room and stairway form the front of the ground floor, behind being the dining room, kitchen, pantry, bath room and two rooms at first to be used as commercial sample rooms. Tbe second floor will be divided into some twenty^oncroesis. The whole building, 32x86, two storeys, will be- finished with the best workmansnip and material and will have almost sound proof rooms. In the construction of these rooms about 8 tons of wood fibre plaster will be used, which at the present freight _jrates costs nearly $300 laid down. PLANING MILL RUNNING. J. F. Waddell, manager of the Similkameen Lumber Co., has installed planing machinery on the company's ground near the railway station. It is aimed to meet a growing demand for dressed lumber and being located in the heart of town is handy ,to; building operations present and prospective. Special orders for planed lumber, and everything in the building line will be supplied as soon as the company have premises in shape for carrying a large stock. The sawmill at Allison will keep the Princeton yard in stock where it will be manufactured into the desired product and delivered to customers. Manager Waddell is a practical millman of wide experience with whom it is a pleasure to deal. He has a down town office in the Britton block. -j^VThe Columbia Coal & Coke Co. are about to employ/a diamond drill on their property oh tl/e North Fork of Granite Creek. LOCAL AND GENERAI Mining and Other Industries in the Making Points to Prosperity. Annual Meeting of Osoyoos Coal Co. at Nelson—Big Safe for a ■ Local Bank. ! J^P^Krriyn, government Pffp"t at "Pair- view, was in town on official business Tast week. C. V. Prosser of Keremeos is assisting jjis brother herf during a rush of harness making. H A. Massonat, jeweller, was successfully operated on for appendicitis by Dr. McEwen in the Hedley hospital last week. The patient is doing nicely and is axpected home shortly. A. E. Howse, Nicola, has purchased a fine automobile, which will be chauff- eured by his son Charlie, who is expert in mechanics' and the handling of electric juice. A.Rankin, assistant to Dr. McEwen, railroad physician, is now located here and will attend patients off the line of construction. Mr. Rankin is a student of more than usual promise, having yet, to complete his course before attaining! his M.D. Should it come to the ear of anyone that the Star refused to publish notices of certain religious and cognate services put it down as infamously false. Star always has, without charge, published such notices when hauded in. Church of England—Next Sunday, in the school house, service will be held as follows : Holy communion at 8:30 a.m.; morning prayer and communion at 11 a.m.; evening prayer at 7:30 p.m. The contract has been let for a $70,000 Y.M.C.A. building in Victoria. Hon. G. E. Foster has retired from politics owing to ill health. ^nrith<»r- harrn»r shT, mg.king three in all in town, has been opened in the Britton block. The town of Ladner is to have water works costing #135,000. Jim Snowden is putting the finishing touches of paint on his fine new residence, Harold Av. Local Orangemen will have a visit f:om dignitaries of the order on the 19th prox. The anniversary of the I.O.O.F. occurs on the 26th inst. It is proposed to mark the occasiou with special services on that day or the Sunday previous. All Oddfellows are expected to attend. Peter Johnson and P. Y. Smith have recently been in Hope mountains and report lots of snow. The weather was ver3' stormy, but they are tough and therefore stood the long trip without anything more serious than a stiffened joint or two. A large safe weighing 6000 lbs. was recently placed in the Eastern Townships bank, corner Bridge St. and Harold Av. Manager Carmichael now feels that he is safe from the attacks of fire or burglar, and indeed the formidable proportions of the safe, with massive doors and steel bars, warrants that security. The bank is now complete in every respect and has comfortable quarters. J. Morris, a Spokane mining man, arrived yesterday, RESTAURANT-LODGING HOUSE. Martin Lundin and H. L. Holmberg' have begun ronssruction of a restaurant and lodging house on Vermilion Avenue, size_24.xdo^lwo storeys. The lower storey will be used for restaurant purposes and will afford ample accommodation for a large patronage. The'building is being constructed in a substantial wayand when completed will be a decided improvement to the town. / COAL COMPANY MEETS. The first annual meeting of the Osoyoos Coal Co., originally the Similkameen, was 'recently Held in^Nelson. ' The following were elected directors: S. M. Brydges, I. G. Nelson, Wm. Gosnell, J. A. Gilker, Dr. Morrison. W. Waldie and H. E. Goodeve. The company is composed of Nelson men and is a close corporation, no stock"1* being on sale. The property of the company consists of 1,920 acres of crown granted coal lands, 3^ miles south-west from Princeton on the Similkameen river. It is proposed to develop the property as quickly as possible, work commencing about May 1st, the hope being to ship coal to Nelson by 1st October.—Colonist. ^, , ^i^Z-Ar^^uL /*yy ^y-^^ \ CATERWAUL OF CATS. Whether it is because this is spring and all nature is in consequence rejuvenating that there is an epidemic of cats in town or whether it is the attractions of high living that cause them to congregate here is a matter for the naturalist to solve. After a man has said his prayers and retired to his 'virtnous couch' it cannot enhance his religious aspirations or elevate the tone of his somewhat stag- • nant spirituality to have a mixed assembly of cats in his backyard chanting some awful medley in "keys from A;to G stac-ca't-to. Last night seventee/ cafs "4. and a moaning cur kept up a glorious charivari until all hope of sleep was abandoned. Neither shoes nor/shewing' seem to have any efletft on thei4 wretched animals. The only redress now seems to lie in legislation limiting *ne number of cats pro rata or pro cat/ to the human population. iJyy^fy^ ^W'JPIPW.^ I—— 1 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR April 13, 1910.

LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE OF PRINCETON. That an era of substantial progress and prosperity has set in all over the province of British Columbia, including, of course, the Similkameen and Princeton district, one has only to look around for proof. With the mileage of railway under construction and that to be immediately undertaken there can be: no mistake in predicting vast expansion in every sphere of industrial production. One has only to recall the great- strides made in the provinces east of the Rockies to reasonably assume that a like condition awaits the finished railways in this province. The prairies for wheat and British Columbia for minerals, the one a necessary concomitant of the other. With these necessary natural resources in abundance and the transportation for them at hand, what remains but development and expansion ? It is a natural law that trade follows in the footsteps of cultivation and development and, with the increase of acreage tilled and the opening up of mines in Princeton district, no mau, however pessimistic, could fail to find reason for present and future confidence. Nearly every western town and district has had its period of discouragement and business depression. Princeton is now emerging from a long seige of discouragement and adverse circumstances due to political jugglery, causing delay in the construction of the railway. No discouragement, however, has changed any intelligent man's views with regard to the still latent potentialities of the country. Those who have weathered the "stress of of life on the frontier for the past seven or eight years in the Similkameen have an abiding faith in the future of Princeton. Indeed, the town is founded on the surest of all hopes, viz : Centrality surrounded Ly infinite resource. Thus, there are assurances of a genuine character which mould the town into a city and make it a real factor in the progress of the'district. The problems of rounicipal.govern- ment are sure to overtake this and every other town. Water works, thanks to the enterprise of the Vermilion Forks Co., will shortly be begun and followed later with electric light. Sewerage, street paving and hospital accommodation are problems either partly solved or awaiting solution. It is only by facing these various problems with resolute wills and united effort that successful city- building can be undertaken and carried out to completion. The hospital, now in its preliminary stage, must be carried on to a finish. As a means of giving permanency to a town and adding to its reputation there are few things of more value than a hospital properly equipped and conducted. It is the earnest hope of the board of managers to have the hospital completed in the early summer. It will depend largely on the prompt response of the people for subscriptions to the hospital fund when the building will be opened for the reception of patients. But in any case the necessity for a hospital having been generally admitted there is only one thing to do —build it. ♦ ^ ♦!♦ NOTES AND COMMENTS. It is a fact, admitted by some of the leading Tory press, that mutiny exists against R. L> Borden, the Conservative leader. Borden is a good party man, able, but lacking that necessary quality, personal magnetism. Had the member for Yale-Cariboo the necessary expert ence he would make an able leader and thus be iu iine for the premiership. All's well, at least for another mouth. Halley's comet will be nearest the earth about May 10th. Should the tail of this celestial visitant hit dear old mother earth there will be something doing. Gas, scientists say, will do its deadly work when the contact takes place. We know some people on whom gas could not possibly 'fiz.' They are even unimpressed with a hard hint to pay their subscriptions to the Star. Such people could not possibly be affected by such a volatile, vapid thing as gas. Oh, no. Major Megraw, the warrior editor of the Gazette, has hit ' Occult Science' a deadly blow. He says 'Man was given the five senses for a full enjoyment of all there is in this iife and these five are enough for him.' We should like to know who made the Major dictator as to what is good and sufficient for man? Has he practised the ' Occult.' Did he ever gaze with that insane stare at the crystal? Five senses, eh ! Well, the rule in this world is to get all one can, and if a man wants more than five senses, let him help himself. We are astonished at the Major putting a limit on sense or senses. !<$v»ji: ; There is no use trying to evade the question of 'women's rights.' Better give them all they ask ahd a little more. _ _ "byv" „ \ h m I 1 1 T 1 1 I T m We have money To invest in any sound proposition ^i^t^^V^AVWWVw limber, cool or Agricultural Lands Make a clear sketch and write fully in your first letter if you want a definite answer M^^V^W^Vl Western Canada Investment Co.
